Menopause

Oestrogen falling away over several years, which affects temperature, sleep, mood and — quietly, in the background — bone. The symptoms end; the bone loss does not, which is why it is worth attention now.

What actually helps
  • Calcium and vitamin D, because this is when bone is lost fastest.
  • Black cohosh or sage for flushes, given eight weeks.
  • Weight-bearing exercise, which holds bone better than any supplement.
  • Speaking to a doctor about HRT rather than ruling it out on hearsay.
