Before menopause, women are generally less likely to develop cardiovascular disease — largely because of the protective effects of estrogen ❤️🩹
But as estrogen levels begin to decline, the situation gradually changes.
🩺 Blood vessels lose some of their elasticity, cholesterol and lipid balance shift, and the strain on the cardiovascular system increases — especially when hot flashes, poor sleep, stress, and fatigue are also present. These changes happen slowly, which is why they’re often overlooked until symptoms become more noticeable.
That’s exactly why it’s important not to wait for obvious warning signs ☝️
Menopause is a time when understanding what’s happening inside the body becomes especially important.
A comprehensive evaluation can help assess hormonal balance, cardiovascular health, inflammation levels, and other risk factors before they become bigger problems 🤓
