I spend a lot of time and energy discussing the role of estrogen in menopausal symptoms. However, it occurred to me recently that readers might not truly understand the distinction between pre and post menopause and how estrogen levels interact with the body to cause a host of issues.
A few months ago, the Endocrine Society sent me an infographic that does a great job distilling this topic down to an understandable level. While I typically stay away from infographics, I like this for a number of reasons, including the fact that it is from a reputable source — the Hormone Health Network.
