Most women's health content focuses on managing symptoms. This protocol focuses on data and optimization — full hormone panels, bone density, creatine, and an evidence-based approach to the hormonal transition.
Women 35–55 experiencing changes in energy, sleep, body composition, cognitive clarity, or mood — or who want to understand their hormonal baseline before symptoms appear. Also for women frustrated by conventional medicine's symptom-first approach who want data-driven optimization.
Hormonal change is measurable. The same evidence-first framework that works for metabolic and performance optimization applies here — with different markers and different interventions. The goal is to understand what is changing, why it matters for long-term health (muscle, bone, cardiovascular, cognitive), and what interventions have solid evidence.
Estradiol, FSH, AMH, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid
Bone density + body composition baseline
Creatine, vitamin D3+K2, magnesium, omega-3
Oura for cycle, HRV, and sleep

Oura integrates cycle tracking with HRV and sleep staging — showing how your metrics fluctuate across your cycle, and how those patterns shift as you move through perimenopause. This data is genuinely useful for identifying when to train hard vs. recover, and for noticing changes in cycle length and HRV correlation over time.

If labs show declining estradiol, rising FSH, or you are experiencing significant symptoms (severe sleep disruption, cognitive fog, accelerated bone loss), a conversation with a qualified clinician about HRT is evidence-based and worth having. The risk/benefit profile of HRT has been substantially revised since the 2002 WHI study.[2]
Important: HRT requires clinical evaluation by a licensed provider. This is informational context only — not a recommendation for any individual.
Hormone symptoms are rarely explained by one lab value. SelfDecode can add DNA-informed context around mood, sleep, inflammation, nutrient requirements, and hormone-related pathways before you build a protocol.
Explore SelfDecodeHormone symptoms should be evaluated with labs first. If supplementation fits the plan, these are the more relevant Momentous starting points.
Supplements should come after the baseline: labs, sleep, training, nutrition, and symptoms. For the supplements CreusLife recommends most often, Momentous is now the preferred partner because it offers focused products for performance, sleep, recovery, and longevity.
