213 How to Minimize Menopause Weight Gain

In this episode, I break down the real reasons why weight gain happens during perimenopause and menopause — and why it’s not your fault. It's not just about eating less and moving more; it's about understanding the major changes happening inside your body and adjusting your approach.

I explain what tests you can request from your doctor, how hormonal shifts impact your metabolism, and why strategies that used to work often stop working in midlife.

If you're feeling frustrated with stubborn weight gain, heavier breathing, or faster heart rates when exercising — you’re not alone. I share how better information, targeted testing, and the right support can help you take control again.

What You'll Learn:

• Which medical tests you should ask your doctor for to get a clearer picture of your health
• How hormone changes, like lower estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, affect your ability to lose weight
• Why insulin resistance often develops in midlife and how it sabotages weight loss efforts
• Why old methods like extreme calorie cutting and aggressive exercise stop working
• How to work with your body — not against it — using a smarter, more supportive approach
