Video Description
In this talk, I explain the essential role of growth factors—proteins that direct cell repair, regeneration, and communication—and how their activity is deeply influenced by estrogen. During menopause, when estradiol and progesterone decline, many growth factors decrease as well, driving changes in brain health, metabolism, immunity, and cardiovascular function. I discuss how this decline contributes to aging, fatigue, and chronic disease risk—and why hormone therapy, especially estrogen replacement, is so vital for protecting long-term health. You’ll also learn about the delicate balance of growth factors in cancer risk and why thoughtful, evidence-based care is key.
