The Importance of Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy is crucial for women going through menopause and perimenopause. The decline in hormones during this time can lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, and other health issues. Estrogen plays a key role in maintaining insulin sensitivity and metabolic rate, so its loss can contribute to weight gain. By optimizing hormone levels, particularly through bioidentical hormones, women can improve their overall health, reduce the risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease, and manage weight more effectively. Protein intake, regular exercise, and lifting heavy weights are also important in maintaining muscle mass and managing weight during this time.
