How many days in a typical week do you experience irritability?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of days indicates you experience irritability than women of all ages, and irritability than women your age.

Irritability is a very common feature of changing hormone levels. Moodiness can ramp up significantly as you enter perimenopause, and is exacerbated by interrupted sleep.

How many days in a typical week do you experience overwhelm, racing thoughts, or worry?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of days indicates you experience overwhelm than women of all ages, and anxiety than women your age.

Overwhelm isn't weakness, it's your nervous system responding to real or perceived threats. During hormonal transitions, anxiety can spike as fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels directly impact neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA that regulate mood and stress response.

How many days in a typical week do you experience sadness or apathy with day-to-day life?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of days indicates you experience sadness than women of all ages, and sadness than women your age.

Hormonal sadness isn't "just the blues"—it's a biological response to fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels that directly impact serotonin production. When hormones drop, so can your mood, energy, and interest in activities you normally enjoy.

How many days in a typical week do you experience low or no energy?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of days indicates you experience energy challenges than women of all ages, and than women your age.

Energy crashes aren't about willpower. Energy results from a complex system in the body that includes rest, minerals that help metabolize calories, exercise, and hormones. Notably, estrogen supports mitochondrial function (your cellular powerhouses), while progesterone affects sleep quality. When these fluctuate, your energy naturally follows suit.

How many days in a typical week do you experience brain-fog or difficulty with focus?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of days indicates you experience brain fog than women of all ages, and than women your age.

Brain fog can be incredibly frustrating. And, while everyone can be forgetful, dulled mental acuity is often related to changing hormones. Estrogen directly supports cognitive function, memory formation, and neurotransmitter production. When estrogen fluctuates, your brain literally doesn't have the same biochemical support for clear thinking.

How many days in a typical week do you experience sore muscles?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of days indicates you experience muscle soreness than women of all ages, and than women your age.

Muscle soreness isn't always about your last workout. Estrogen has anti-inflammatory properties and supports muscle recovery, while magnesium is essential for muscle function. Hormonal changes can leave muscles more prone to tension and slower to recover.

How many days in a typical week do you experience bloating?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of days indicates you experience bloating than women of all ages, and than women your age.

Digestive issues are often tied to hormonal cycles. Progesterone slows digestion and causes water retention, while estrogen affects gut bacteria composition. These hormonal shifts can make bloating, irregular bowel movements, and indigestion common monthly experiences.

How many days in a typical week do you experience changes in bowel movements (loose, hard, or inconsistent)?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of days indicates you experience digestive irregularity than women of all ages, and than women your age. See your answer to the question on bloating from above for more on digestion.

How many days in a typical week do you experience indigestion or gas?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of days indicates you experience indigestion than women of all ages, and than women your age. See your answer to the question on bloating from above for more on digestion.

When it comes to your sleep, how many nights in a typical week do you sleep uninterrupted for 6+ hour?

Key Insights and Implications

Your response of nights indicates you get restful sleep than women of all ages, and than women your age.

Sleep is foundational to overall health. When you're not getting consistent, restful sleep, other symptoms like irritability, stress, and low energy often intensify—creating a cycle that can feel impossible to break.

How many times per week do you do low intensity cardio? (e.g., Walking, etc.)

Key Insights and Implications

Your times per week of low-intensity cardio indicates you do exercise than women of all ages, and than women your age.

Low-intensity movement like walking is incredibly beneficial for hormonal health—it supports circulation, reduces cortisol levels, and helps maintain insulin sensitivity without adding stress to your system. Note that doing some low-intensity movement is critical, but if you couple it with higher-intensity training, you may be closer to the right blend of exercise.

How many times per week do you do high intensity cardio?(e.g., running, HIIT, Hyrox, etc.)

Key Insights and Implications

Your times per week of high-intensity cardio indicates you do intense exercise than women of all ages, and than women your age.

High-intensity exercise can be very beneficial for longevity, particularly when paired with strength training. During certain times of your menstrual cycle, or in volatile hormonal periods such as perimenopause, high intensity training can take more energy than the body is able to support naturally, elevating cortisol levels, especially when sleep or nutrition are compromised. This can be mitigated by targeted nutrition and supplementation.

How many times per week do you do strength training?

Key Insights and Implications

Your times per week of strength training indicates you do resistance exercise than women of all ages, and than women your age.

Strength training is particularly important for women as it supports bone density, muscle mass, and metabolic health—all of which are directly influenced by hormones and become increasingly important during hormonal transitions.

How many times per week do you do Yoga or Pilates?

Key Insights and Implications

Your times per week of yoga/Pilates indicates you do mind-body exercise than women of all ages, and than women your age.

Yoga and Pilates offer unique benefits for hormonal health by combining movement with stress reduction. These practices support flexibility, core strength, and nervous system regulation—all particularly beneficial during hormonal transitions.
