Findings from the study were. 1: Estrogen works by interacting with estrogen receptors. Previous theories were that these receptors turn off in the brain after menopause. This study showed, however, that women’s brains actually have MORE receptors, not less. The brain essentially is trying to capture as much estrodiol as possible. 2: The finding of ER’s (estrogen receptors) remain active for up to a DECADE post-menopause-along with ER elevations during perimenopause-hints that the “window of opportunity” for estrogen therapy may be greater than once thought. 3: Blood tests are inadequate predictors of menopausal symptoms-or if a woman is menopausal in the first place. Instead brain ER levels predicted menopausal status with 100% accuracy. Please get in contact if you’re unsure about this stage of life, the rumoured risks and benefits of HRT, or just feeling not quite right. And I can help. @menopausefact.notfiction #menopausefact.notfiction @dr_mosconi #menopause #menopauseeducation #menopausesupport #menopausebrain
