When we refuse to assign a value to something, it becomes unclear how to handle that thing. 🎤

If we say "heart disease is bad" we can take steps to prevent or reverse it.

That doesn't mean that people with heart disease are bad. It doesn't mean that if you're unlucky enough to have it, you have no recourse or that your world can't be filled with continued joy, productivity, great sex and all the things. 🫦

It just means that we're taking a stand. That we're contributing to research to prevent it. That we're talking about the very real risk of it changing your life if steps aren't taken.

Those steps may be lifestyle alone. They may be medications. All are valid. But we must first understand that it's something worth fighting.

That it's a problem. That it's bad. 🚴

What do you think? ⁉️

Estrone gets called "the bad estrogen." It shows up looking like trouble, so everyone assumes it is trouble.

Quick intro: estrone is one of your three estrogens, and after menopause it's the main one you have. Your body makes most of it in your fat.

That's why it shows up wherever there's extra fat, stress and inflammation. It's at the scene. That doesn't mean it threw the punch.

Hormones aren't heroes or villains. They're context.

Comment "Substack" and I'll send you the full case.

Knowledge is power. 💪

Since when is it okay to withhold important health information from women, even if it makes them uncomfortable?

When we understand what is changing at menopause, we can fight back with a healthy lifestyle. 🏋️

Often, we can fight back with hormone therapy.

We do not have to age the way our mothers and grandmothers aged but we DO have to be receptive to learning about our bodies, even if it makes us uncomfortable.

Later natural menopause is associated with a longer lifespan in women (ex > 55). 🎉

Untreated, earlier menopause and premature ovarian insufficiency (< 40 yrs old) are associated with increased heart disease, dementia, osteoporosis and shorter lifespan.

If you experienced early menopause/POI, it means you want to pay even more attention to lifestyle (and consider hormone therapy) to prevent the above. 💪

Ovarian hormones are the pacemakers of aging in women. When we understand how they work and what they protect, we can take deliberate actions to stay healthier for longer. 😊

What would it be like if we studied women and ovarian health like we actually cared?

Just imagine! 🥰

Five powerful words can help clarify why medical providers have reservations when giving hormones.

What are you afraid of? ✅

Once you understand where the hesitation comes from, you and your provider can begin to address it head on.

Late-starters are a common group that get push-back so I created a free guide for you and your physician to jump-start this conversation.

It's breast cancer awareness month... Have you had your breast screening? 🌷

My annual mammogram always falls in October so it's easy for me to remember.

Whether you choose a mammogram +/- additional screening like breast MRI, QT scan and ultrasound, make sure you're checking in regularly.

And, if you have the sound off on this post, turn it on. You're gonna thank me! 🔊

What's your go-to breast screening tool? ⁉️ 👇

Do GLP-1s cause bone loss? Possibly.

In a year-long trial, hip bone density came out about 2.6% lower on semaglutide than on placebo. That is about what you would expect from losing the same amount of weight by dieting. Here is why it can happen:

1. Less load. Your bones respond to the weight they carry every day.
2. Less estrogen. After menopause, fat tissue is your main estrogen source.
3. Less lifting. Low appetite and low energy can mean less protein and fewer workouts.

If you are on one of these meds: get a baseline DEXA, lift heavy things, and eat your protein. If your bones are already low, ask your doctor about hormone therapy or a bone medication too.

Have you had a DEXA scan lately? ⁉️

Do you need testosterone therapy? 🤔

Maybe!

Women make as much testosterone as estrogen so it's definitely a vital hormone.

And, production declines over time, starting at about age thirty. 📉

But, the ovaries still make testosterone after menopause (unlike estradiol and progesterone) so not every woman will need replacement. ❎

Have you tried testosterone therapy? ⁉️

Do GLP1 medications cause bone loss? 🤔

They can. But, it's less due to the drugs themselves and more to what often comes with the drugs.

- Less load on the bones
- Less estrogen for the bones
- Less protein and heavy lifting.

If you're taking Ozempic or Wegovy or similar drugs, make sure you get a baseline DEXA scan and recheck at 6-12 months.

Have you taken a GLP1 medication? ⁉️

What would you bring to a Favorite Things Party? 🤔

I'm fortunate in that I often get free gifts from companies in the health and wellness space.

I work with a few companies as an affiliate.

An affiliate collaboration means I get a promo code or landing page to share with you so you get a discount on the product.

Then, I get a small percentage of sales (usually 10-15%).

But, I also often share products that I have no financial relationship with at all. 🥳

I always tell you which is which, both here and in my monthly "Spotted, Soon, & Smitten" Substack.

Comment "Substack" for a link. 👇

It's the only thing in medicine defined by what didn't happen a year ago instead of what is happening today.

Progesterone cream does not reliably protect the uterus. ❎

If you are taking estrogen and have a uterus, you need a good quality progestogen to protect from endometrial cancer.

Progesterone creams are not always well absorbed (it's a big molecule) so while they may or may not help symptoms, we don't usually rely on them for uterine protection.

Did you know this about progesterone cream? ⁉️

GLP1 medications are great, but ... 🤔

they can affect estrogen production in menopausal women by eliminating fat.

For women taking hormone therapy, this effect is small.

For women not taking estrogen therapy, it can cause symptoms and, potentially, increase the risk of estrogen -sensitive diseases, like osteoporosis. 😩

Hormone therapy and GLP1's work synergistically and are a fantastic combo for the right woman.

Have you tried GLP1 medications as a midlife woman? What was your experience? ⁉️

In 2002, one study put the prescription bottle in the lineup.Everyone pointed at her. Everyone else walked out the back door. 😲

Modern hormone therapy (estradiol + micronized progesterone) may not raise breast cancer risk at all. But let's use the scariest number anyway: 28% more, from the WHI's older pill combo in women averaging 63.

High insulin, hidden belly fat, weight gained since your twenties and a nightly third glass all clear that bar. Nobody asks you to sign a consent form for those.

You walk into the kitchen and forget why. Fourteen tabs open, nine of them for the same thing. The to-do list turns up in the freezer. 😲

For about forty years, estrogen ran your brain's front office. In perimenopause, she starts calling in sick.

At the A4M Women's Health Summit, my friend @drjolenebrighten explained why perimenopause can look a whole lot like ADHD. For some women it's temporary. For others it's ADHD that was there all along, finally out from behind the color-coded planner.

You're not losing your mind. You're losing your assistant.

Go get Jolene's new book, ADHD and Women. Then go get tacos (her prescription, not mine).

Not sponsored. Jolene is a friend and I think the book is good.

Patch problems? 😩

If you're using matrix style patches, where the estrogen is distributed evenly across the adhesive, you can cut them to reduce your dose. ✅

This didn't work with old reservoir style patches but those haven't been prescribed in a decade. .

And, remember, there are many other forms of estradiol besides patches' gels, sprays, vaginal rings, injections, pills plus other compounded options. 🥳

And, Mom. Call me first next time. I'm not too busy for you. ♥️

Two drugs are FDA-approved for low sexual desire in women. The one with the best data is not among them.

Flibanserin is a nightly pill. Bremelanotide is a shot before sex. Testosterone, at a physiologic dose, edges both on desire and beats both on satisfying sexual events per month, and it is the only one of the three that clearly separates from placebo on arousal and orgasm.

One caveat: these are different trials with different yardsticks, so this is each drug against its own placebo, not a head-to-head race.

There is still no FDA-approved testosterone product for women in the United States. Every prescription is off-label.

Has your doctor ever mentioned testosterone or other medications for low desire? ❓
