Melinda Gutierrez+FollowMenopause Mood Swings? They Get WilderThought PMS mood swings would chill out with menopause? Nope! New research says that anger and irritability can actually get worse as women hit early menopause. Women in this stage reported feeling way more impatient, irritable, and out of control than those with regular cycles. Turns out, these emotional rollercoasters are real, physiological changes—not just "being dramatic." So if you’re feeling extra fiery as you get older, you’re definitely not alone and it’s not in your head! #Menopause #WomensHealth #Hormones #Health00Share
itaylor+FollowMenopause Might Not Be Inevitable?!Imagine hitting pause on menopause—seriously. Scientists are working on ways to delay it by a decade or more! There’s a drug called rapamycin that could keep ovaries younger for longer, and some women are even freezing their ovarian tissue to use later. This could mean more years of natural hormones, fertility, and protection from stuff like bone loss and heart disease. It’s not just sci-fi anymore, but there are risks and big questions, too. Would you try it? #Menopause #WomensHealth #ScienceNews #Health71Share
Kristi Key+FollowStress & Menopause: A Surprising Alzheimer’s LinkMidlife stress might do more than just gray your hair—new research says high cortisol (the stress hormone) in post-menopausal women is linked to more Alzheimer’s-causing amyloid in the brain.

Melinda Gutierrez+FollowEstrogen Therapy’s Heart Health SurpriseTurns out, estrogen-based hormone therapy might actually help your heart if you’re postmenopausal! A new study found that women who took estrogen (alone or with progestin) saw better cholesterol numbers and other heart-friendly changes.

It’s not FDA-approved for heart protection yet, but this could be a game-changer for women weighing hormone therapy options.
