How to Introduce HRT in Perimenopause
Navigating perimenopause can feel like riding a roller coaster. If you’re considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT), here are some tips to help you make informed choices tailored to your needs:
The Benefits of Creatine for Women in Perimenopause for Strength, Mood and Bone Health
Creatine supplementation offers several specific benefits for women in perimenopause, primarily due to its role in energy metabolism, brain/mental health and muscle function. During perimenopause, women experience hormonal changes that can affect muscle mass, bone density and mood. Creatine can help mitigate some of these effects by enhancing muscle strength, improving bone health and supporting cognitive function.
The Importance of Protein Intake During Perimenopause
As women transition into perimenopause, a phase that typically begins in their 30s or 40s leading up to menopause, their bodies undergo significant hormonal changes. These fluctuations can affect various aspects of health, including metabolism, muscle mass, and bone density. One critical nutrient that often requires special attention during this time is protein. Experts recommend peri/menopausal women consume about 1g/lb of ideal body weight of protein per day, or about 30-40g of protein per meal.
Exploring the Latest Breakthroughs in Menopause Research
The Connection Between Menopause and Cardiovascular Health
Recent studies have highlighted the relationship between menopause and cardiovascular health, reinforcing the idea that women are at increased risk for heart disease post-menopause. A landmark study published in The Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that women entering menopause experience significant changes in blood pressure and cholesterol levels (Peters et al., 2020). This highlights the importance of preventive measures during the transition, emphasizing regular check-ups for cardiovascular health, dietary changes, and physical activity. Read More
