| Step | What happens | Why we do it |
|---|
| 01) Week 0–1: Your starting point | InBody body composition assessment | We establish a baseline for muscle and body fat important areas to understand and protect as the body changes after menopause. |
| 02) Week 0–1: Initial medical consultation | Functional/Lifestyle Medicine consultation | We look at your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, medications and goals to understand what has changed and where we need to investigate further. |
| 03) Week 0–1: Women’s health assessment | Gynaecology consultation including Pap smear + ultrasound | A dedicated assessment of your gynaecological health to ensure important postmenopausal changes are properly evaluated. |
| 04) Week 0–1: Comprehensive blood assessment | 30+ markers across key areas of health | We assess hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, thyroid, inflammatory and nutritional health to understand the factors that may influence how you feel now and your health longer term. |
| 05) Week 1–2: Bone health assessment | DEXA bone density scan | Bone density can decline more rapidly after menopause. DEXA helps us understand your current bone health and identify areas that may need attention. |
| 06) Week 2–3: Your complete results review | Doctor consultation bringing all your results together | Rather than looking at each test separately, your doctor connects the findings from your bloods, body composition, gynaecology assessment and DEXA to understand your overall health picture. |
| 07) Week 2–3: Your personalised health plan | A strategy built around your results, priorities and goals | You leave with clear next steps focused on the areas that matter most for you from hormones and metabolic health to bone, muscle, cardiovascular health and lifestyle. Where appropriate, your doctor may also discuss HRT, supplementation or other medical options. |
| 08) Week 8–9: Reassessment & optimisation | Progress review and clinical reassessment | We look at how you are feeling, what has changed and how you have responded to the plan. Your doctor then refines the strategy and gives you clear recommendations for maintaining your health longer term. |
