Why Not Just See My GP?

GP services are essential for diagnosing illness. However:

  • Routine full health screening isn’t always available

  • Advanced hormone or performance panels are rarely offered

  • Appointment wait times can be long

Our service is ideal for:

  • Preventative health monitoring

  • Performance optimisation

  • Hormone assessment

  • Reassurance and clarity

It complements — not replaces — your GP care

Do I Need to Fast?

Some tests (cholesterol, glucose, insulin) may require fasting for 8–12 hours. If required:

  • Drink water only

  • Avoid tea, coffee and supplements

  • Continue prescribed medication unless advised otherwise

We’ll confirm when you book.

FAQs

A targeted blood test designed to help confirm whether you are in menopause by analysing key hormone levels. It also checks for thyroid function to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.

This profile includes 5 key biomarkers:

Oestradiol (E2)

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Luteinising Hormone (LH)

Testosterone

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

While symptoms can strongly suggest menopause, a blood test provides clear confirmation. It also helps identify whether symptoms may be caused by something else, such as a thyroid imbalance.

This test can help investigate symptoms commonly associated with menopause, including:

Hot flushes and night sweats

Mood changes, anxiety, or low mood

Brain fog and memory issues

Sleep disturbances

Fatigue and irritability

Reduced sex drive

Vaginal dryness or discomfort

Irregular periods

Low oestradiol is a key sign of menopause

High FSH and LH indicate reduced ovarian function

Testosterone contributes to energy and libido

TSH helps rule out thyroid conditions that can mimic menopause symptoms

For best results:

Fast for 8–12 hours before your appointment (water is allowed)

Stay well hydrated

Avoid alcohol and heavy exercise before testing

If you are still having periods, timing of the test may be advised

A phlebotomy blood sample is required and is taken by trained professionals at our branch or one of our partner clinic locations. We do not offer home testing.

Results are typically available within a few days and are provided in a clear, easy-to-understand report.

If your results confirm menopause or show hormonal imbalance, you can take the next steps — including discussing treatment options such as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or lifestyle changes with a healthcare professional.

This test provides strong clinical insight but should be used alongside symptoms and medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment guidance.
