@kelseykoehler_profithpm: Studies show women begin to lose muscle mass as early as the age of 20. This is compounded as women progress into perimenopause. The aging process brings about a decline in the body’s physiological functions. The body’s muscle mass shows a steady decline starting from around the age of twenty. When a woman hits menopause, however, the rate at which she loses muscle mass increases. Studies have concluded that this increased rate of muscle loss is due to a deficit regarding the production of the estrogen hormone. The decrease in estrogen production also contributes to the loss of bone mass density, an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and the redistribution of fat to the visceral area, which includes the body’s organs such as the lungs, heart, liver, or pancreas. To make matters worse, it has a direct effect on muscle tissue. Muscle loss is mainly the result of an imbalance regarding protein synthesis in muscles and muscle protein breakdown, as well as increased catabolic factors. These include inflammation and oxidative stress. A decline in hormone levels, which is associated with menopause, is also involved. Additionally, new studies have shown that vitamin D also plays a role; a low level of vitamin D contributes to muscle loss. These changes are a great example as to why it’s important to take your health into your own hands and be proactive about running regular lab testing and addressing these natural changes with Nutrition, exercise, supplements, lifestyle adjustments, and medication’s like hormone replacement when necessary.
