I recently returned from Chicago, where I attended the 2024 Menopause Society Conference. Today I'm sharing some of the most impactful insights and innovative research surrounding metabolic health and the menopause transition, specifically:
* Brain health and estrogen
* Anxiety, depression, and their link to menopause
* Bone and muscle health changes
* Changes in glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, and visceral fat deposition
* Use of GLP-1 Agonists for Obesity Treatment
* Lifestyle Changes to Alleviate Menopausal Symptoms
