Hormone stuff. They have done study after study disproving that hormons for menopausal women is an absolute benefit for a host of disease prevention, like back in the 80s and 90s when all that panic went on and they stopped giving it out to women or not mentioning it or saying it could kill us.

This is a topic I'm passionate about, like they spend only 2 weeks learning about it even in gynecology fields, women specialized fields so they mostly don't even know it could last 20 years and the correlating terminal damage it does raw dogging it.

I did do minor life style changes, things like sticking to a sleep schedule, taking more walks and eating less sugar (25ish percent lower that I usually did), the sugar thing just happened naturally, that I didn't reach for sweet of salty food because my energy level feels like when I was in my mid 20s. I was 37 when I just became chronically exhausted, not matter how my sleep I got, so caffeine and lollipops became my state of being.

I wasn't going to say that, and its kind of a rant into the void, but I just wanted to make it something people actually look into so they can seek care and know they don't have to listen to the fear that is still pervasive about HRT. Everyone can make their own choices and I support that. But please do it, look into it because even though I was dealing with a crisis, I realized I had internalized all the crap that was said about HRT in passing when I was a teen and young adult, it almost prevented me from getting help.
