Menopause Plus

This test evaluates key hormones that change during menopause. It covers adrenal hormones and melatonin to give a complete overview to your hormone imbalances.

What are the symptoms of menopause and hormone changes?

Following menopause, a marked decrease in oestrogen production can result in distinct changes in female physiology. Dramatic reductions in hormone levels or imbalances between oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone can lead to:

  • Hot flushes
  • Poor memory
  • Vaginitis
  • Altered lipid metabolism
  • Accelerated aging of skin

By the time a woman reaches menopause, her total oestrogen production has typically declined by 70-80% and her androgen production by 50%.

Should you do the Menopause Plus Test?

Reduced hormonal levels are associated with increased risk for osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Common symptoms of reduced hormone levels can also affect:

  • Immune regulation
  • Sex drive
  • Mood control
  • Cognition
  • Glycemic control
  • Anxiety and Depression
  • Fatigue
  • Poor memory
  • Loss of libido
  • Muscle weakness and atrophy
  • Headaches/Migraines

This test could identify the root cause of some of the symptoms mentioned above.
