What is the Weight Management in Menopause Screening About?
As women move into perimenopause and menopause, natural hormone changes can shift how the body stores fat, uses energy, and protects heart health. Many women notice weight gain — especially around the waist — or find that weight loss feels much harder than before, even when habits haven’t changed.
This screening is designed to look beneath the surface and understand why this may be happening. It helps identify hormonal and metabolic factors that can make weight management more difficult, many of which are treatable or modifiable. Understanding this helps tailor a more effective and sustainable approach to weight loss.
What the Blood Tests Look At
Hormones: These markers help put hormonal changes into context, showing where you may be in the menopause transition and how shifts in hormones can influence energy, appetite, and body fat. Interpreted together with your symptoms, they offer meaningful insight despite natural fluctuations.
Lipids and cholesterol: Menopause can change cholesterol patterns in ways that increase heart risk. Knowing your levels helps guide both weight and cardiovascular risk management.
Liver Health: The liver plays a key role in metabolism. Conditions like fatty liver can affect how the body handles sugar and fat, making weight loss harder.
Thyroid Function: An under- or over-active thyroid can cause fatigue, weight changes, and low energy. These symptoms are often mistaken for menopause itself.
Insulin & Blood Sugar: Menopause can worsen insulin resistance, even without obvious symptoms. This can drive weight gain and make fat harder to lose.
Inflammation (hsCRP): Low-grade inflammation is linked to weight gain and heart disease. This marker gives insight into your baseline inflammatory health.
Body Composition Scan
This scan goes beyond the number on the weighing scale. It shows how much of your weight comes from fat, muscle, and deeper belly fat (visceral fat around the organs), which has a bigger impact on metabolism and long-term health.
This knowledge enables a more effective and realistic approach to weight loss, rather than relying on guesswork.
You will need to fast (no food and drinks besides plain water) for 8-12h prior to doing these tests.
