ADVICE

Test Beyond Standard Hormone Panels

  • Run adrenal/cortisol testing across the day to check inverted cortisol patterns common in perimenopause.
  • Also test thyroid (free T3/T4, TPO), vitamin D, A1C/insulin and a minerals & metals panel to find electrolyte imbalances.
INSIGHT

Electrolytes Can Drive Palpitations

  • Electrolyte imbalances (e.g., calcium-magnesium or sodium-magnesium) can drive palpitations in perimenopause.
  • Women often need more magnesium as they enter perimenopause and sodium shouldn't be overused.
ADVICE

Be Cautious With Deep Heating Treatments

  • Avoid deep radiofrequency heating that targets deep collagen and adipose because it can damage the collagen matrix long-term.
  • Consider PRP microneedling, laser resurfacing by experienced clinicians, and support healing with zinc, vitamin D, omega-3s and a quality multivitamin.
