Thanks for this! I am vegan 10 years and 54 now and just starting to feel the effects of menopause but I am not getting any hot flashes, night sweats or having trouble sleeping. It’s mainly the menopause belly, weight gain, low energy & emotional 🥲 at the drop of a hat! I will amp up my soy 🙏🏻

Awe, that's a sweet view of this phase of life.

Thanks Dr K. I was vegan WFPB (including soy products) slim and healthy for 15 years before going through menopause. I had a horrible time when I went into perimenopause, with hot flushes and night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, brain fog, weight gain (particularly belly fat) and joint issues. The hot flashes and night sweats went away after a few years, but all the other symptoms have stayed. I hear a lot about how to deal with hot flashes, but doctors don't seem to acknowledge any of the other symptoms., which i have found so debilitating that I've started HRT. Supplementing the missing hormones has given me back my life. I'm not back to what I was like before menopause, but I am still able to work and participate in life again. My understanding is that just about every organ in our bodies have receptors for estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Because humans take such a long time to rear their young, women stop producing these hormones years before they die, so they don't leave defenseless offspring, and nowadays we are living even longer. Although menopause is a natural part of a woman's life, it is not something that happens for our benefit and it can be a very detrimental shift in a woman's health and wellbeing. Please could you cover menopause in more depth, including all the other symptoms (which can be far worse than hot flashes) and HRT.
