Midlife Metabolism: Unlocking Weight Loss After 40
Perimenopause and menopause can bring frustrating weight changes, but it's not simply "getting older." Hormonal shifts, particularly declining estrogen, play a significant role, impacting metabolism, fat storage, and hunger cues. This post dives into why this happens, explaining how estrogen affects muscle mass, fat distribution, and insulin resistance, and how these changes contribute to weight gain. It also debunks the idea that it's all about willpower.
Instead of focusing on quick fixes, we'll explore evidence-backed strategies for managing weight during this transition. This includes prioritizing a Mediterranean-style diet, increasing protein intake, and limiting processed foods and alcohol. Crucially, we'll emphasize the importance of both cardiovascular and resistance training to combat muscle loss and support metabolism. Gut health, sleep, and stress management also play key roles. This post offers a realistic and empowering approach to navigating weight changes during perimenopause and menopause.
