This week in Menopause Skool, we learned about the decline of estrogen and progesterone during Perimenopause and beyond. This decline is affecting your long-term health ~ it impacts your heart, brain, bones, and more. Here’s why these screenings are essential now:
❤️ Cardiac Health ~ Estrogen protects your heart. After menopause, that protection drops ~ raising your risk for heart disease.
Screening: Blood pressure & cholesterol starting now, then every 6-12 months if normal
🧠 Brain Health ~ Hormonal shifts can affect memory, mood, and cognition. Establishing your personal baseline early helps you identify when things start to subtly change.
Screening: Cognitive & mental health assessments in your 40s+, then annually
🦴 Bone Health ~ Estrogen loss accelerates bone thinning, increasing the risk of a fracture.
Screening: Bone Density Scan as early as age 50 depending on risk factors, then every 2 years
This is just a bit of the screenings we covered in Menopause Skool ~ so join us NOW to learn more about what you can do to protect your health. All women deserve to understand their bodies!
