What's Happening?
At the Flow Space Women's Health Summit, experts discussed the benefits of early hormone therapy for women transitioning from perimenopause to menopause. Dr. Jila Senemar and Dr. Jaclyn Tolentino emphasized the 'window of opportunity' for starting hormone therapy within the first ten years after menopause. Early intervention can help preserve brain, bone, heart, and metabolic health by replacing estrogen, which protects against heart disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline.
Why It's Important?
The discussion highlights a shift in the narrative around hormone therapy, which was previously discouraged due to misconceptions about its link to breast cancer. Early hormone therapy can significantly improve women's long-term health, reducing risks associated with aging. This approach advocates for a holistic view of women's health, integrating hormone therapy with foundational health habits like nutrition and stress management.
