The symptoms of midlife and menopause will no longer seem mysterious once you understand why they occur!
If you are over 35 and your periods have changed by more than 7 days for even one cycle, you are in at least early perimenopause. Once you start understanding your triggers and tracking your symptoms, you will be able to have control over your future. You will be motivated to avoid triggers such as inadequate water or too much sugar to feel better and have healthy aging. If you choose to start a treatment such as hormone medication, like so many other women have, the MTS allows you to track your success. The MTS is a validated tool for quantifying and tracking your midlife and menopausal symptoms.
Tracking your MTS® score weekly can help you monitor changes in your symptoms and notice patterns over time. The scale helps you identify your most bothersome symptoms and see how they respond as you make adjustments in your daily life or begin a new treatment or medication.
A lower score means your symptoms are more frequent or bothersome, while a higher score means your symptoms are less intense or better managed. Your score isn’t “good” or “bad”—it’s simply a way to track how you’re feeling over time so you can see what’s working and what might need attention.
At true. Women’s Health: we use SEEDS®—the Seven Essential Elements for Daily Success—to support your body’s natural hormone balance and overall wellness. Small changes in these areas can make a big difference in how you feel!
TIP: Consider recording your MTS® score in a journal each week, along with notes about your SEEDS® habits. Tracking both together can help you see what’s working and where you may need extra support. Over time, you’ll start to see how changes in your daily routines (like better sleep or more movement) may influence your symptoms.
