Why does weight seem to shift during perimenopause and menopause - even when nothing else changes? In this episode we're joined by dietitian Gillian McConnell from Inside Out Nutrition to cut through the confusion and talk evidence, not quick fixes.

We explore what's really happening with hormones, metabolism, muscle and stress - and how practical nutrition, sleep and strength training can help you feel stronger and more balanced. Gillian shares simple, sustainable tips on protein, fibre, colour and mindset, plus her take on supplements and weight-loss injectables.
