What lab test do I need?


You probably find yourself asking "What tests do I need? Am I in perimenopause? Is my thyroid working normal? Is it time for HRT?"

You know there is something deeper going on but unsure what that is exactly?

You want to live your life full of energy with a brain that works and a body that functions.

You are frustrated, overwhelmed and burnt out from it all.

We bet you have done the following to feel better?

✅ Tried different supplements and diets hoping one of them will work

✅ Worked with your doctor using traditional lab work. Only to be told your labs are 'normal'. When you know something else is going on.

✅ Spent hours googling answers to your perimenopause symptoms

You know your body is transitioning and you need answers based on data.

Enter the chat Menopause Lab Panel!

We use comprehensive menopause labs, mineral testing and iodine testing to assess your peri to post menopausal symptoms to craft a tailored treatment plan.

Let us take the investigative work off your plate. You have more important things to do.

We have created this panel based on research, successfully helping 150+ women and using a macro level view to evaluate changes in the body.

We want to know:

1️⃣ Source: Uncover your source of inflammation, thyroid issues, and metabolic health: We use this data to identify what is keeping you stuck.

2️⃣ Strategy: Utilizing all three tests provide us a comprehensive view of your internal health landscape.

3️⃣ Action: Understanding these complex interactions allow us to take action and provide a clear attainable path to improving your symptoms and challenges.

What sets our Menopause Lab panel apart?
➡️ We don't settle for the ordinary and neither should you. These are not copy and paste lab panels where we tell you to 'eat better and exercise more'.

➡️ It includes specific menopause labs, iodine testing and HTMA. These tests are crucial and are often overlooked. Adequate iodine is essential to thyroid health, breast health and much more.

➡️ We compare your blood work, your mineral status, your iodine levels and combine this all together to build your plan. We don't use outdated testing and ranges.

How does this all apply to you?

✅Via blood work we can see that your body is making enough thyroid hormone but based on your mineral test - we can see it isn't getting into the cells. It helps us understand why you feel depressed, fatigued and gaining weight.

✅If you have fibroids or fibrocystic breasts than iodine levels need to be addressed. This helps address breast health and of course thyroid health.

✅ Weight loss resistance can be occurring for many reasons. Based on your blood work we can see if your insulin levels are high and compare this to your HTMA test. We often see high calcium and high fasting insulin and this puts you in a weight loss resistance pattern.

Let’s get started, shall we?
