The Perimenopause Protocol
Something has changed. You're not imagining it. A full workup, a doctor who actually explains what's shifting and why, and a 12-month plan that gets reassessed as your body keeps changing.
- Full hormone and metabolic panel, benchmarked to your life stage
- GP-led review of your symptoms, cycle, sleep and history
- 12-month protocol with reassessments built in

If this is you
- Sleep has changed
- Cycle is different
- Mood is unpredictable
- Body feels different
- Concentration has slipped
- Not feeling like yourself
What we look at:
Full hormone and metabolic panel
- FSH, LH, oestradiol and progesterone read in the context of your cycle, not a single snapshot in isolation
- Thyroid, iron, B12, vitamin D and metabolic markers — the things that mimic and amplify perimenopause symptoms
- Additional markers where your history indicates — prolactin, free thyroxine, cardiovascular and bone-health screens
Symptom, cycle and history review
- A structured review of what's changed and when — cycle, sleep, mood, temperature, energy, cognition
- The context most 10-minute GP appointments don't have time to take
- Documented properly. So if it changes again in six months, we can see what actually moved "take a prenatal"

Options, not just a script
- Your doctor talks you through what's evidence-based for your results and your history — including MHT where appropriate, and everything alongside it
- If your results indicate specialist input — gynaecology, endocrinology, breast services — we refer with your workup already on file
- Nothing gets flagged and left unexplained
Testing is easy
01
Complete your Fig baseline
A short health summary and intake. Free, and it stays on file.
A Fig nurse follows up to talk you through what your protocol
includes.02
Your doctor orders your workup
Collected at your local pathology clinic. No referral needed. Your doctor reviews results before your consult, so nothing is skimmed on the day.
03Build a 12 month plan with your doctor
A proper video consult. Every result explained. Reassessments at
3, 6 and 12 months already booked in.
The healthcare system wasn't built
for something that changes every six months.
This is not a one-appointment conversation. Fig is built for the years it actually takes — investigated properly,
reassessed properly, and adjusted as your body keeps changing.

What is Fig?
Fig is an Australian digital health clinic bringing GP-led care, a dedicated care team and your care plan together in one connected experience.
Where is Fig available?
Fig is available to patients located in all Australian states and territories: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. Fig is not available outside Australia. You must have an Australian residential address and be located in Australia at the time of your consultation, and we can only deliver medication to Australian addresses.
Who is it for?
Adults who want a doctor-led weight or health protocol with ongoing monitoring rather than a one-off consult. Eligibility is confirmed by a GP after your health check.
Do I need to already have a prescription or a GP?
No. You do not need an existing prescription or a regular GP. Your Fig doctor reviews your health check and decides what is appropriate for you.
How is this different from other weight-loss options?
Care does not stop at the prescription. You keep the same doctor, a care team checking in, and monitoring that continues for as long as you are on the protocol.
