In the final episode of our MHT series, we look beyond hormones and into the booming menopause wellness market.
Do phytoestrogens, soy isoflavones, red clover, wild yam, black cohosh, magnesium, collagen and creatine actually help, and how do they compare with prescribed MHT?
We also unpack the difference between soy foods and concentrated phytoestrogen supplements, why wild yam cream is not progesterone, what to consider in women with a history of hormone-sensitive breast cancer, and why “natural” does not mean biologically inactive.
Then we step back from the supplement aisle altogether and look at the things that may matter most for long-term health: adequate protein, fruit and vegetables, strength training, bone health, cardiovascular risk, calcium, vitamin D and maintaining physical independence as we age.
Because there is no universal menopause stack.
There is a person.
And next, we move into a very different, but equally important, series: palliative care.
