๐ธ Rest & Recovery: The Missing Link in Menopause Weight Loss
If youโve ever thought โI just need to do more to lose weight,โ this oneโs for you...
During menopause, your body is under a different kind of pressure-hormonal shifts, disrupted sleep, mood swings and a metabolism thatโs not what it used to be.
So adding more stress with intense workouts or constantly being "on the go" can actually backfire.
๐ฅ Hereโs the truth:More movement is great, but more stress = more cortisol. And too much cortisol can lead to stubborn belly fat, fatigue, and even muscle loss.Thatโs why rest and recovery are just as important as your workouts and meal plans.
โจ Quality sleep
โจ Time to wind down
โจ Gentle movement (like yoga or walking)
โจ Deep breaths and nervous system resets
These arenโt โextrasโ- theyโre essential. Your body canโt thrive in a constant state of stress. It needs space to recover, repair, and restore.
And thatโs when fat loss, better energy and hormone balance really start to happen ๐ฟ
