Hormonal and metabolic health in women in midlife (menopause)

GYN & PERINATAL ZURICH > Hormonal and metabolic health in women in midlife (menopause)

In this podcast, Prof. Dr. Christian Breymann talks to Meltem Stropoli, an expert in functional medicine health and menopause lifestyle coaching, about the complex hormonal and metabolic changes that occur during menopause.

The focus is on hormonal balance and metabolic health in midlife, the causes of typical metabolic changes during perimenopause and menopause, as well as weight gain and increased belly fat—and what really lies behind them.

In addition, we examine insulin resistance and blood sugar fluctuations, the connection between menopause and thyroid function, and the crucial role of sleep and its influence on the entire organism.

Another focus is hormone therapy: we explain the benefits and myths, discuss what women should know, and explain the "golden window" for starting HRT—and why the right timing plays a key role.
