Female hormone balance
Female hormone balance. The cycle as a metabolic readout.
The menstrual cycle is one of the most information-dense readouts in medicine. Irregular cycles, heavy periods, PMS severity, perimenopausal symptoms, and post-menopausal changes all carry metabolic data that standard care rarely reads.
Oestrogen dominance connects to impaired liver detoxification. Progesterone deficiency connects to chronic stress and insulin resistance. Thyroid dysfunction mimics and amplifies hormonal imbalance. The gut microbiome regulates oestrogen recirculation through the estrobolome.
We read the cycle as a window into the metabolic spectrum, not as a standalone hormonal complaint. The framework addresses the metabolic environment that the hormones are responding to.
The spectrum does not wait for a diagnosis.
If you recognise yourself in any of these conditions, or in the spaces between them, the Metabolic Questionnaire is a good starting point. It is not a diagnosis. It is a structured way to map your symptoms and history so that the right conversation can follow.
