What to watch with Fitness | LifestyleCheck and Wechseljahre?

Combining Fitness | LifestyleCheck with menopause (Wechseljahre) requires careful interpretation. The Fitness | LifestyleCheck (e.g., MyBody-X) typically analyzes biomarkers like vitamin D, iron, thyroid function, lipids, and inflammation markers – all of which can shift during menopause due to estrogen decline. This affects bone density, fat distribution, and insulin sensitivity. While the test may flag potential risks, it is not diagnostic. Key caveats: many markers fluctuate; a single measurement is not conclusive. DNA variants (e.g., FTO, MC4R) explain only a small fraction of weight or appetite variation. Evidence for DNA-based diet personalization is weak (GWAS, no RCTs). Do not treat results as medical directives. For symptoms like hot flashes, sleep issues, or mood changes, consult a healthcare provider. Lifestyle modifications (exercise, stress reduction, balanced nutrition) remain the most effective approach. Evidence: practice-based, supplemented by observational studies.
