What an awesome attitude! Sounds like you are doing all the right things for yourself and your body and that they are paying off in big ways.
I do not have the sparkling-clean lifestyle you do. I am primarily a vegetarian, but not completely. I do exercise regularly. But I drink caffeine, and wine at night, and would like to get my sugar intake down in a big way.
I actually went through menopause fairly easily too, and have not yet used any HRT. My issues are coming now, a couple years past menopause, as I'm noticing things like some insomnia, forgetfulness, and drier skin and hair, for instance. Weight and metabolism do change, in annoying ways despite attempts to control them! And mentally, I can simply tell a difference in how I feel.
So it's just now that I'm starting to really pay attention to what others say about HRT. The statement that most often strikes me is when women say they "feel like themselves again." I completely relate to this and it is common enough that it makes me weigh the possibilities.
I'd be very interested if you'd come back and update us in another few months, and let us know how you're doing!!
