Tried

Strength Training

I gave Strength Training a fair trial for my DEXA scan showing bone loss. Some improvement in hot flashes reduced a bit but the brain fog lingered persisted. I may try increasing the dose.

Disappointing experience with Strength Training. My bone density concerns post-menopause didn't improve and I experienced stomach issues. I've stopped taking it.

Strength Training Estradiol Patches

The WHI data on fracture prevention with HRT was actually one of the clearest positive findings from the study — absolute risk reduction of 5 fewer hip fractures per 10,000 person-years. Combined with resistance training for mechanical loading, my approach is both pharmacological and lifestyle-based. My DEXA improved from -2.1 to -1.7 over a year.
