The Truth About Perimenopausal Weight Gain: What’s Happening to Your Body (and What You Can Do About It)

Feel like your body is working against you in midlife — especially when it comes to weight?

You’re not imagining it. But you’re also not broken.

In this episode, I break down exactly what’s happening to your body during perimenopause, why fat loss feels harder than it used to, and most importantly — what you can do to take back control.

We’ll cover:
🔹 What perimenopause really is (and when it starts)
🔹 Why your usual workouts and diets aren’t working anymore
🔹 How fluctuating hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, and insulin affect fat gain
🔹 The real reason so many women gain weight around their middle
🔹 What HRT can and can’t do — and how to know if it’s right for you
🔹 5 evidence-based strategies that support fat loss in midlife
🔹 Why the Fit Positive Method works (even when other things haven’t)

🎧 Whether you're already in perimenopause or just starting to notice the shifts, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and ready to take action — without extremes.
