How to keep building muscle mass ans feel great after 40s?

Change in body shape is more related to our hormones than to normal ageing.
Low estrogen and testosterone = muscle loss and increase in abdominal fat.

💧 Dry eyes during perimenopause or menopause? It’s not just your imagination.

Low testosterone can reduce the function of the oil (meibomian) glands in your eyelids — the glands responsible for keeping your tears from evaporating too quickly. This can lead to dryness, irritation, and that constant “gritty” feeling in your eyes.

At the same time, low progesterone increases inflammation throughout the body, including the delicate tissues around the eyes. This creates a higher risk of blepharitis — an inflammation of the eyelid margin that can cause redness, crusting, and discomfort.

👁️‍🗨️ The hormonal balance that protects your eyes changes over time — and understanding these shifts helps explain why symptoms like dryness or irritation are so common in women during the perimenopausal years.

✨ Supporting hormonal balance, reducing inflammation, and caring for your eyes can make a big difference in how you feel — and see.

HRT and breast cancer risk.
First of all, hormones don’t create any cancers. Cancer is a very complex disease that we are still figuring out how to prevent.
What we know so far about breast cancer is that 1 in 7 women will have it, that it usually takes about 7-10 years to develop (from one cell to a small lesion that can be identified in screenings) and that some things may increase the risk of developing it, including:
- being a woman
- getting older
- being overweight or obese
- drinking 2 glasses of alcohol every night
- not exercising regularly
- family history of breast cancer and ovarian cancer
- carrying genes that increase breast cancer risk
- some types of synthetic progesterone may increase the risk slightly (the increase in risk in this case is smaller than everything else mentioned above).
Ps. The body identical progesterone (Prometrium) haven’t shown any increase in risk of breast cancer so far.

You may never have breast cancer in your life and if you do you will most likely be cured with the many treatments we have at the moment if you screen your breasts regularly.
But you will go through peri/menopause for sure and will most likely have symptoms that affect your life and when you reach menopause you will have a huge increase in risk of heart attacks, strokes, osteoporosis and many chronic health conditions due to lack of hormones in your body.
Don’t make the fear of something you may never have prevent you from treating your symptoms and keeping you healthy for longer.
HRT is life!

Progesterone!🧠🦴💪🏼🌷☺️

This very important hormone is not only responsible for protecting your endometrial lining, controlling your me**es or helping your body with ovulation.

It has important roles in many other systems including your brain health 🧠: “The Camomile of the hormones” Progesterone can improve mental health by increasing calmness, improving sleep and cognitive functions.

It is also important for your bones, sugar metabolism, immune system, muscles and breasts. It is the precursor of many important hormones of our body.

It is crucial for an adequate hormonal balance!✨🌷

Happy International Women’s Day!

To all of us—women, mothers, daughters, sisters, workers, students, partners, wives, friends, colleagues—every version of who we are, in all our strength and beauty.

May we learn to be kind to ourselves, to honor our desires and needs, to set healthy boundaries, and to prioritize our well-being. May we lift each other up, growing stronger, healthier, and more empowered together.

We are the heart of society—the ones who nurture, support, and give. But to truly care for others, we must first value and care for ourselves. You deserve to feel good, to embrace balance, health, and happiness.

Celebrate yourself today and always! You are worthy, you are powerful, and you are enough.

Happy Women’s Day! ❤️🌷✨

💪🏼How important is testosterone in our health?
Look at the information above and you will see!
Very important!!!

We have receptors of testosterone in many systems of our body!

Testosterone levels start to drop when we are in our 20s. They usually go down in a linear fashion.

Hormone replacement therapy with testosterone has the goal to replace it back to our young levels of testosterone.
We use very small doses for women, of a transdermal (topical) cream that we apply on the skin of the gluteus or outer aspect of the thigh.

It is important to measure will levels of testosterone with your doctor from time to time.

The replacement can have many benefits including the ones listed above!!

Together with Estradiol and Progesterone, Testosterone completes the tripod of the sexual female hormones!!
