Let’s talk about perimenopause fat gain because I think some of us need a little tough love.
Yes, our hormones are changing. Estrogen and progesterone fluctuate, our bodies start storing fat differently, and the things that worked for us in our 20s and 30s might not work quite the same way anymore.
I’m going through it, too, so I get it!
But I see so many women who have convinced themselves that their hormones are the reason they can’t lose body fat. They’ve accepted that gaining weight is just part of getting older, and they’ve stopped looking at all the things they could actually be doing to improve their situation.
And I think that’s selling ourselves short.
In this episode, I’m breaking down 14 things we can do to make fat loss possible during perimenopause. We’re talking about building muscle, improving insulin sensitivity, managing blood sugar, tracking our food, supporting digestion, prioritizing sleep, managing stress, and SO much more.
I’ll explain the science behind these strategies and why they matter even more as our hormones change.
Because here’s the thing: Are you actually doing all of these things consistently, or are you just assuming you’re doing everything right?
Before you decide that perimenopause is making fat loss impossible, I want you to listen to this episode and ask yourself how many of these boxes you’re REALLY checking.
You have more control over your health than you might realize, and I want you to start taking advantage of it!
