Most women know their hormones change during menopause.
Fewer know what that means for their heart.
As estrogen declines, so does some of its cardiovascular protection.
Over time, that shift can contribute to increased heart disease risk. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the US, and the second in Canada.
Omega-3 is one of the most researched nutritional tools to support heart health during this transition. But not everything you’ve heard about it holds up, including whether it helps with hot flashes (it doesn’t).
Swipe through for what the evidence actually shows.
Save this one. It’s worth coming back to.
If you’re a woman in BC wondering whether omega-3 is right for you or what options you have for your perimenopause or menopause symptoms, that’s exactly the kind of conversation we make time for at Elix Health.
This summer, I’m offering a free 15-min complementary consultative call for new clients. Limited spots available.
