This Fourth of July, as fireworks fill the night sky and families gather to celebrate, we at HerKare are reminded of the importance of freedom in all its forms. Independence Day is a time to honor the courage, sacrifice, and vision that shaped our nation’s path. It is a day to reflect on what freedom means to each of us and to express gratitude for the opportunities and choices it allows.
For many women, freedom also means having the confidence and strength to live life fully, to pursue goals, nurture relationships, and care for themselves along the way. At HerKare, we see every day how health and well-being empower women to show up for their families, careers, and dreams with clarity and purpose.
This holiday is a time to gather with loved ones, share laughter, good food, and create memories that will carry us through the year ahead. It is also a moment to pause and appreciate the journey we have taken and the progress yet to come, for ourselves, our communities, and our country.
As you celebrate this Fourth of July, we hope you feel surrounded by love, joy, and gratitude for the freedoms you hold dear. We extend our heartfelt thanks to those who serve and have served to protect these freedoms, and we honor your dedication and sacrifice.
From all of us at HerKare, have a safe, peaceful, and happy Independence Day. May it be a day of reflection, celebration, and hope for the future.
Happy Fourth of July.

Recent studies show that men are more likely to suffer severe symptoms of COVID-19 compared to women. They are also three times more likely to die from the disease. Some researchers are looking at estrogen to help solve this mystery.
In addition to differences between men and women with COVID-19, there are some other differences that may point toward estrogen’s role in COVID-19 protection. Menopausal women who use estrogen hormone therapy are less likely to have severe symptoms compared to women who don’t use HRT. In fact, in Stony Brook, New York, researchers noticed that they didn’t have any pre-menopausal women or women on hormone therapy in their intensive care unit. Therefore, estrogen may offer some protection against the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
Hormone therapy with estrogen may help make your immune system more efficient at fighting infections.
As scientists work to understand many of the different implications of COVID-19, a common theme is that men and women are different. While men and women contact the virus approximately at equal rates, women seem to be experiencing fewer complications. They’re also less likely to die of COVID-19 compared to men. Also, because women on estrogen hormone therapy are less likely to have severe symptoms, scientists suspect hormones may impact how the infection affects people.
Women on Hormone Therapy May Have Better Immune Responses to COVID-19
Researchers are now looking toward estrogen to learn if it has potential protective effects against SARS-CoV-3, the virus that causes COVID-19. Many scientists suggest this hormone may help the immune system fight the infection with less severe effects. This may be why women are experiencing fewer complications from the novel coronavirus.
During menopause, your hormone levels start to decline. However, many women turn to hormone therapy to help bring estrogen levels back into baseline ranges to help reduce menopausal symptoms. Now, some researchers suggest that HRT may also help with COVID-19 during menopause.
Estrogen’s Role in the Immune System
Why might pre-menopausal women and menopausal women on hormone therapy experience less severe symptoms of COVID-19? This may be due to estrogen’s role in the immune system, as women with low estrogen levels also tend to have more severe symptoms from COVID-19. There is still much to learn about estrogen and COVID-19. However, many studies show that estrogen may help your body respond to infections.
Those with healthy estrogen levels may experience more efficient immune responses to viruses like COVID-19. For example, pre-menopausal women and women on hormone replacement treatment. Estrogen may influence the number of immune cells your body produces, like interferons and antibodies. Interferons help turn on the immune cells that help fight infections. Antibodies attack the germs that make you sick. Therefore, estrogen may help your immune system respond to COVID-19 and other infections.
In addition, estrogen may also offer anti-inflammatory benefits. This may help with lung inflammation with COVID-19. This inflammation may cause the difficulty breathing and lung damage associated with the infection. The cells that help produce inflammatory responses are called cytokines. Estrogen has been shown to help reduce the number of cytokines in your body. Pre-menopausal women and those on estrogen hormone therapy may experience less inflammation during COVID-19 because of this.
In a recent study, researchers decided to test how estrogen affected female mice with SARS, a viral infection similar to COVID-19. The mice with lower estrogen levels had fewer inflammatory cells in their lungs. Therefore, estrogen hormone therapy may help reduce the risk of serious lung inflammation.
Common Conditions During Menopause That May Worsen the Effects of COVID-19
Also, several conditions can increase your risk of severe illness due to COVID-19. Your risk for many of these conditions increases with menopause. For example, obesity and diabetes. During menopause, declining hormone levels can affect how your body distributes fat. Many women notice that they have more belly fat, also called visceral fat, during menopause. Visceral fat increases your risk for diabetes and many other serious conditions. Diabetes and obesity are also both associated with inflammation. This may explain why these conditions are often linked with severe COVID-19 symptoms.
Hormone therapy during menopause, however, may help fight belly fat and help you maintain a healthy weight. This can help reduce your risk for the health complications often associated with severe COVID-19 symptoms. Estrogen hormone replacement treatment can help your body redistribute fat. Also, it can help reduce menopause symptoms that make it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. For example, hot flashes can make it hard to keep to an exercise regimen. Additionally, it can help improve mood changes that may affect your motivation with diet and exercise. Therefore, HRT may also help you improve your overall health. This may, in turn, help your body fight COVID-19 if you become infected.
Hormone Therapy for Menopause Symptoms
In addition, many of the symptoms of menopause may also increase your risk for complications from COVID-19. For example, you might experience higher levels of stress or sleep difficulties. These common issues can affect your life and sense of wellbeing. They can also negatively impact your immune system.
Studies show that stress and sleep deprivation can lower your immune response. They can also increase the number of cytokines your body produces, which are often responsible for lung inflammation during COVID-19. Many women experience heightened stress and anxiety during menopause, as well as difficulty sleeping.
However, hormone replacement treatment may help reduce these symptoms of menopause. For example, night sweats are a common reason women have difficulty sleeping during menopause. Estrogen hormone therapy can also help with mood changes and other factors that may affect your immune system.
Therefore, it’s important to take care of your overall health during these uncertain times, as even elevated stress levels may affect your immune system. If you have menopause symptoms like hot flashes or mood changes, our provider may recommend hormone therapy to help you feel better. Additionally, our team can help you develop healthy habits for diet and exercise to help you maintain your health during menopause.

