Investigated, Then Supported
Menopause & Perimenopause
Not a single event but a transition. Oestrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone shift in ways that affect almost every system in the body.
Your Concerns
What Is It?
Perimenopause and menopause are not single events but a transition — often beginning in the late 30s or early 40s and continuing into the 50s — during which oestrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone shift in ways that affect almost every system in the body. Hot flushes are the symptom most patients associate with menopause; sleep, mood, weight, skin, joints, and energy are often more clinically interesting. At 23MD Longevity, perimenopausal change is investigated holistically — by Dr Martin Galy — before any treatment is recommended.

Common Causes
What Could Be Causing It

Progesterone Decline
Affects sleep, anxiety, mood regulation, cycle changes.
Testosterone Decline
Affects libido, energy, muscle, motivation — relevant in women too, not only men.
Thyroid Interaction
Perimenopausal shifts often unmask subclinical thyroid imbalance.
Cortisol Patterns
Sleep disruption and life-stage stress amplify the picture.
