Medically reviewed by: 

Menopause isn’t just a phase—it’s a seismic shift that affects every organ system in your body. Understanding how the drop in estrogen impacts your brain, bones, hair, and heart can empower you to protect your health, today and in the future.

‍

Estrogen impacts your:

‍

1. Brain health

Nearly two-thirds of Alzheimer's cases affect women, and some studies suggest that the drop in estrogen during menopause may play a role.

‍

‍

‍

2. Bone health

Menopause accelerates bone loss, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. HRT (an FDA-approved medication for the prevention of bone loss) helps prevent and reduce fractures.

‍

‍

‍

3. Heart health

Menopause can bring changes that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Estrogen is crucial in maintaining cardiovascular health and protecting against cholesterol buildup, cardiac fibrosis, and oxidative stress.
