Lastly, it’s my hormones and fertility health – the results I was most curious about given their huge influence over a woman’s overall health. Thankfully, everything looks good, aside from a slightly elevated prolactin level that was likely caused by stress from getting my blood taken. The rest – oestrodiol, FSH, LH, progesterone, testosterone and more – are all where they need to be at this point of my cycle. Additionally, my AMH level (the number of eggs I have left) is as expected for a woman of my age – not particularly high, but not particularly low either.

We test for 8 key hormones from a simple blood test with results available in 2 working days. Be careful when booking hormone tests online—there is only one day a month it can be done and they bury this fact in the 7th paragraph of their marketing description! There is no notice at booking, which is when you buy the test, either that it can only be a particular day of your cycle. A sudden surge in LH levels, triggered by the high levels of oestrogen, starts around the middle of the menstrual cycle. This surge triggers the release of the matured egg from the ovary (ovulation).

We all know someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. With many admitting that they just don’t feel right post COVID, suffering fatigue, loss of appetite, dizziness, difficulty sleeping and mood changes.

While exploring a Reddit thread, I searched for an affordable UK version of the tests recommended by Attia. The Everyman test covers a substantial number of tests in the book and is reasonably priced for what it offers. It's remarkable, providing over 150 health tests. It started with my “health status” broken down into three key areas. My results indicated that my health is 77% in range (results that require little or no intervention), 2% in between (results that could benefit from a little attention), and 21% out of range (abnormalities that require action or further investigation).The decrease in both oestrogen and progesterone levels triggers the shedding of the womb lining, marking the start of a new menstrual cycle.
