Testing can take you from guessing to clarity. This page includes the labs and at home tests I recommend most often to help identify root causes behind fatigue, inflammation, stubborn weight changes, and gut symptoms during the menopause transition. These are educational recommendations, not medical advice. Always review results and next steps with your healthcare provider.
Function Health is a proactive lab testing membership that gives you a much deeper look at your health than a standard annual physical. For $365 per year, you get 160 plus labs split into an initial comprehensive panel and a mid year follow up so you can track progress over time. Results come with clinician written insights and action steps, and testing is done through Quest Diagnostics with blood draws available at 2,000 plus locations across most U.S. states.
Viome offers several at home tests, but the one I recommend most is the Gut Intelligence Test. It is designed to give you a clearer picture of your gut health and what may be contributing to symptoms like bloating, irregular digestion, inflammation, and low energy. You collect your sample at home, send it in, and receive a personalized report with insights plus food and supplement recommendations based on your results.
