And your risk doesn't just increase with age. It accelerates during perimenopause. The hormonal shift you are moving through right now isn't just about hot flashes and irregular periods. It is directly affecting your cholesterol, your blood pressure, your blood vessel flexibility, your insulin sensitivity, and your inflammatory load — and most women are never told this. In this episode, Stephanie breaks down exactly what estrogen does for your cardiovascular system, what happens when it drops, the five root-cause drivers that compound your risk during this transition, and what you can actually do about it — including what the most current research says about HRT and heart protection. This is the episode your doctor should have given you. 🧠 Not Sure Where to Start?
