Menopause nutrition and weight management aren’t as simple as “eat less, move more.” 

In this episode, menopause expert and RD Dr. Su-Nui Escobar breaks down what’s really driving midlife weight changes and what clinicians should focus on instead. 

What You’ll Learn:

  • How fluctuating estrogen affects fat distribution, metabolism, inflammation, and cardiometabolic risk
  • Why traditional weight-loss advice fails during perimenopause
  • High-impact nutrition strategies: protein targets, fiber, anti-inflammatory foods, realistic portions
  • Intermittent fasting in midlife
  • Key nutrient priorities for women on GLP-1s
