Estrogen and progesterone receptors exist in nearly every cell, from bone to brain to heart, so losing these hormones affects your whole body. Hormone replacement therapy helps, but it's just one piece. Diet, sleep, stress management, resistance training, and protein matter as much as the hormones themselves.
That loss of estrogen and progesterone have an impact on every cell in your body. You have estrogen receptors in every cell in your body. Your bones, your brain, your heart, your liver, your gut. Everywhere. But I could dip you in estrogen all day, every day. And if you don't eat well, manage your stress sleep, maintain social connections, lift heavy weights, get your protein and your fiber, be nice to yourself. Hormones aren't going to fix much. It's a tool in the toolkit. So everybody needs to know what the tools in the toolkit are for them.
