31. Why is it so Hard to Lose Weight During Menopause?

  • Summary

  • Can menopause really be a time of growth and renewal? We, at Thriving Through Menopause believe it can, and we're here to show you how in this enlightening episode.

    This week, we dive deep into the physiological changes that affect women over 35, particularly focusing on what makes weight loss so challenging during this stage of life.

    From the impact of declining estrogen levels on muscle mass and appetite to the redistribution of body fat, we break down complex hormonal shifts with clarity and compassion.

    You'll also hear about the potential benefits and considerations of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and the critical role of diet in managing these transitions.

    Ever wondered how Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) plays a role during menopause?

    In this episode, we demystify this key hormone, explaining its influence on estrogen production and why the ovaries' response—or lack thereof—can lead to increased body fat, hot flashes, and mood swings.

    This episode offers practical advice on getting your hormone levels checked and understanding your nutritional needs to maintain a sustainable caloric deficit for effective weight management.

    From nutrition tips to lifestyle advice, this episode offers a comprehensive guide for women navigating menopause. Learn the significance of incorporating protein, vegetables, and healthy fats into your diet and debunk common myths about protein metabolism.
