International studies show that starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) earlier—around age 35—can help prevent long-term health issues like osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease.

• Women in China and Europe who began HRT in their mid-30s reported better sleep, mood, and energy levels.

• Early HRT may reduce biological aging markers, according to research from Beijing’s Capital Medical University.

Simple Explanation:

Think of HRT as a way to gently restore what your body starts losing after 35. It’s not just about hot flashes—it’s about protecting your bones, brain, and heart before symptoms get worse.
