What is Methylation?
Let’s imagine your body is an enormous Amazon Delivery Service and Methylation is the sorting, packing and delivery hub.
Every item in the warehouse (your body’s DNA, proteins, and toxins) needs a specific delivery label or barcode to be processed and sent to the right destination.
Without the correct labels:
· Packages might get lost, delayed, or misdelivered (leading to low energy, hormone imbalances, or trouble detoxing).
· The system can get overloaded, creating a huge backlog (causing inflammation or weight issues).

HRT
Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of a woman's reproductive years, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. During this transitional phase, hormonal changes can lead to various physical and emotional symptoms, including hot flashes, mood swings, and bone density loss. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment commonly prescribed to manage these symptoms. While HRT can be highly effective, it is essential to consider dietary adjustments to optimise its benefits and promote overall well-being. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the dietary considerations for women undergoing HRT during menopause, supported by scientific references.

It may be beneficial that women monitor cholesterol levels as they enter the menopausal transition to assess their risk of heart attack and stroke.
