Menopause isn’t just a phase.

Women deserve better; better research, better answers.

During menopause, strength training helps protect bone density, maintain muscle mass, and support your metabolism.

Whether you’re perimenopausal or post-menopausal, it’s never too late to start lifting - your future self will thank you.

This , we remember that awareness isn’t just a campaign.

It’s a lifeline; for patients, family and friends.

Breast cancer can touch anyone.

Knowing the signs can make all the difference:
🌸 A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
🌸 Changes in size, shape, or texture
🌸 Pain, redness, or swelling
🌸 Discharge or changes in the ni**le

If something doesn’t feel right - listen to your body and speak with your doctor.

IGF-1: The Growth Factor that says a lot about your health

Too high? Too low? Your IGF-1 levels can be shaped by everything from diet to stress to genetics.

We’re here to turn complex health markers into clear, actionable insights.

Missing your period isn’t something to ignore.

A regular menstrual cycle is a key sign of hormonal balance and overall health. From gut clearance to HPO axis function, nutritional status to stress management, your cycle highlights your internal health.

Unless you’re perimenopausal, menopausal, post-menopausal or using certain medications such as contraceptives, absence of a bleed is not ‘normal’

Your body’s rhythms tell a story.

Don’t silence it - listen, test, and let us help you understand it.

Sleep is more than rest - it’s a health foundation.

New research is showing that poor sleep doesn’t just leave you tired - it can actually weaken your bones over time.

For athletes, disrupted sleep may affect how your bones recover and adapt.

For older adults, it could increase the risk of bone loss and fractures.

Your health foundation starts with sleep.

September is - and we are highlighting an often-missed player in PCOS: your gut microbiome.

Did you know that women with PCOS often have imbalances in their gut bacteria?

This ‘dysbiosis’ can contribute to: - Insulin resistance - Hormonal imbalances - Inflammation - Worsening metabolic symptoms

Emerging research shows that gut health impacts everything from hormone regulation to immune function — and restoring balance may help reduce PCOS symptoms.

Supporting your gut may mean supporting your hormones.
 Testing markers like insulin, inflammation, s*x hormones, and your gut microbiome can guide targeted strategies.

Let’s shift the focus from hormone only to whole-body health in PCOS - starting with the gut.

Biomarker Breakdown: Progesterone

In females, progesterone:

Has a major role in the menstrual cycle:
- After ovulation, the corpus luteum makes progesterone.
- Prepares the endometrium (lining of uterus) to accept a fertilised egg.
- If no pregnancy occurs, levels drop, and period starts

In Pregnancy:
- Helps maintain uterine lining
- Maintains the body’s immune response

In Males, progesterone:

Acts as a hormone pre-cursor:
-Progesterone is a building block for making testosterone, cortisol, and other steroids.
-Without it, the whole steroid hormone pathway breaks down.

Has beneficial nervous system effects:
-Acts as a Neurosteroid (meaning a hormone that acts directly in the brain and nervous system)
-May affect mood, memory, sleep, and brain protection.
-On-going research for prostate health benefits.

There are many factors that can cause decreased or elevated Progesterone levels.

⬆️Elevated Progesterone levels can occur from:
-Adrenal Disorders
-Progesterone Therapy
-Chronic Stress
-Liver Disorders
-Ovarian/Testicular Dysfunction
-Pregnancy/Menstrual Cycle

⬇️Decreased Progesterone levels can occur from:
-Thyroid Dysfunction
-Certain Medications
-Adrenal Insufficiency
-Ovarian/Testicular Failure
-PCOS
-Menopause
-Amenorrhoea
-High Prolactin (Hyperprolactinaemia)

Testing Progesterone levels can help identify hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, inflammation and adrenal disorders.

On World Su***de Prevention Day - a reminder of our awareness as a team that behind every test, every result, and every enquiry or conversation about health, there is a human story.

As the founder of Atlas, I’ve always believed that health is more than numbers on a page; it’s about the people we love, the roads we have travelled and the battles we have faced, sometimes without the world knowing.

Mental health is inseparable from physical health, and yet too often it remains hidden, silent, or stigmatised.

Today, I want to share a simple truth: you are not alone. Reaching out for help, or asking someone how they are, really, can change everything.

To anyone who is struggling, please know there is support, and there is hope. Let’s keep talking, listening, and standing together, taking time to smile at strangers or pause to be present when somebody needs it most.

If today’s message resonates with you, I invite you to take one small action: check in with a friend, open up a conversation, or simply let someone know they matter. Sometimes, that’s the lifeline they need.

Everybody deserves to speak and be heard, to ask for help and be supported.

Hormonal imbalances don’t always “look” hormonal.

On the surface, it might show up as:

– Low energy or constant fatigue
– Mood swings or anxiety
– Weight changes that don’t respond to diet
– Poor sleep, brain fog, or breakouts

But under the surface, we often see shifts in key biomarkers like cortisol, thyroid hormones, insulin, oestrogen, or progesterone - that tell a very different story.

It’s not “just stress.”

It’s not “just getting older.”

And you’re not imagining it.

The body leaves clues. The right testing can connect those surface level symptoms to what’s really happening beneath.
