Menopause joint pain and inflammation explained in a way that finally makes sense. If your body suddenly feels stiff, achy, or inflamed in midlife, this episode breaks down exactly why your joints are hurting and what your hormones have to do with it.

In this Medical Minute, Cynthia Penner, Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist and author of The Menopause Map Series, explains the connection between estrogen decline, inflammation, and collagen loss.

How inflammation shifts when estrogen declines
The role of collagen in joint health and mobility
