Strength & Body Composition

Muscle is your metabolic reserve, your balance and your independence. Build the case for it.

Strength might mean the weights you lift. It might mean the walking holiday you are planning, or staying engaged with the activities you love.

Muscle tends to decline with age unless it is given a reason not to, and the hormonal changes of menopause affect muscle and bone too. Your practitioner reviews your activity, protein intake, recovery and health history, then looks at what warrants assessment and how clinical care can support the strength you want to keep.

What we look at

Strength and movement goals
Muscle and body composition
Bone health and risk factors
Training and recovery patterns
Nutrition and protein intake
Changes through perimenopause and beyond
Coordination with your existing care team

(The biomarkers)

The data behind the decisions.

Numbers mean more with context, so your history, symptoms and routines come first. Below are examples of what your practitioner may review for this area, where relevant to you. There is no one-size panel: every test has to earn its place, and you hear why before anything is ordered.
