Understanding Menopause and Hormone Levels

During menopause, the body experiences shifting hormone levels, such as estrogen and progesterone. It is important to determine whether one is in paramenopause or menopause and understand the associated symptoms like hot flashes, weight gain, and mood swings. Creating an individualized hormone therapy profile is essential for managing health risks, including heart disease, osteoporosis, and colon cancer. Balanced nutrition and good sleep quality play crucial roles in managing menopausal symptoms, and there is ongoing research in menopausal health and women's overall well-being.
