Episode 47: Perimenopause Weight Gain? It’s Not Just Estrogen—Here’s What No One’s Telling You [Solo Episode]

Still gaining weight in perimenopause even though you’re eating clean, working out, and maybe even trying hormone therapy?

In this solo episode, Monika Eva exposes the real root causes behind perimenopause weight gain—and why estrogen isn’t the only hormone throwing your body off. If you’ve been told it’s “just aging” or “just low estrogen,” this conversation will be a game-changer.

Monika breaks down:

• Why estrogen-only fixes like BHRT often fall flat
• How cortisol and chronic stress sabotage your metabolism and hormones
• The impact of years of dieting and over-exercising on your metabolism
• What your gut has to do with detox, hormones, and inflammation
• Why you feel bloated, puffy, and “swollen”—and how to fix it
• What your body actually needs to feel safe enough to release stubborn weight

This isn’t about working harder. It’s about finally understanding your body and healing the real root causes—not just masking symptoms.

If you’re in your 40s and feel stuck, inflamed, and frustrated by the lack of answers… this episode will connect the dots and give you real direction.
