Perimenopause Test Results

Perimenopause is more than shifting hormones - it’s a full-body recalibration that affects metabolism, mood, brain health, immunity, detoxification, and even emotions. A bioenergetic scan reveals which stressors are resonating most strongly for your body at this moment. These aren’t diagnoses, but patterns of stress, helping you connect the dots between how you might feel and root imbalances.

Below, your results are grouped into categories with your highest priorities in relation to the perimenopause phase of life.

You tested with an imbalance in:  Estrone (E1)

 → What it is: One of the three estrogens (E1, E2, E3). Estrone is weaker than estradiol but becomes the dominant estrogen in perimenopause.

 → Estrone dominance suggests sluggish detox, where estrogen isn’t being broken down and cleared efficiently. This can lead to “estrogen dominance” symptoms despite overall declining estrogen. Heavy cycles, mood swings, sore breasts, and weight gain are common here. The body may also favor harmful estrogen metabolites (like 4-OH) that increase inflammation and DNA stress.

 → Lifestyle hacks: Cruciferous vegetables provide sulforaphane and DIM, which support healthy estrogen metabolism. Flax seeds help bind and excrete excess estrogen. Daily exercise and sweating help clear metabolites through the liver and skin.

You tested with an imbalance in: IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1)

 → What it is: A hormone similar to insulin, produced in the liver under growth hormone stimulation. It regulates repair, muscle mass, tissue growth, and resilience.

 → Declining IGF-1 suggests slowed repair and recovery, which naturally occurs in perimenopause but can be worsened by poor sleep, under-eating protein, or high stress. If you’ve noticed slower workout recovery, increased stiffness, or looser skin, IGF-1 imbalance is often part of the story. It also links to brain health and cognition, since IGF-1 promotes neuroplasticity.

 → Lifestyle hacks: Aim for 20–30g protein per meal to trigger IGF-1 pathways. Incorporate resistance exercise to stimulate growth hormone release. Prioritize deep sleep, since growth hormone surges at night.

You tested with an imbalance in: Your Liver

 → What it is: The body’s main detox organ, responsible for processing estrogen, toxins, alcohol, and environmental exposures.

 → Stress here means the liver is overburdened, especially with estrogen metabolites during perimenopause. If phase I detox is faster than phase II, toxins may recirculate. Symptoms could include night sweats, irritability, PMS worsening, chemical sensitivity, and sluggish weight loss.

 → Lifestyle hacks: Cruciferous vegetables boost both phases of detox. Hydrate well to support bile and toxin clearance. Minimize alcohol, which competes for detox capacity. Add bitters (dandelion, arugula) to stimulate bile flow.

You tested with an imbalance in: Sodium Butyrate

 → What it is: A short-chain fatty acid made by gut bacteria when you eat fiber. It fuels colon cells, reduces inflammation, and supports estrogen clearance.

 → Low butyrate production or utilization suggests gut dysbiosis, which impacts mood, detox, and hormone regulation. Low butyrate = higher risk of leaky gut, brain fog, inflammation, and poor estrogen metabolism. It also connects to mood issues, since butyrate influences serotonin and GABA production.

 → Lifestyle hacks: Eat 30–40g of fiber daily from beans, oats, veggies, and seeds. Add fermented foods (sauerkraut, kefir) to restore gut flora. Consider targeted prebiotics like resistant starch.

You tested with resonance to: Centaury

 → What it is: Bach flower essence for boundaries.

 → Shows patterns of over-giving and lack of self-assertion. This often appears when one put others’ needs first and neglect self-care, worsening perimenopausal stress.

 → Lifestyle hacks: Practice saying “no,” schedule daily self-care, energy boundaries.

Client Summary & Next Steps

Your scan shows a web of connections: estrone stressing metabolism, liver and gut pathways carrying extra detox load, and emotional themes of exhaustion and adaptability surfacing. Together, these create the unique landscape of your resonating perimenopause journey. To support balance: 

1. Begin your custom-tested regimen - the remedies below are personalized to target the exact imbalances your body resonates with. This includes a personalized formula that is blended with each signature you resonated with above. 

2. Consider layering in the lifestyle hacks from each section. These amplify the effect of your remedies and build resilience.

3. Test again in 30–60 days. This allows you to track your progress, adjust your regimen, and keep your body in sync through ongoing change.

By following this rhythm:  scan, support, retest - the goal is to stay aligned with your body and move through perimenopause with more clarity, strength, and balance.
