How Menopause Affects Heart Health

In today's podcast, Dr. Jeremy London discusses the primary and secondary effects perimenopause and menopause have on heart health. We explore how a decrease in estrogen changes the elasticity of blood vessels, increases LDL, visceral fat, and glucose metabolism. Finally, we discuss lifestyle modifications and medications that can help mitigate these effects.
