Menopause and heart attack risk

Hi Vini , thank you for a great question. This is the story of my life and has been very well addressed in the documentary. There’s clear evidence from multiple studies ( SWAN and others that there is an increase in LDL and apo Lipo protein B right around peri menopause, and after menopause. This is attributed to a decrease in estrogen which improves the LDL clearance from the liver. It is also attributed to an average of 10 to 15 pound weight gain primarily visceral around the abdomen, which is associated with high LDL.
