Are you eating "healthy" but still struggling with weight gain during menopause? You're not alone.
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Orlena reveals the hidden science behind why menopause makes weight management so challenging - and it all comes down to your gut microbiome.
Discover why declining estrogen doesn't just affect hot flashes, but fundamentally rewires your digestive system, tipping the balance toward inflammation and weight gain. Learn about the crucial F/B ratio (the good vs. bad bacteria battle happening in your gut right now) and why most women unknowingly sabotage their efforts by expecting quick fixes.
Three game-changing insights you'll learn:
- How menopause disrupts the estrogen-gut connection, making your body a fat-storage machine
- Why you might not be eating as "healthily" as you think (and the specific nutrients that can turn things around)
- The truth about timing: why gut healing takes months, not weeks - and why that's actually good news
Whether you're in perimenopause or beyond, this episode provides the scientific foundation you need to work WITH your changing body, not against it.
