  • Dr. Vonda Wright discusses the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and the importance of recognizing and addressing the symptoms. She emphasizes the need for doctors to listen to women's concerns and provide appropriate care. Dr. Wright also highlights the role of hormones in musculoskeletal health and the potential benefits of hormone replacement therapy. She advocates for a proactive approach to bone health and overall well-being, emphasizing the importance of mobility and exercise. Dr. Wright encourages women to be active participants in their healthcare and to advocate for themselves. Takeaways The musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause affects 70-80% of women in perimenopause and can manifest in various musculoskeletal symptoms. Women often face challenges in getting a proper diagnosis and treatment for their symptoms, with many being told that their symptoms are all in their head or simply a part of aging. Hormone replacement therapy can be effective in reducing symptoms and improving musculoskeletal health in menopausal women. Preventive measures, such as anti-inflammatory nutrition, building lean muscle mass, and maintaining mobility, can help support musculoskeletal health. Women should be active participants in their healthcare and advocate for themselves, seeking out doctors who are knowledgeable about menopause and its impact on musculoskeletal health. https://www.instagram.com/drvondawright/ Dr. Wright's Health Summit Read Dr. Wright's article here Thanks to our sponsor Sprout Pharmaceuticals.
