The Truth About Menopause Weight Gain: It's Not What You Think (Ep. 1.2)


Listen Later

If you've ever stepped on the scale and completely lost it - feeling like your body is betraying you despite doing everything "right" - this episode will change everything you think you know about perimenopause weight gain.


I'm calling bullshit on the scary social media posts claiming you'll lose 10% of your muscle mass during perimenopause. The actual SWAN study research? So much more encouraging. We're diving into why hormones only cause 3-6 pounds of weight gain (not the 30+ many experience), the "perfect storm" of cascading changes that explain your reality, and my MENO framework for working WITH your body's wisdom, not against it. Plus how to spot the supplement grifters who prey on our desperation.


Your ONE thing this week: Pick ONE piece of the MENO framework that feels doable today. Maybe adding protein to every meal, or a 10-minute walk after dinner. Don't try to overhaul everything - small strategic shifts create lasting change.


"Your body isn't betraying you. It's adapting, and it's inviting you to adapt along with it - through understanding, not punishment. You start working with your body's wisdom rather than fighting a battle you were never meant to win." ~Catharine
