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.

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

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death across the developed and developing world*. While the awareness of CVD in females has gained momentum in the last few decades, particularly amongst health professionals, female patients are not adopting CVD preventative recommendations because of their perception of risk. Compared to a decade earlier, in 2019, females were 74% less likely to identify heart disease as the leading cause of death, and twice as likely (16.5% versus 7.9%) to identify breast cancer versus heart disease as the leading cause*. As clinicians, we need to confidently identify those at risk, particularly during the menopause journey. In this clinical masterclass, naturopath Sandra Villella will discuss assessing for and identifying the cardiometabolic risk factors. Sandra will also deep dive into - - The link between cardiometabolic risk factors and the risk for dementia and cognitive decline. - Nutritional recommendations, herbal therapeutics and evidence-based dietary and lifestyle interventions needed to support CVD conditions. - Sandra will share one of her cases, showing how these concepts translate into actionable insights and patient management strategies for your own practice.

GP, Director and Menopause Specialist at The Carriage House Clinic and Oxford Menopause.
🥳 🎉 Great news about a new medication that will be available in the NHS soon, Abaloparatide, to treat post-menopausal osteoporosis, providing more choice for women with osteoporosis.💊 This medication stimulates bone formation, improving bone density and reducing the risk of fractures. The International Osteoporosis Foundation in 2019 estimated around 22% of women over 50 having osteoporosis which significantly increases the risk of fracture, particularly fractures in the hip and spine. Oestrogen has a key role in maintaining bone health, after menopause our risk of bone density loss increases and HRT has a significant role in improving bone density and reducing the risk of bone density loss. You can also optimise your bone health in a number of ways throughout life, ensuring you maintain a healthy weight, minimise alcohol, don’t smoke, undertake regular weight bearing exercise and have a diet rich in calcium and consider taking Vitamin D if appropriate (1000iu daily as supplement is recommended for postmenopausal women). Some key risk factors for osteoporosis are having a previous fracture yourself, a history of hip fracture in either parent, having an early menopause (<45) and not taking HRT, the use of steroids orally (e.g. prednisolone), smoking, alcohol and a variety of other medical issues. If you think you may be at risk, please consult your doctor who can undertake a fracture risk assessment and advise. Get in touch with us today to find out how we can help tackle your menopause symptoms at oxfordmenopause.com or call us on 01235 634606.
