Menopause Consult
The menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, and occurs on average between the ages of 40 and 60 and lasts about 4-10 years. During this transitional phase (perimenopause), the supply of egg cells run out and hormone levels gradually adjust to this. This causes your periods to become irregular and eventually stop altogether. The last menstruation is called the menopause. The menopause is on average around the age of 50. In 80% of women, the (peri)menopause is accompanied by serious complaints. This can even lead to personal (physical) problems, work-related absence and relationship problems. While there are so many options available today to alleviate your complaints! Make the menopause the most beautiful phase of your life. With the (Online) Menopause Consultation you will gain more insight into the influence of your hormones, health and lifestyle on your complaints. Our menopause consultants and gynaecologist will offer you personal tailored made advice/treatments.
(Online) Menopause Consult: €449 (includes 2 consultations, 1 with our menopause consultant and 1 with our gynaecologist, lifestyle questionnaire, blood work, measurements & analysis).
Hormone Check
Hormones are an important part of who we are as women. Under the age of forty, various hormone disruptions can occur. At AAYA, we guide our clients with various questions in this area. The Hormone Check is a balanced combination of blood tests, measurements, lab research and consultations: an intake with our lifestyle doctor and results consultation with our gynaecologist. With this we map your health, lifestyle and hormone levels and offer personalized advice. Everything in our body is ‘connected’. Some complaints are caused by fluctuating hormones, others by lifestyle. In addition, small lifestyle adjustments can often reduce hormonal complaints. We will personally advise you in the areas of nutrition, exercise, stress management, and possibly supplements.
