Your diet and lifestyle did not change your cholesterol Same diet. Same workouts. Cholesterol climbing, all of a sudden..? Here’s what’s actually happening: estrogen is what tells your liver to clear LDL out of your bloodstream. Studies show estradiol significantly ramps up LDL receptor activity — literally the “doors” that pull LDL out of circulation. So when estrogen drops in perimenopause + menopause, that clearance system slows down too…nothing you did wrong. Before you let “high cholesterol” become your whole diagnosis, and start a medication…ask what your hormones are doing first. Most of the time? This was never really a cholesterol problem. #walnutcreek #bhrt #perimenopause #cholesterolcontrol
