Everything You Need To Know About The Menopause | Kate Muir
Episode 403
Angela is joined again by Kate Muir, to discuss the complexities of midlife, focusing on hormones, brain health, and mental well-being. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy, emphasising the benefits of bioidentical hormones compared to synthetic options, and highlight the significant risks associated with obesity and alcohol consumption. Kate and Angela also touch on the importance of lifestyle changes, such as exercise and nutrition, in managing menopause symptoms.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Hormone Therapy and Risks: Body-identical hormone therapy, especially estrogen, can lower breast cancer risks, unlike older synthetic options.
- Mental Health and Hormones: Hormonal shifts during menopause impact mental well-being, with a strong correlation between low estrogen and increased anxiety or depression.
- Bone and Muscle Health: Estrogen helps preserve bone density, essential to preventing osteoporosis. Women should also focus on strength training and protein intake.
- Diet and Supplements: High-protein diets, creatine, and supplements like sulforaphane support brain health and offset hormone declines.
- Awareness in Younger Women: Early education on bone health and hormone impacts could improve lifelong well-being.
- Preventing Exploitation: Be cautious of “menopause-targeted” products with questionable benefits, like "menopause chocolate."
