Best for

  • Perimenopause or menopause — with new or worsening cardiovascular symptoms
  • Elevated hsCRP or unexplained cardiovascular inflammation
  • Elevated Lp(a) that worsened after menopause or hormonal change
  • Metabolic syndrome — insulin resistance, central weight gain, elevated triglycerides
  • Thyroid dysfunction — diagnosed or suspected
  • Stubborn weight that doesn't respond to diet or exercise
  • Men with low testosterone or hormonal shifts affecting cardiovascular risk
  • Wanting to avoid or augment GLP-1 medications — seeking a root-cause alternative
  • Breast cancer history or risk — needing hormonal + cardiovascular co-management

PATIENT STORY — Hormones & Metabolism Toolkit

“After menopause, my inflammation levels went up and my Lp(a) was flagged as a concern. My previous cardiologist told me to watch it. Dr. Druz found out exactly why it was rising and built a protocol that targeted both the hormonal change and the inflammation at the same time.”

Menopause changes more than your hormones — it changes your cardiovascular risk

The transition through perimenopause and menopause triggers a cascade of metabolic and cardiovascular changes that most standard cardiology practices are not equipped to evaluate. Estrogen loss accelerates vascular aging, raises LDL particle atherogenicity, increases inflammatory burden — and for women with a genetic predisposition, dramatically elevates Lp(a). The Hormones & Metabolism toolkit was built to see all of this at once.

hsCRP — the inflammation signal that predicts events

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is one of the most important cardiovascular risk markers your annual physical almost certainly doesn't measure. Elevated hsCRP predicts future cardiovascular events independently of LDL cholesterol. The Hormones & Metabolism toolkit includes hsCRP as part of a comprehensive inflammatory panel — and identifies the hormonal drivers when hormonal change is contributing to elevated inflammation.

Lp(a) after menopause — why it rises and what to do

Lp(a) is genetically determined — but its expression can worsen with hormonal change. Women who experience a significan’t Lp(a) elevation following menopause often find that addressing the hormonal shift is part of managing the cardiovascular risk. Understanding both the genetic baseline and the hormonal modifier is critical to building an effective protocol.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

01Is this kit designed specifically for women?+
The Hormones & Metabolism Kit is relevant for anyone with hormonal or metabolic drivers of cardiovascular risk — including men with low testosterone, insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome. It is particularly valuable for women in the peri-menopausal or post-menopausal transition, when hormonal changes dramatically alter cardiovascular risk profiles.
02Why has my hsCRP been elevated and my doctor hasn't done anything about it?+
Many standard cardiology practices treat hsCRP as an adjunct marker rather than a primary target. At HHC, elevated hsCRP triggers a systematic search for the underlying driver — whether that is hormonal change, metabolic dysfunction, chronic infection, oxidative stress, or gut-derived inflammation. The Hormones & Metabolism Kit gives you the data to identify which driver is primary.
03My Lp(a) was flagged as high but my doctor said nothing can be done. Is that true?+
This is a common and outdated response. While Lp(a) is genetically determined and not modified by standard statin therapy, there are effective strategies to reduce its cardiovascular impact — including aggressive management of other modifiable risk factors, targeted anti-inflammatory approaches, hormonal optimization where relevant, and emerging pharmacological options.
04What if I'm already on hormone therapy?+
If you are currently on hormone therapy, the Hormones & Metabolism Kit will show your current hormonal levels on therapy, thyroid function, and cardiovascular inflammatory markers. You can assess whether your current regimen is optimized from a cardiovascular safety and efficacy standpoint.
05Is $1,199 covered by insurance or HSA/FSA?+
HHC is a cash-pay practice. The Hormones & Metabolism Toolkit is typically HSA and FSA eligible. We provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Please confirm with your plan.
