Perimenopause symptoms like brain fog, sleep issues and unexpected weight gain can leave women feeling like they’re unraveling at the seams. Pair that with an unsupportive medical community and a perpetual onslaught of misinformation, and it’s no wonder women are wary of who and what to trust. Ready for the real story?
For decades, the healthcare industry has failed women when it comes to menopause. This is not surprising, given that only *7% of new family medicine and gynecology physicians feel adequately prepared to treat menopausal patients.
This lack of preparation has led to a number of problems, including the careless spread of inaccurate data about treatment options. This misinformation has left many women suffering unnecessarily, particularly due to the widespread dissemination of the deeply flawed and invalidated 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) clinical trial, which led to years of unfounded uncertainty about the safety of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Fortunately, the tide is turning. Women are finally being heard, and more conversations about menopause are happening. As we continue moving towards a world where women are supported and informed throughout this important life stage, Wellcore is here to offer the answers you're searching for.
Female sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone have the biggest impact on female health during major milestones like menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause, but you are more than those two hormones.
A wide range of hormones are responsible for your overall health and well-being, including your energy level, weight, mood, sleep patterns, mental health, and more.
Hormone optimization with Wellcore Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is essential to identify the subtle shifts in your hormones and restore balance to live a fulfilled life.
The Wellcore Hormone Optimization Program is built around your body’s unique data and health goals. We focus on the full lab analysis to test organ function, determine baseline values of hormones, and identify barriers to optimal health. Ongoing testing also ensures your program is tailored to your body’s changing needs for both efficacy and safety. We don’t throw caution to the wind.
Triglycerides are a type of fat in the bloodstream that contributes to heart disease. With cholesterol, triglyceride testing offers a full indication of the risk of coronary artery disease.
Though it's thought of as a male hormone, tes tosterone is present in women in lower levels. It's produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands, fat cells, and skin cells and affects estrogen production. Testing total testosterone in women can reveal high or low levels.
Estradiol is the most potent estrogen in the body and affects menstrual cycles. Estradiol levels can indicate how the ovaries are working and offer indicators of menstrual problems or issues with reproductive organs.
The albumin test measures the amount of albumin in your blood, which is circulated into the bloodstream to transport hormones, vitamins, and enzymes into the body's tissues.
Sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein made in the liver that binds to sex hormones in the blood, such as estrogen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and testosterone. It's present in both sexes but higher in women and influences bone strength, ovarian function, and cognitive
Alanine transaminase (ALT) is an enzyme found in the liver. It’s part of a full liver panel with AST, ALP, and bilirubin to evaluate liver health.
Total cholesterol and HDL as a ratio are part of the full picture of cholesterol and cardiovascular health.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an overall index of kidney function. eGFR is a range that varies by many factors, but it can indicate kidney health and function.
Free testosterone is part of evaluating the overall testosterone values in women and how they impact symptoms. There are three testosterone types that factor into total testosterone, two of which bind to albumin and globulin in the blood. Free testosterone is bioavailable testosterone that the body can use more readily.
Produced by the body’s cells, cystatin C indicates kidney health and function. Optimal cystatin C levels indicate healthy kidneys, while high levels could indicate a kidney problem.
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) is a male sex hormone that’s found in both men and women. It’s produced by the adrenal glands and converted to other hormones. In women, DHEA-S contributes to normal libido and sexual satisfaction.-S
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) works closely with LH in sexual development and function. It fluctuates throughout the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of eggs in the ovaries.
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or “good” cholesterol, is part of total cholesterol. It removes bad cholesterol from the arteries.
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, or “bad” cholesterol, is part of total cholesterol and responsible for cholesterol buildup in the arteries.
The LDL/HDL ratio indicates the levels of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol. Lower ratios indicate healthier cholesterol levels.
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It’s important for sexual development and controls the menstrual cycle and ovulation in women, as well as the production of estrogen.
Progesterone
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is produced in the prostate and found in the blood in women. The PSA test detects high levels of PSA that may indicate ovarian problems like polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein made in the liver that binds to sex hormones in the blood, such as estrogen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and testosterone. It’s present in both sexes but higher in women and influences bone strength, ovarian function, and cognitive processes.
The total cholesterol test measures the LDL to HDL cholesterol levels to evaluate risk for coronary artery disease. Cholesterol
Though it’s thought of as a male hormone, testosterone is present in women in lower levels. It’s produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands, fat cells, and skin cells and affects estrogen production. Testing total testosterone in women can reveal high or low levels.
Triglycerides are a type of fat in the bloodstream that contributes to heart disease. With cholesterol, triglyceride testing offers a full indication of the risk of coronary artery disease.
The thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). This is part of the thyroid function test to identify thyroid conditions.
Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol is another “bad” cholesterol that’s produced in the liver and released into the bloodstream to supply the bloodstream with triglycerides.
Restore estrogen levels to maintain bone health and avoid life-limiting fractures and osteoporosis..
Balance reproductive hormones to rediscover your sex drive and correct issues like vaginal dryness.
Alleviate the symptoms of depression and uncomfortable mood swings for better emotional health.
Correct the hormonal component of weight gain to support a healthy diet and exercise program.
