Today, I am excited to welcome you to AMA #13. In this AMA episode, I cover a wide range of topics, including satellite stem cells and the importance of strength training as estrogen and testosterone levels decline. I also answer many questions about hormone replacement therapy, offering general explanations and resources rather than medical advice. Join me for another information-packed AMA session. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why strength training and sufficient protein intake are essential when your estrogen and testosterone levels drop Importance of HRT for women experiencing mood disorders What reverse dieting is, and how it is more challenging for middle-aged individuals than younger people Benefits of testosterone for muscle building and executive function How low estrogen levels impact the body When should you start taking estrogen? How reduced satellite cell activity during menopause can impair muscle repair and regeneration The value of progesterone, beyond the uterus What are peptides, and why are they important? How GLP-1s can assist blood flow and immune regulation, and support tissue regeneration Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Research Links: Estrogen Regulates the Satellite Cell Compartment in Females Sarcopenia and Menopause: The Role of Estradiol (2021)/Frontiers in Endocrinology Previous Episodes Mentioned: Ep. 470 Your Midlife Hormone Survival Guide with Dr. Amy Killen Ep. 198 Dispelling Myths about Hormone Replacement Therapy with Dr. Bluming and Carol Tavris Ep. 448 Hair Loss in Women: Causes, Fixes & Expert Tips with Dr. Omer Ibrahim Ep. 463 Midlife Body Masterclass: Strength, Bone, Metabolism with Dr. Vonda Wright, Dr. Stacy Sims, Dr. Shannon Ritchey, and Debra Atkinson Ep. 406 Protein, Creatine, and Training for Menopause and Beyond with Dr. Stacy Sims Ep. 386 Muscle Strength in Menopause: Key Tests & Lifestyle Measures with Dr. Vonda Wright Ep. 456 Why Muscle Matters: Metabolism, Myths & More with Dr. Shannon Ritchey Ep. 321 Muscle, Bone & Joint Health in Menopause with Debra Atkinson Recommended Books: Estrogen Matters by Dr. Avrum Bluming and Dr. Carol Tavris