Estrogen replacement therapy can redistribute fat and help you feel well enough to exercise regularly.
Estrogen replacement therapy helps reduce many symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and vaginal dryness. However, it may offer another benefit. During menopause, you may notice that you seem to accumulate more fat in your abdominal area. Studies show that estrogen replacement therapy may help you avoid this issue. Learn more about how hormone therapy can help you reduce your belly fat during menopause.
Menopause and Abdominal Fat
The hormonal changes we experience during menopause can affect how our bodies store fat. While age-related weight gain happens for both men and women, menopausal women specifically may start to notice more fat in their abdominal area. Estrogen levels help control how your body distributes fat. Declining estrogen levels during menopause can lead to accumulating fat in your belly. This not only affects many women’s self-esteem but is also a risk factor for serious health complications such as diabetes and heart disease.
Your hormone doctor may recommend estrogen replacement therapy to help reduce your symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, mood changes, and difficulty sleeping. In addition to helping with these disruptive symptoms, it may also help with belly fat during menopause.
How Estrogen Replacement Therapy Can Help with Belly Fat During Menopause
Recent studies show that menopausal women on hormone therapy tend to have less body fat, especially visceral belly fat. Because estrogen affects how your body distributes fat, low estrogen levels can contribute to gaining fat in your belly area. However, estrogen replacement therapy can help your body redistribute this fat to different areas on your body, rather than your abdominal area. This is a key benefit of estrogen therapy, as belly fat specifically increases your risk for many negative health consequences.
In addition to fat redistribution, estrogen replacement therapy may help add to a healthy exercise regimen. Researchers have found that menopausal hormone replacement therapy may help the effects of exercise on body fat. Additionally, estrogen replacement therapy can help you feel well enough to exercise regularly. Therefore, if you have symptoms of menopause that interfere with your life and also notice you’re gaining more belly fat than you used to, talk to your hormone doctor about your options. In many cases, hormone replacement therapy can help you feel better and improve your overall health.
At HerKare, we provide personalized healthcare for women. Our clinic is owned and operated by women for women, and we understand the unique concerns that you may have.

Hormone replacement injections are a common treatment for menopause symptoms. If you’re going through menopause symptoms, it’s easy to see how they can affect your life as a whole. Therefore, it’s important to understand how menopause and hormone replacement treatment can affect you.
Hormone replacement treatment can help you feel better and enjoy everyday things during menopause.
Health-related quality of life is a standard measure of wellbeing improvements due to medical conditions and treatments. Researchers have studied how menopause hormone replacement impacts health-related quality of life and found positive results. Therefore, if you are struggling with your symptoms during menopause, consider talking to our women’s health physicians about how we can help you feel better and to see if you’re a good candidate for hormone replacement treatment.
What is Health-Related Quality of Life and How Does Menopause Affect It?
Health-related quality of life refers to how your physical health can affect your mental, emotional, and social wellbeing. Because menopause can lead to unwanted symptoms, menopause can negatively impact your health-related quality of life. For example, vasomotor symptoms, or hot flashes, can often affect how you go about your daily activities.
Luckily, menopause treatment for symptom reduction can help with the undesirable symptoms of menopause such as vasomotor symptoms, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. Therefore, hormone replacement therapy may be able to improve your overall wellbeing.
How Do Hormone Replacement Injections Improve Health-Related Quality of Life?
Estrogen hormone replacement therapy can often treat and alleviate menopause-related symptoms. Women experiencing significant and disruptive symptoms like hot flashes, irritability, and difficulty sleeping may benefit from estrogen replacement treatment. Researchers have analyzed how hormone therapy may affect health related quality of life for menopausal women. They found that hormone replacement treatment improved certain factors of health-related quality of life, like usual activities, vitality, and sexual activity. This is likely because hormone therapy can help reduce the frequency and severity of menopause symptoms. Therefore, if you are suffering from menopause symptoms that may be affecting your wellbeing, a menopause treatment plan may be able to help.
