At I-Thrive, we help women understand, track, and take control of their changing bodies through the menopausal transition. Our Thriving Through Menopause program blends advanced diagnostic testing, personalised insights, and expert coaching to help you feel strong, supported, and resilient — physically, emotionally, and metabolically.
Why Menopause Matters to Your Long-Term Health
Perimenopause and menopause bring more than hot flushes — they affect your:
-
Hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)
-
Bone density
-
Body composition
-
Cardiometabolic health
-
Mental clarity & sleep
-
Muscle mass and metabolism
At I-Thrive, we don’t guess. We test, track, and coach — so you can thrive through menopause and beyond.
Typical Changes We Measure & Support
We combine objective data with personalised support to help you understand what’s happening and what you can do about it.| Metric | Menopausal Impact | Health Implications |
|---|---|---|
| Visceral Fat | ↑ Increases with estrogen loss | ↑ Risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease |
| Android:Gynoid Ratio | ↑ Shifts toward central “apple” shape | ↑ Abdominal obesity, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction |
| Lean Muscle Mass | ↓ Declines, raising risk of sarcopenia | ↓ Strength & mobility, ↑ falls & frailty, ↓ resting energy expenditure |
| Bone Density | ↓ Decreases, especially postmenopause | ↑ Osteopenia & osteoporosis risk, ↑ fracture risk |
| Resting Metabolic Rate | ↓ Slows due to hormone & muscle loss | ↑ Fat gain, harder to maintain energy balance, ↓ metabolic flexibility |
| HRV (Heart Rate Variability) | ↓ Lower stress resilience, poor sleep | ↑ Anxiety, reduced recovery, cardiovascular strain, ↓ autonomic balance |
| VO₂ Max | ↓ Cardiorespiratory capacity declines | ↓ Stamina, ↓ fitness, ↑ cardiovascular risk, reduced functional reserve |

Translating Insight: From Metrics to Meaningful Action
At I-Thrive, we don’t stop at data. Our custom reporting process goes beyond charts and numbers to give you insight that’s grounded in science—and relevant to you. Rather than ranking you on a leaderboard or comparing you to the average person, we translate your personal results into meaningful health intelligence.
Your scan and test results are interpreted using data from hundreds of thousands of assessments and leading epidemiological research, including sources such as the World Health Organization (WHO), Public Health England, UK Biobank, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
Most importantly, our experienced team of clinicians and coaches will work with you to ensure these insights are applied in a way that supports your personal goals—whether you’re aiming to reduce risk, boost energy, improve body composition, or optimise long-term performance.
