The years after menopause are vital for maintaining health and well-being. Dr Nirusha’s approach includes supporting bone density, heart health, and cognitive function through targeted nutrition, hormone optimization, and lifestyle modifications to ensure long-term vitality.
As oestrogen and progesterone levels decline, women may experience significant changes in bone density, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. These hormonal shifts can also impact metabolism, skin health, and energy levels. The risks associated with unmanaged menopause are substantial, including a heightened risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline.
Postmenopausal women experience a significant increase in osteoporosis risk due to decreased oestrogen levels, with up to 10% bone density loss occurring within the first five years after menopause. Additionally, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among women, accounting for approximately 30% of female deaths annually.
Menopause also brings with it the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause, often misdiagnosed with conditions such as frozen shoulder, joint pain, and muscle stiffness that are linked to hormonal changes. Addressing these imbalances early can prevent long-term disability and improve quality of life.
Through targeted interventions, you can maintain strength, mental clarity, and vibrant health well into your later years.
