Menopause Type® Ten Protocol by Joseph J. Collins, RN, ND
Menopause Type® Ten has symptoms that reveal both decreased estrogen function and decreased progesterone function. Based on the symptoms, testosterone is functioning okay.
Health risks associated with Menopause Type® Ten may include osteoporosis, depression, and heart disease. Because estrogen and progesterone function is suboptimal, they are often unable to properly oppose the actions of androgens such as testosterone. This may result in some mild androgen excess symptoms such as insulin resistance with abnormal function of blood glucose. Once estrogen and progesterone are supported to normal function, any minor androgen excess symptoms and risks are usually corrected.
To learn more about Menopause Type® Ten, please see pages 149 through 155 in Discover Your Menopause Type, by Joseph J Collins, RN, ND.
Determination of this Menopause Type® is made through the use of the Menopause Type® Questionnaire, and/or lab tests. The Foundations of Hormone Health provides a detailed description on how to get the best results from protocols.
Hormone Specific™ Formulation for Menopause Type® Ten
With the symptoms of both decreased estrogen function and decreased progesterone function in this Menopause Type®, choose both EstroMend™ and ProgestoMend™.
The EstroMend™ formulation contains herbs that relieve hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings and memory problems without actually raising estrogen levels. It promotes healthy mood, sleep, sexual function, memory and heart health without increasing estrogen risks.
The ProgestoMend™ formulation is a unique blend of phytoprogesterones, phytoprogestogenic herbs, and adaptogens and other herbs to increase natural progesterone production and function by supporting the ideal function of progesterone producing tissues and of progesterone responsive tissues, and by preventing progesterone resistance.

Other considerations:
Generalized fatigue disorders or adrenal fatigue can occur with any Menopause Type®. If a fatigue disorder is suspected, consider AdrenoMend™ to support normal adrenal function and support the normal function of the multiple homeostasis regulatory systems that become imbalanced with fatigue disorders.
Decreased thyroid function may also be present with any Menopause Type®. If decreased thyroid function is suspected, use the Hypothyroid Risk Questionnaire™ to calculate the probability of low thyroid function being present now, and if ThyroMend™ would be beneficial at this time.
