    S3 Ep125: The Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Vonda Wright
    Apr 25 2024
    When one thinks of a medical specialty that is knowledgeable about menopause, usually an Ob Gyn, Family Practice doctor, Internist or maybe a urologist comes to mind. In this episode , I am talking to Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon who has made it her mission to raise awareness about the musculoskeletal changes that occur as a result of menopause, and how a lack of estrogen sabotages the ability to be active. And that lack of activity not only impacts bone health and cardiovascular health but also cognitive function. Today, we are talking about solutions to protect your bones, your blood vessels, and your brain.

    Every available type of hormone therapy will effectively eliminate hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. However, all hormone therapy is not the same.

In this episode, we discuss the nuances between different hormones and their impact on breast cancer and bone health. Why it is important to individualize hormone therapyWhy there is the perception that estrogen causes breast cancerThere is a difference between causing breast cancer and making breast cancer growThe differences between conjugated equine estrogen (Provera) and a plant-derived bioidentical beta-estradiol in terms of breast cancer impactThe differences between the different estrogens and progestogens as far as bone healthTransdermal vs oral estrogen Dr. Simon’s Article : Levy B, Simon JA.
