What's your biggest question about HRT right now? Reply and let us know—we might cover it in an upcoming newsletter. | | —Ava Durgin, assistant health editor | | | | | HRT is more than symptom relief Yes, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can ease hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, but its benefits go far beyond symptom management. When started at the right time, HRT may also support long-term health in powerful ways.
Estrogen plays a critical role in cognition, metabolism, bone, muscle, and cardiovascular health—all of which take a hit as levels decline in perimenopause and menopause. Research shows HRT can: - Protect brain function and reduce brain fog
- Maintain lean muscle and bone density
- Support heart and blood vessel health
- Improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic balance
- Prevent and treat vaginal dryness
- Increase collagen production and delay skin aging
While HRT isn't right for everyone, for many women it's a way to not just feel better now but also invest in healthier aging.
