@menopausetaylor: Estrogen was your fountain of youth. It kept you young on the inside and on the outside. When you lose your estrogen, you start aging rapidly on the inside and the outside. The outside aging entails symptoms of estrogen deficiency that span from your head to your toes, from your home life to your work life, and from your physical well-being to your emotional well-being. The inside aging involves aging of your heart, bones, and brain. And this rapid aging of your heart, bones, and brain puts you at very high risk for heart attack, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s Disease. So the time at which you start HRT for menopause determines whether or not you begin developing these symptoms or these three diseases of estrogen deficiency. The earlier in your peri-menopause you start taking adequate hormone replacement therapy to prevent the symptoms, the fewer symptoms you endure. And the earlier in your peri-menopause you start taking adequate hormone replacement therapy to prevent the diseases, the fewer diseases you endure. So the question, “What’s the best time to start HRT for menopause?” is really a question about prevention of bothersome symptoms and fatal diseases. #menopause #womenover50 #perimenopause #menopausalwomen #womenover50ontiktok
