Consultant-Led Metabolic Assessment in Central London
The Micronutrient & Metabolic Review at LSDC Healthcare provides a clinically structured, consultant-led evaluation of nutritional and metabolic factors that commonly shift during perimenopause and menopause.
Hormonal change alters insulin sensitivity, body composition, micronutrient utilisation, and energy metabolism, often leading to fatigue, weight gain, and reduced resilience despite unchanged lifestyle habits.
Our service delivers medical clarity, far from generic supplementation advice.
What Is a Micronutrient & Metabolic Review?
This review is a targeted medical assessment of how menopause-related hormonal change affects:
-
Energy metabolism
-
Glucose and insulin regulation
-
Lipid handling
-
Micronutrient absorption and utilisation
-
Muscle mass and body composition
It distinguishes true deficiency or metabolic dysfunction from non-specific symptoms and avoids unnecessary testing or treatment.

FAQ — Micronutrient & Metabolic Review
Do I need supplements during menopause?
Only if a clinically relevant deficiency is identified. Supplementation is not routine.
Can menopause affect metabolism?
Yes. Hormonal changes can reduce insulin sensitivity and alter body composition.
Are routine blood tests enough?
Routine tests may miss subtle deficiencies or metabolic changes relevant to symptoms.
Will this help with weight gain?
Identifying metabolic contributors allows targeted strategies rather than trial-and-error dieting.
Is this covered by private insurance?
This review is usually self-funded, though some tests may be claimable.
How often should testing be repeated?
Repeat testing is guided by findings and response to intervention.
