Understanding the Role of Menopause Hormone Therapy and High-Intensity Exercise in Women's Cognitive Health

by Dr Stacy Sims
Oct 14, 2024

October is Menopause Awareness month with the 18th of October recognized as World Menopause Day.   

After so many years of neglect and gaslighting, women are finally seeing unprecedented attention given to Menopause; with greater empowerment over the care for their menopausal symptoms. One such polarizing treatment is, of course, Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT; also known as Hormone Replacement Therapy). ( I won’t get into the full history of the pendulum swings of MHT prescriptions; but for those that are interested on the upswing until the Women’s Health Initiative and the misinterpretation of the study by the media, then the fear around the data, to the current popular media push for every menstruating individual to use MHT as a powerful anti-aging agent.) 

Before I get a blaze of DMs and emails - I am NOT anti-MHT, but I am anti-rhetoric that hormone therapy is the be-all, end-all panacea that is being pushed around with misinformation. There are many alternatives to use that do not involve hormones and should also be considered.

On the Road with a Reason
  At the time of writing this, I’ve been on the road in the U.S. for three weeks with a packed schedule of keynote speeches, video shoots, meet-ups, and, of course, plenty of workouts (that part is always non-negotiable!). While it’s always hard being away from my family for this long, this is also the time where I get to see and feel the impact of female science and research in action. It ha...
