<p>You go in for your annual labs, and a few days later, the nurse calls: “Your cholesterol is high.”</p>

<p>Instant panic. Your mind jumps straight to heart attack, clogged arteries, or medication.</p>

<p>And the most frustrating part? You’re doing everything “right.”</p>

<p>You’re eating clean, exercising, maybe even cutting back on sugar and carbs.</p>

<p>So why, suddenly in midlife, do cholesterol numbers seem to creep higher — even when nothing in your lifestyle has changed?</p>

<p><strong>Here’s the truth:</strong> it’s not just about what’s on your plate. It’s about what’s happening with your hormones.</p>

<p><strong>Today, we’re unpacking:</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Why cholesterol rises in menopause (even with a healthy lifestyle)</li>

<li>The real connection between estrogen and cholesterol</li>

<li>What your labs actually mean — beyond “total cholesterol”</li>

<li>How to support healthy levels without extreme restriction or fear</li>

</ul>

<p>Because in midlife, cholesterol isn’t just a diet story — it’s a hormone story.</p>
