Are Post-Menopausal Women at Greater Risk of Heart Disease?

Menopause brings with it a series of well-known symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and mood changes. There’s also a deeper, less visible shift that happens in the years following a woman’s final period: a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease. Understanding why can empower you to take control of your health. At Juvent, we aim to support post-menopausal wellness through innovative, science-backed products. Here’s what you need to know about the link between menopause and heart disease and how Juvent’s technologies may play a role in supporting your heart and circulation.

Why Does Heart Disease Risk Increase After Menopause?

The risk of heart disease in post-menopausal women rises significantly due to several factors, many of which are tied to the body’s shifting hormonal landscape. Estrogen levels decline, which affects blood vessels and cholesterol balance. Your arteries become less flexible, which increases blood pressure because they’re less accommodating to changes in blood flow. You also may have a rise in the LDL cholesterol levels while HDL cholesterol, known as the “good cholesterol,” may decrease. Women experience weight gain and insulin resistance more following menopause, which heightens the negative effects. These physiological changes create a perfect storm for cardiovascular strain, especially in women who aren’t aware of the risks or proactive about prevention.

Menopause and Heart Palpitations

One early sign that may go overlooked is heart palpitations, the sensation of a fluttering, racing, or irregular heartbeat. While often benign, heart palpitations during menopause can be distressing and may indicate underlying changes in cardiovascular function. Heart palpitations in menopause may be related to hormonal fluctuations, especially drops in estrogen. They can also present in combination with hot flashes or night sweats, increased anxiety or stress, poor sleep, and fatigue. 

If you're experiencing menopause and heart palpitations, it’s important to speak with your healthcare provider to rule out serious concerns. Gentle movement and circulatory support can be part of a wellness strategy to ease these symptoms and support heart function.

Addressing Menopause and Heart Disease Risk With Science-Backed Solutions

When it comes to heart health, safe, regular movement is one of the best things you can do. Maintaining a high-impact fitness routine might not be realistic, especially for those managing joint pain, fatigue, or mobility concerns. Juvent created the Micro-Impact Platform® to fill that gap in the market. Our patented platform uses gentle mechanical stimulation to promote movement in muscles, blood vessels, and lymphatic channels. Operating at just 0.3 to 0.4 g’s and 32 to 37 Hz, it auto-calibrates to your body’s hydration levels and unique tissue composition for maximum safety. By encouraging healthy circulation, the platform becomes an essential tool for helping you deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues. 

For post-menopausal women, this kind of gentle stimulation may provide circulatory benefits similar to walking without the strain on knees or hips. Better blood flow supports the heart, helps regulate blood pressure, and may ease symptoms like cold extremities, swelling, or palpitations. Unlike traditional vibration plates that deliver unregulated, often unsafe energy, Juvent’s platform is FDA-registered and clinically supported. The compact, quiet device is easy to use and safe for daily routines related to menopause heart disease risk as well as general wellness. 

Additionally, Juvent’s HydroxyBMD3™ supplement includes nutrients like vitamins K2 and D, which support calcium regulation and may contribute to cardiovascular health by ensuring calcium goes to bones, not arteries. Formulated as a dual-acting system with a morning and night supplement, HydroxyBMD3™ is a unique health tool that times nutrients with when your body can use them most effectively. 

Post-menopausal women looking for science-backed tools that complement their heart health plan are turning to Juvent every day. Our unique and practical solutions, along with awareness and movement, help manage cardiovascular risks.

Whether you’re heading toward menopause or have long passed that time, improving your circulation and heart health should always be part of your routine. Make post-menopausal wellness easy with Juvent.
