In this episode of Transforming 45, Lisa sits down with functional medicine practitioner and nutritionist Cindy Dupuie to talk about what happens after menopause and why women need to pay attention to their health long after the hot flashes fade. Together they tackle hormone therapy myths, the lasting impact of the WHI study, bone health, vaginal estrogen, inflammation, muscle loss, heart disease risk, and the importance of becoming the CEO of your own health. If you've ever thought "I'm past menopause, so I'm done worrying about it," this episode may change the way you think about your future health. ✔ Why post-menopause deserves more attention ✔ The lasting impact of the WHI study ✔ What estrogen actually does throughout the body ✔ Why heart disease is the leading cause of death for post-menopausal women ✔ Bone density, osteoporosis and preventing fractures ✔ The role of vaginal estrogen in preventing UTIs ✔ Why muscle matters more than ever ✔ The importance of building your healthcare team ✔ How to advocate for yourself in medical appointments ✔ Why it's never too late to improve your health Menopause is one day. Post-menopause lasts the rest of your life. Hormones affect far more than reproduction. Bone loss begins long before most women receive screening. Vaginal estrogen may help prevent recurring UTIs and improve quality of life. Movement is medicine, especially strength training. Women deserve preventative care, not just reactive care. You are the CEO of your own health.
