Could hormone replacement therapy have implications for brain health as well as menopause symptoms? 🧠

New research involving more than 183,000 postmenopausal women found that HRT use was associated with a 10% lower risk of all-cause dementia and a 16% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

The association was stronger in some groups, including women who had undergone surgical menopause, and researchers also found that the timing of HRT initiation appeared to matter.

But there’s an important distinction: association does not prove prevention.
This was an observational study, so it cannot establish that HRT itself caused the lower dementia risk. Researchers say more work—including research capable of establishing causality—is needed.

HRT decisions should therefore remain individualized and based on a discussion of your menopause symptoms, health history and potential benefits and risks.

Continuous glucose monitors have transformed diabetes care—but even powerful technology has limits.

CGMs provide near-continuous information that can help people living with diabetes understand how glucose changes throughout the day.

New research analyzing nearly 47 million CGM readings from 948 people with type 1 diabetes identified an important limitation: when glucose becomes extremely high or low, a sensor may reach the edge of its measurement range. At that point, it can indicate that glucose is extreme without necessarily showing exactly how extreme it is.
Across the four studies analyzed, 93.5%–100% of participants experienced at least one reading at an upper or lower measurement limit.

The reassuring part? Commonly used measures such as average glucose, glucose variability and time in range remained largely robust. The researchers therefore describe the main issue as a loss of detail during extreme glucose events—not a reason to abandon CGM technology.

Understanding what your glucose data can—and cannot—tell you can help you have better conversations about diabetes management.

“Eat less and move more” is often presented as the answer to obesity—but the biology of weight regulation is far more complex.

Appetite and body weight can be influenced by genetics, hormones, metabolism, sleep, medications, stress, environment and underlying health conditions.

Lifestyle habits remain an important part of health, but some people may need additional medical support to achieve meaningful and sustainable improvements.

Replacing blame with understanding can make it easier for people to seek the care they need.

Obesity deserves healthcare—not judgment.

You don’t have to eat dairy to support strong bones. 🦴🌱

Calcium is important for bone health, but dairy products aren’t the only source. Calcium-fortified plant milks, calcium-set tofu, leafy greens, beans, certain fish, nuts and seeds can all contribute to a bone-supportive diet.

Vitamin D, protein and phosphorus also play important roles, which is why focusing on your overall nutritional intake is more useful than relying on one food group alone.

For people with a milk allergy, avoiding milk and milk-containing foods may be necessary. This is different from lactose intolerance, and suitable alternatives should be chosen carefully to make sure important nutrients are still being replaced.

Not all plant-based milks are nutritionally equivalent, either—look at the label for calcium, vitamin D and protein when choosing an alternative.

At Fountain Health, we can help you understand your individual nutritional needs and find options that work for your lifestyle.

BMI can be a useful screening measurement, but it does not tell the complete story of an individual’s health.

A comprehensive assessment may also consider factors such as blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, body composition, medical history, medications, sleep, mobility and how excess body fat may be affecting overall health.

That’s why obesity care should focus on the whole person—not simply a target number on the scale.

If you have concerns about your weight or metabolic health, a healthcare professional can help you understand what your individual risk factors mean.

September is Obesity Awareness Month, and we’re starting with an important message: obesity is not simply about eating too much or exercising too little.

Genetics, hormones, metabolism, medications, sleep, environment, mental wellbeing and other health conditions can all influence body weight and how the body regulates it.

Recognising obesity as a chronic disease helps move the conversation away from blame and toward understanding, evidence-based treatment and long-term support.

At Fountain Health, we believe every patient deserves respectful, individualized care.

Could hormone therapy have implications for brain health later in life?

A newly published study found that women who had used estrogen-only hormone therapy later in life had lower odds of being diagnosed with dementia, as well as fewer Alzheimer’s-related changes on certain measures.

It’s an interesting finding—but an important distinction needs to be made: the research does not prove that estrogen prevents dementia.

The researchers themselves noted that more research is needed before recommendations can be made about hormone therapy specifically for brain health. The timing and type of hormone therapy used by participants also differed from typical current practice.

Hormone therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Decisions should be based on your individual symptoms, health history, age and potential benefits and risks in consultation with a healthcare professional.
