Removal of the ovaries before natural menopause (surgical menopause) often exacerbates menopause symptoms and places women at increased risk for heart disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline. A new study identified the frequency of hormone therapy (HT) use and factors that determine who is more likely to use hormones after oophorectomy to manage symptoms. PLUS Successful weight loss outcomes depend on food preparation. Successful food preparation requires some element of convenience. If red meat is on your menu, finding healthy sources of red meat is critical. Having access to healthy sources of red meat that’s already prepared for you is a winning move.
