Stay Safe - Stay HOME!

Our office will be closed over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

Dena will be back for you from the 27th of May.

Welcome to our practice!

Are you here because you want your ENERGY back, are fed up being TIRED, just can't get the WEIGHT down?

Do you want to get FUN back into your life, get your INDEPENDENCE back?

We deal with nearly everything related to THYROID health, create a BESPOKE treatment plan, and use - if needed - medication that works for you, including NDT and T3.

What WE do is different ... we investigate and address the REASONS why you have your symptoms and aim to solve the CAUSES of the problems, not just "covering up" your symptoms.

We use a holistic approach with a combination of lifestyle adjustments, nutritional medicine, supplements and prescription medicine. We have also the support of affiliated practitioners.

You don't need to travel to us, either. With our TELEMEDICINE practice we serve patients all over the UK
and as far as Jordan, Sudan and Zambia.

All our services including tests and supplements are for registered patients only.

We have teamed up with medichecks for our Thyroid clients in the UK.

What patients say about us:

Treating Causes instead of Symptoms

Having someone medically trained to work with and point me in the right direction has been a huge relief as finally, I feel that the cause of my health issues are being looked at not just the symptoms being medicated.

J.H.

Rapid Results

Since starting the elimination diet and now cutting out any remaining foods on the ‘do not eat’ list I’ve noticed that my body is rapidly changing shape. … I never knew it’d be so easy to get such rapid results.

J.H.

It was like a Miracle

Talking to Dr. Frey and discovering that at last I had found a doctor who understood my problem was like a Miracle.
I loved his analogy of the oarsmen in a slave galley, paddling to the beat of a drum but not putting the oars fully into the water. Just 2 days after taking his new prescription which included some T3 I was feeling a new person. The best testimonial I can think of is backed up by the 2 photos of myself, (to follow by post) …one taken when I was feeling quite ill, and the other after only 4 days on the new prescription.
It is not an exaggeration to say that, after months of getting nowhere with the medical profession in Dorset, I at last found my salvation in the CountryHealth Practice and heartily wish that conventional medicine would listen to the experts who have made an in -depth study of thyroid problems.

First proper consultation

This was the first proper consultation I have ever had!

Mr. J.W, 80y

Insightful

Thank you for seeing me yesterday afternoon. I found it very insightful and your observations have confirmed something I had been wondering about for some time.

K.I

Positive Progress!

After a few months under the guidance of this practice my health has improved dramatically. Best of all my energy is back, a more positive outlook and I now have full confidence in an approach which is contemporary and investigative. If you’re still having hypothyroid symptoms and are ‘stuck’ on Levothyroxine T4, despite your numbers all ‘in range’, give this specialist clinic a go.

Robert

Dena is amazing.

The heart of any good practise lies in the person with whom patients have their first and often the most contact – Dena is the most incredible person, she always goes above and beyond to help and has done her utmost on numerous occasions to sort things out for me when pharmacies have made life difficult! She is always calm, understanding and is quite simply an amazing asset to CountryHealth – reassuring and efficient, she is a complete joy. Thank you so much Dena for all your help and support – you are a superstar.

Definitely more Healthy and Alive: ImuPro 300

Great service; superb. It is important to note that IgE tests for allergies – this test, IgG, is more for intolerances. I used it as I believed it could be a useful pointer for experimenting with possibly beneficial dietary changes. I have now stopped eating dairy and some other foods, and am definitely feeling more healthy and alive. Many thanks!

A.S.

Improved overall Health

I went to see Dr. Frey with several undiagnosed problems, these were primarily issues regarding my digestion and fatigue. Following Dr Frey’s advice, I eliminated gluten and dairy products from my diet and I noticed an improvement in my overall health. I was really pleased with the service I received as it was caring, detailed and had a refreshing outlook on health compared to other doctors I had previously seen.

Will

Amazing!

I am so glad to have found Country Health, from the very first chat to being two weeks into a new care plan it has been an excellent experience! Being listened to and understood regarding my diagnosis is not something that I got from my NHS doctor but Dr Frey was brilliant at explaining clearly what my options were. I have been taking my new medication for two weeks now and I feel like a different person! Plus there is always someone there at the end of the phone or by email should I need them, patient care at its finest! Thank you so much!

This appointment has proved life-changing…

Following an appointment with Dr Frey in September 2018, and the results of the blood tests a couple of weeks later,
I followed all the advice given and also changed my supplements to those advised. For two weeks I had flu-like symptoms and felt very down, but, as I was desperate to change my low thyroid symptoms, I stuck with it. After three weeks I felt so much better; ‘brain fog’ lessened, gut problems (IBS) easing and generally feeling more well. I found a ‘tapping’ instructor on YouTube that I felt comfortable with and have followed this method of stress relief along with the meditation I was already doing morning and night.
It is now three months since my visit. Although the personal problems in my life persist, I am better able to cope with the stress, I sleep better and awake refreshed (something I hadn’t done for years), I can think and speak fluently and my memory has improved. And, by following a strict Paleo diet and cutting out the foods the blood test showed I had reactions to, I’ve lost 1.5 stone. I am not dieting in the conventional sense; I can eat as much as I like of the allowed foods. This has been the icing on the cake as I piled on 5 stone in the ten years since my under-active thyroid was diagnosed, despite being on levothyroxine that I had been assured would be all I needed to return to my normal self. I had tried many other diets in that time, with no weight loss.
Although I was initially anxious about the cost (hello, credit card!) I can honestly say it’s the best money I’ve ever spent as the consultation (and support from Dena) and following the plan has truly changed my life. Thank you!

Shortage of Nature Throid Tablets

Please check the link below to find out current availability and prices.

We are happy to switch you to an alternative natural desiccated product and are very sorry for any inconvenience.

CHECK AVAILABILITY and PRICES

Many patients suffer for years with symptoms of an underactive thyroid but have been told that "everything is normal". There is no one perfect way, no one symptom nor test result, that will properly diagnose low thyroid function or hypothyroidism. The key is to look at the whole picture – your symptoms and your blood tests – and then decide.

Most doctors just check something called thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and sometimes your free T4 level, which doesn’t give a full picture of the thyroid. In fact, even the interpretation of this test is incorrect most of the time.

The key is the right testing to confirm that a sluggish thyroid is contributing to a stalled metabolism and other problems. Once you know this for sure there are many ways to help correct thyroid problems.

Our patients come from all of England, Scotland and Wales - and even as far as JORDAN, SUDAN and ZAMBIA.

Unfortunately, we cannot register patients from the USA.

Functional Medicine takes a new approach. We want to find out WHY you are feeling tired and whether there are any triggers we can remove to help you get better.

We can look deeper, using extensive laboratory tests which are often not available in the NHS. Some tests travel to Germany or the US to specialist laboratories.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide A&E, maternity, minor surgery or detox services.
We do not stock or prescribe controlled drugs.
Please contact your NHS practice for further advice, or call 111.
