Everyone loves it when Jaani visits. And as we all know, pets are great at helping us relax.

Stroking a pet has a really interesting (and well-studied) effect on our nervous system and hormones. When you gently stroke a dog or cat, your body tends to increase levels of oxytocin, often called the “bonding hormone”. Oxytocin is associated with feelings of trust, calm, and emotional safety. At the same time, it can help reduce levels of cortisol, which is your main stress hormone.

This shift in chemistry helps move the body out of a stressed, alert “fight or flight” state and into a more regulated “rest and digest” state, supported by the parasympathetic nervous system. Many people also notice a slower heart rate, lower blood pressure, and a general sense of grounding and ease.

So in simple terms, physical contact with a calm pet can help the body feel safer, reduce stress signalling, and support a more relaxed physiological state.

Go Jaani!!

One of the things that makes The Bespoke Clinic different is that we do not view health, wellbeing and aesthetics as separate disciplines.

Traditionally, these areas have often existed in isolation. You might visit one practitioner to discuss your health concerns, another to support your wellbeing, and a third for aesthetic treatments. However, the reality is that they are all interconnected.

How we feel physically affects our emotional wellbeing. How we feel emotionally can impact our physical health. The health of our skin can reflect what is happening internally, while confidence in our appearance can influence how we feel about ourselves and engage with the world around us.

This is why we have built The Bespoke Clinic around a more integrated approach. By combining functional medicine, wellbeing therapies and evidence-based aesthetic treatments, we are able to look at the whole person rather than focusing on a single symptom or concern.

For some patients, that may mean investigating the root causes of fatigue, digestive issues or hormonal imbalances through functional medicine testing. For others, it may involve supporting their wellbeing through lifestyle changes and stress management. It may also include aesthetic treatments that help them feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.

None of these approaches exist in a vacuum. They work best when considered together as part of a wider picture of health and wellbeing.

Our goal has always been to offer truly personalised care, helping patients not only look their best, but feel their best too. By bringing these disciplines together under one roof, we are able to provide a more comprehensive and joined-up approach to modern healthcare.

Because true wellbeing is about far more than treating symptoms. It is about supporting the whole person.

When we think about our health, we often focus on individual symptoms. Whether it is low energy, digestive discomfort, skin concerns, poor sleep, brain fog, or a weakened immune system, we tend to treat these issues separately. However, many aspects of our wellbeing can be traced back to one important area of the body: the gut.

Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiome. This complex ecosystem plays a vital role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, hormone regulation, and even mental wellbeing. When the microbiome is balanced and diverse, it helps support overall health. When it becomes disrupted, it can contribute to a wide range of symptoms and health concerns.

There are several ways you can support a healthy gut microbiome. Eating a varied diet rich in fibre from fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains helps nourish beneficial bacteria. Including fermented foods such as yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi may also help to increase microbial diversity. Staying hydrated, managing stress, exercising regularly and prioritising quality sleep can all have a positive impact on gut health. Reducing ultra processed foods and unnecessary antibiotic use where appropriate may also help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria.

The challenge is that every gut is unique. What works well for one person may not be the right approach for another. This is where gut health testing can provide valuable insights.

At The Bespoke Clinic, we offer comprehensive gut testing to help us understand what is happening within your digestive system. By analysing the balance of bacteria and identifying potential imbalances, inflammation or other underlying issues, we can create a personalised plan tailored to your needs and health goals.

If you're experiencing ongoing symptoms or simply want to gain a deeper understanding of your health, gut testing could be the first step towards feeling your best. Get in touch or book a FREE discovery call to learn more about how we can help you optimise your health from the inside out...

I can’t quite believe this, but The Bespoke Clinic and I have been shortlisted as a finalist in the North East Business Hero Awards 2026 for both North East Inspirational Businesswoman of the Year and North East Independent Business of the Year.

It’s genuinely lovely to have been nominated, especially knowing how many incredible independent businesses, teams and individuals there are across the North East doing amazing work every single day. To be counted amongst them really does feel like a privilege.

When I started The Bespoke Clinic, my aim was always to create a supportive, evidence-based space where people could feel listened to and helped with concerns that are often overlooked or difficult to talk about. To see the clinic recognised in this way means a great deal.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the clinic, trusted us with their care, recommended us to others, or simply followed along and encouraged what we do. It is hugely appreciated. And thanks to whoever nominated us too 💫

The event is tonight and we look forward to seeing friends and new faces there, and for anyone who’d like to support us, there’s still time to vote…

Going through Menopause and Peri-Menopause can feel overwhelming but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

At The Bespoke Clinic, support is completely tailored to you. From in-depth consultations and hormone testing to personalised treatment plans (including bioidentical HRT if appropriate), everything is designed around your symptoms, your body and your preferences.

But it doesn’t stop there… we’ll look at the bigger picture, such as gut health, nutrition, sleep and well-being, so you feel supported in every way.

At The Bespoke Clinic, we don’t just support women’s health. We also work with many men who are struggling with symptoms that are often ignored, brushed off, or simply accepted as part of getting older.

Low testosterone can affect energy levels, mood, sleep, motivation, strength, concentration and confidence, yet many men spend years feeling unlike themselves before seeking help. Through comprehensive assessment and personalised treatment plans, we support men who may be experiencing symptoms linked to hormonal imbalance and low testosterone.

We also offer the EMSELLA chair, a completely non-invasive treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor. It can help men experiencing continence issues, bladder weakness and symptoms linked to prostate problems, all without surgery or downtime. You remain fully clothed during treatment, making it a discreet and straightforward option for many people.

These are incredibly common issues, but they are not always openly talked about. Our approach is professional, supportive and focused on helping people improve their quality of life without embarrassment or judgement.

If you (or the man in your life) have been putting up with symptoms that are affecting your confidence, comfort or day to day life, it may be time to start the conversation.

Get in touch with us to find out more or book a consultation.

Stress doesn’t just affect how you feel day to day. It has a direct impact on your hormones, particularly cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone.

At The Bespoke Clinic, we look beyond quick fixes. Elevated or dysregulated cortisol levels can be driven by both physical and emotional stress over time, affecting sleep, energy, mood, weight, and overall wellbeing. It’s rarely as simple as “just prescribing HRT” and hoping for the best.

Instead, we take the time to understand the full picture; the pressures your body has been under, the lifestyle factors at play, and how your mind and body are responding. From there, we create a personalised, long-term plan that works for you. Yes, that might include HRT where appropriate, but it could also involve support such as counselling, lifestyle changes, and targeted interventions to help your body rebalance naturally.

Because real, lasting health isn’t about a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s about treating you as an individual.

If this resonates with you, you’re welcome to book a free discovery call to explore what the right approach could look like for you.
