Women Lose 20 Percent of Bone Density Between Perimenopause and Menopause

What was said

"We will lose 20% of our bone density in the time between perimenopause and menopause. These are profound, profound biologic changes. Without estrogen, your brain not only starves, but changes its chemistry. The heart without the influence of estrogen has 30 to 40% more microvascular disease."

Dr. Vonda Wright details the catastrophic physical changes women undergo as estrogen declines, including 20 percent bone density loss, brain chemistry changes, and 30-40 percent increase in heart microvascular disease. She emphasizes that estrogen receptors exist on every tissue in the body, making hormone loss a whole-body crisis.
