How the Mira Monitor Can Help You Understand Your Hormone Chaos
Experiencing fatigue, bloating, or mood swings despite normal blood tests? The Mira monitor tracks key hormones—LH, E3G, PdG, and FSH—through daily urine samples, revealing patterns like estrogen dominance or low progesterone. This data helps pinpoint ovulatory cycles and hormonal imbalances, offering clarity during perimenopause. At Sirona Health, we interpret your Mira results in the context of your symptoms, guiding decisions on HRT, supplements, and lifestyle interventions.
Why Perimenopause Feels So Confusing and What You Can Do About It
Are your periods suddenly unpredictable? Mood swings or brain fog creeping in? You’re not imagining it—and you’re not alone. Perimenopause is a hormonal rollercoaster, with fluctuating cycles, sleep issues, anxiety, fatigue, and weight changes—yet a single blood test often misses the bigger picture. At Sirona Health, we use the Mira hormone monitor to track estrogen, LH, FSH, and progesterone levels over time. That way, we can decode how your hormones relate to your symptoms and tailor personalised advice—so you stop guessing and start understanding what’s happening in your body.
Navigating the Decision to Stop HRT: What We Know — and What We Still Don’t
Thinking about stopping HRT? At Sirona Health, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. While HRT offers relief from symptoms like hot flushes and brain fog, the decision to stop depends on your age, symptom severity, and health risks. And with up to 40% of women experiencing a return of symptoms—some restarting HRT later—making the timing and method right is key. Learn what current guidelines say, why research gaps remain, and how we can support you in making a confident, personalised choice.
Feeling Constantly Tired? Let’s Talk About Fatigue
Fatigue is a common yet often overlooked symptom among women, particularly in their 40s and 50s. It's more than just feeling tired—it's a persistent, overwhelming exhaustion that isn't relieved by sleep. This chronic fatigue can significantly impact daily life and may be linked to various factors such as hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, iron deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, psychological stress, sleep disorders, and nutritional deficiencies. Understanding the underlying causes is crucial for effective management and treatment. Explore how addressing these factors can help restore your energy and well-being.
Progesterone for perimenopausal symptoms
Progesterone plays a crucial role in managing perimenopausal symptoms by balancing estrogen levels and supporting overall hormonal harmony. It helps regulate menstrual cycles, alleviate mood swings, and reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia. Incorporating natural progesterone, such as micronized progesterone, can be an effective strategy for women seeking to manage perimenopausal symptoms without synthetic hormones. Consulting with a healthcare provider is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
