Estrogen is incredibly protective and when it decl

Estrogen is incredibly protective and when it declines we lose its protection. This transition is considered an inflammatory event which lends itself to chronic inflammation which can affect many different organ systems. This means you are at greater risk of
- Osteoporosis - Women are 4x more likely to develop osteoporosis as men due to the fact that estrogen performs the important role of slowing down breakdown of bone. Bone tissue also has estrogen receptors that activate formation and increase production.
-Coronary Heart disease - This occurs when plaques made of cholesterol and fats builds up in the arteries reducing the flow of oxygen. This increases your risk for blood clots and heart attacks
-Insulin Resistance - This occurs when your body is less receptive to insulin leading to higher blood sugar levels. This elevated level can lead to low grade inflammation.
-Neuroinflammation - this occurs when inflammation occurs in the brain or spinal cord and can cause nerve cell damage essential to cognitive function. This can lead to Alzheimer's.
-Visceral Fat Gain - Visceral fat is considered harmful and active fat as it can release inflammatory proteins that can lead to low grade inflammation. It seems as though the combo of changes in diet and activity, decline in sleep quality and diminished estrogen leads to increases in visceral fat.
-Sarcopenia - Losing lean muscle mass can lead to body composition changes. Estrogen plays an important role in muscle tissue maintenance. Loss of estrogen can lead to decreased mobility and strength, increased fat mass and poorer metabolic health

You don't have to suffer through this tho! There are many ways to support this chance and support your health. Book in so we can discuss this in detail!

Are you experiencing more musculoskeletal pain tha

Are you experiencing more musculoskeletal pain than normal now that you are in perimenopause/menopause? Here are some reasons as to why this might be

1) Estrogen is anti-inflammatory. Without estrogen joint pain can develop
2) Loss of muscle mass - We lose 6-7 percent of our muscle mass as well age which then leads for us to be more susceptible to injuries and decreased muscle stamina. Estrogen also maintains mitochondrial function and muscle health
3) Stem cell activity - estrogen activates stem cell activity and growth. With the decline in estrogen muscle recovery becomes impaired.
4) Loss of Bone density - Estrogen is helpful for bone health. Without it, our bone health is compromised
5) Cartilage damage - estrogen also support healthy cartilage found in our joints and spine

The secret to prevention - LIFT THOSE WEIGHTS, EAT THAT PROTEIN and consider if HRT might be right for you

When should you consider doing on hormones?

👩‍🦳genito-urinary issues such as bladder infections, dryness

Research has shown possible benefit from estrogen for
🌸mood changes

However many of my patients do notice these benefits regardless of the research being clear about its direct benefits . We always discuss the risks and benefits of going on estrogen and talk about your individual risks and benefits! Individualized care is so important in making these decisions ❤️
