Dr. Streicher’s Inside Information: THE Menopause Podcast: S3 Ep160: The Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Vonda Wright- UPDATE
Update: 2024-12-26
Description
As 2024 ends, I decided to revisit the top episodes from last year. If I were to go by my favorites, choosing would be impossible. According to the number of downloads, the two top contenders are Top Tips for Skin and Hair with Dr. Ellen Gendler and Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Vonda Wright. I am going to update Dr. Gendler's episode in a few weeks.
In this episode I am going to revisit Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause with Dr. Vonda Wright. Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon has made it her mission to raise awareness about the musculoskeletal changes that occur because of menopause, and how a lack of estrogen sabotages the ability to be active. And that lack of activity not only impacts bone health and cardiovascular health but also cognitive function.
At the end, is an update on what has happened since I recorded that episode.
In this episode:
· The six symptoms of musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause
· The relationship between GSM and dementia
· Why frozen shoulder is the number one complaint
· The relationship of menopause to osteoarthritis
· The impact of mobility on cognitive function
· The impact of menopause on frailty
· The impact of testosterone on musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause
· Exercise and cancer risk reduction
· How heavy your weights should be to increase muscle power
