My Body’s Changing and I Don’t Know Why: Understanding Menopausal Weight Gain and What to Do About It

Summary:
What used to work doesn’t work anymore—and your jeans don’t fit the way they used to either. In this episode, we unpack why weight gain during peri- and post-menopause happens even when your diet and exercise haven't changed. From shifting hormones like estrogen and testosterone to slowing metabolism and disrupted sleep, we’ll talk about what’s really going on—and what you can do about it. Most importantly, you’ll hear how compassion, clarity, and consistency can help you stop blaming your body and start supporting it.
