Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) has long been a solution for managing these symptoms. But what about postmenopausal women who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI)? The latest factsheet from the British Menopause Society sheds light on this critical topic. Here are some key takeaways: 1) Beneficial Effects on Arterial Health: Oestrogen, a key component of MHT, offers substantial benefits to arterial health. It improves vascular function and reduces atheroma formation, potentially lowering the risk of coronary events. 2) Considerations for Arterial Disease**: For women with existing arterial disease, the choice of MHT regimen becomes crucial. Studies indicate that lower doses of oestrogen, preferably administered non-orally, along with non- androgenic progestogens, are associated with favourable outcomes. 3) Post-MI Management: Contrary to common perception, current MHT users at the time of an MI may have lower mortality rates. The decision to continue or initiate MHT post-MI should be made with caution, considering factors such as age, hormone type, dose, route of administration, and co-administration of statins. 4) Practice Recommendations: The factsheet emphasises the importance of personalised MHT regimens tailored to individual patient profiles. It suggests careful monitoring and collaboration with specialist menopause clinics for optimal management. This comprehensive resource, authored by distinguished experts, provides invaluable insights for healthcare professionals navigating the complex landscape of MHT post-MI.

Veozah, also known as fezolinetant, is a new oral medication approved by the United States Food and Drug Association (FDA) for treating moderate to severe (hot flashes associated with menopause. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 Veozah is what’s called a neurokinin-3 (NK3) receptor antagonist and it works by blocking the action of NK3, a brain protein that regulates body temperature. 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Veozah was approved by the FDA in May 2023 and in the UK in December. Veozah's availability in Canada is pending results of an application to Health Canada. Notably, despite FDA approval, it is not yet covered by insurance in the US, with a monthly cost of around $550. 𝗔 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Veozah presents a new alternative for women with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) contraindications or for those who do not want to take HRT. 𝗜𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 It is essential to recognize that Veozah addresses symptoms without tackling the root cause—declining estrogen levels. Estrogen replacement through HRT (for those who can take it) offers broader benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects, cardiovascular protection, stress reduction, and muscle support, and is the only way to replace depleted estrogen levels. It is promising to see new studies offering hope for menopausal women. We deserve support for our life-changing symptoms, sparing us from unnecessary suffering. • • • #hotflashes #Veozah #FDA #hotflashmedication #menopausedrugs #perimenopause #menopause #menopausehealth #menopauseawareness #menopausesymptoms #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #womenshealthandwellness #femalehealth #hormonalchanges #revivele

Been asked quite a bit from friends, family and colleagues about perimenopause and postmenopause management. I will share a few resources this week. Here is a review article that covers a bit about the transition to menopause vs. just postmenopausal management. https://lnkd.in/g-gJuFn2

🔬Breaking News: Did you know that over 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms during menopause? 👩🏻⚕️Dr. Vonda Wright's groundbreaking review introduces the term 'Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause,' a significant step in understanding the impact of hormonal changes on our bones, muscles, and joints. 🦴Symptoms of Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause can include joint pain, inflammation, muscle loss (sarcopenia), osteoporosis, and cartilage damage. This new terminology helps connect these issues to the hormonal changes of menopause, highlighting the importance of early intervention through proper nutrition, resistance training, vitamin supplementation, and possibly menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). 🧬Physicians are encouraged to adopt this terminology as it can significantly enhance their communication with patients, improve treatment approaches, and stimulate further research. Early recognition and management of these symptoms can dramatically improve quality of life, prevent falls, and reduce frailty-related mortality in menopausal women.🌸 Read the full study below and learn how you can take action to protect your health: https://lnkd.in/gWZNyiuS #MenopauseAwareness #HealthyAging #WomensHealth

Women in perimenopause and menopause, this is important information. We have been given the wrong information about hormone replacement therapy. It is not to be avoided. Bio-identical hormone replacement is protective against cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and osteoporosis.  #functionalmedicine #nutritionist #registereddietitian #rootcausemedicine #dietitian #autoimmunedisease #guthealth #hormones #hormonalbalance #inflammation #hearthealth #heartdisease #cardiovasculardisease #probiotics #sleephygiene #insomnia #diabetes #bloodsugar #insulinresistance #menopause #perimenopause #hormonereplacementtherapy #bioidenticalhormonereplacementtherapy #bhrt

This new longitudinal study following Medicare recipients who had menopausal hormone therapy after 65 shows that not only is it NOT a risk but it has a PLETHORA of positive benefits to reduce risk of chronic disease. This adds to an increasing body of evidence highlighting lots of pros and not a lot of cons to continuing hormone therapy if symptoms don't dictate otherwise. Certainly an evolving area of science! Knowledge is power so women can make informed decisions alongside their providers! https://lnkd.in/ex5i8m93 #womenshealth #menopause

In our latest blog, we delve into the types and forms of MHT, who are candidates for MHT, benefits, and potential risks and side effects of this treatment. ➜ Important Information About Menopause Hormone Therapy Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), now more commonly referred to as Menopause Hormone Treatment (MHT), is designed to supplement hormones that are lost during the menopausal transition. It uses low doses of estrogen, either as a monotherapy or in conjunction with progesterone, to manage menopausal symptoms and improve the quality of life during this transition. In this blog, we will delve into the types and forms of MHT, who are candidates for MHT, the benefits, and potential risks and side effects of this treatment.

During perimenopause and menopause, the fluctuating and declining estrogen levels cause an accelerated shift in the balance of inflammatory signals, leading to low-grade increase in inflammation. This shift towards an increase in inflammation with declining hormones is associated with the perimenopause stage which is associated with an increased risk in inflammatory conditions. We can spend more than half our lives as postmenopausal, so, it is essential that we understand how the low ovarian hormonal state contributes to inflammation and chronic disease. Perimenopause and menopause are a result of endocrine aging. The low hormone levels contribute to inflammation. The main regulator is Estradiol, which regulates the immune system and is critical to reducing inflammation. It is a brain and cardio protector, and strengthens our bones. Estradiol is primarily produced by the ovaries, so after menopause our estradiol levels are low. The main estrogen in the body after menopause is estrone, produced primarily by adipose cells, and is pro-inflammatory.
