Menopause is defined as the point in a woman’s life when menstrual cycles cease, and it’s no secret that most menopausal symptoms can be relieved by bioidentical estrogen replacement. But estrogen also has essential roles in longevity and reducing the risk of heart disease.
To help us break it all down, we’re joined by Dr. Cassie Smith, a board-certified endocrinologist and the founder of Modern Endocrine. Dr. Smith specializes in personalized hormone replacement therapy and helps her patients achieve balance and wellness. Today, she’ll share how optimizing estradiol can not only relieve symptoms but also improve long-term health.
Today’s Topics:
- Understanding the monthly fluctuations of estradiol in the menstrual cycle
- How hormone levels shift during perimenopause?
- What are the common symptoms of estrogen deficiency?
- The broader health benefits of estradiol, including its effects on heart, bone, and brain health.
- Exploring the pros and cons of various methods of estradiol replacement (patches, pills, creams, etc.).
- The importance of balancing progesterone with estradiol for safe and effective hormone replacement therapy.
- Key takeaways on estradiol optimization in menopausal women.
As always, thanks for watching!
