Many women are shocked to see their cholesterol change during menopause — even when their diet and exercise habits haven’t.
Here’s the truth:
Estrogen protects the heart by supporting healthy LDL, HDL, and triglycerides.
When estrogen declines, that balance shifts.
LDL rises, HDL drops, and cardiovascular risk increases.
This is a cardiometabolic transition, not a personal failure.
And with the right testing, coaching, lifestyle support, and medical guidance, women can protect their heart health through every stage of menopause.
