2:50 PM Cardiometabolic Syndrome of Menopause: The Health Shift No One Warns You About
Menopause brings more than visible symptoms. It triggers deep hormonal shifts that affect metabolism, heart health, and long-term disease risk. Changes in oestrogen, insulin sensitivity, and cortisol levels interact to increase the risk of weight gain, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation. Understanding these changes early allows women to take practical steps to protect their health through targeted lifestyle and clinical strategies.
Key Takeaways:
• Oestrogen decline directly impacts fat distribution, cholesterol, and insulin sensitivity.
• Insulin resistance often increases during menopause, raising diabetes risk.
• Cortisol dysregulation can worsen stress, sleep, and central weight gain.
• Early, hormone-aware lifestyle and medical strategies can significantly reduce long-term cardiometabolic risk.
