Epic Mini: Menopause and Long Covid
Manage episode 425692529 series 3565415
Exploring the intersection of COVID-19 and estrogen as a protective mechanism to fend of infectious viruses
In this epic mini I share my personal battle with COVID-19 and the potential benefits and impacts of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) for menopausal women in managing COVID-19 symptoms.
This episode highlights how estrogen and HRT may help mitigate severe COVID-19 symptoms in postmenopausal women, emphasizing estrogen's role in enhancing immune response and reducing inflammation.
I address the overlap between menopause and long COVID symptoms, discusses the challenges of misdiagnosis, and emphasize the importance of empowering women with knowledge to advocate for their health.
I also touch on holistic approaches to complement hormone therapy, such as nutrition, sleep management, and stress reduction.
