Estrogen Is Everywhere: What They Didn’t Tell You About Menopause


Listen Later

Most people associate estrogen loss with hot flashes and night sweats, but the truth is—estrogen affects nearly every part of the body. I often see women struggling with fatigue, brain fog, bladder irritation, joint pain, and sleep problems, and they’ve never been told these symptoms could be related to perimenopause or menopause. In this episode, I walk through the science of how estrogen functions in different tissues and share real examples from three patients in their 40s, 50s, and 70s—all experiencing very different symptoms tied to the same hormonal shift.

We have to move beyond the idea that menopause only affects the ovaries. When estrogen drops, the brain, bones, muscles, skin, and bladder all feel it—and understanding this opens the door to smarter, more personalized treatment.

You NEED to know:
  • Why estrogen loss doesn’t always present as hot flashes
  • The musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause: how estrogen protects joints and muscle
  • How low estrogen disrupts sleep, mood, memory, and concentration
  • The role of estrogen in preserving bone mass and preventing fractures
  • Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM): what happens to the vagina and bladder
  • Why women can still have low estrogen symptoms even with regular periods
  • Limitations of hormone blood tests in your 40s
  • How I approach estrogen therapy in women in their 40s, 50s, and 70s
  • What vaginal estrogen does (and why it doesn’t increase cancer risk)
  • Why estrogen is essential—not optional—for aging well

Estrogen does so much more than regulate the menstrual cycle—it influences everything from our joints to our mood to our ability to sleep soundly at night. Understanding how deeply this hormone impacts the entire body is the first step toward reclaiming wellness during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Whether symptoms show up subtly or dramatically, they deserve to be taken seriously. With the right evaluation and a personalized treatment plan, it's possible to feel strong, clear, and supported again—at any age.
