Calculators
The measures that shift through the menopause transition, and that weight alone misses. Each applies a published formula you can check, states what it cannot tell you, and stores nothing.
Cholesterol ratio calculator
Work out your total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio, why it changes around the final period, and what the number does and does not tell you.
Blood pressure category calculator
Enter a blood pressure reading to see which category it falls into, and why blood pressure rises in women after the menopause transition.
Waist-to-height ratio calculator
Why waist measurement tells you more than weight in midlife, and what your waist-to-height ratio means once fat starts moving to the abdomen.
Daily protein calculator for midlife
How much protein supports muscle through the menopause transition, why the requirement rises with age, and how to spread it across the day.
Daily calcium intake calculator
Estimate your daily calcium from food, see how it compares with the recommendation after menopause, and why food sources are preferred to supplements.
Looking for a symptom self-check instead? Those live in the self-checks. For what each measure means, the explainers cover the underlying changes.
