It helps with how our body fuels itself at rest using more free fatty acids and having a conversation between the liver and the muscle that says, you know what, we want to use these free fatty acids.

We don't want to store them as visceral fat.

And we also see that estrogen is tightly tied to how our blood vessels respond to things like hot and cold, how they will constrict and dilate.

So our blood pressure is very tightly controlled.

When we start losing more and more of these hormones, we start to see a stiffening of our blood vessels.

So we don't have as much what I call vascular compliance.

So our blood vessels are very slow to constrict and to dilate.

So it affects our blood pressure.

We see that we have a change in how our body will fuel itself.

Well, we'll see more insulin resistance.

So that means that we have an increase in arresting blood glucose.

If we don't do something, then we're going to end up in a pre-diabetic, potentially a metabolic syndrome type situation.

So if we're thinking about walking for cardiovascular health and burning some calories, we're not optimizing

the vascular compliance that we need to control blood pressure and to help with our lipid profile.

So we see a really significant increase in LDL and our total cholesterol in women who are mid to late perimenopause.

And it has to do with the way estrogen is no longer there working for anti-inflammatory properties.

And there's a misstep, a way that

we're having conversations within the system to really use free fatty acids as a fuel.

So when we start looking at all the pillars that I agree with, because I talk about it all the time, we look at physical, then the emotional or the relaxation, parasympathetic, the sleep and nutrition, right?

So if we're nailing all of those and there's a misstep and we're still not seeing body composition change, we're not seeing change in our lipids, our blood glucose,
