Why do we put on weight during peri-menopause?

One of the most common problems I hear from my peri-menopause clients is gaining weight around the tummy, that just won't budge! Do you find that you're putting on tummy fat, and no amount of cardio, going to the gym or restricting your food seems to make a difference. But why is this?

One of the key reasons is the hormone insulin, and how your body starts responding to it differently during peri menopause. Around this time, due to the shifts in hormones, we can become increasingly insulin resistant. This means we need to release higher and higher levels of insulin, just to get a reaction from our cells. The problem is that these higher levels of insulin are a trigger for increased fat storage, especially around our tummy.

That’s why we need to have a shift in our macronutrients at peri menopause. That’s the carbs, fat and protein balance. Lower carb eating tends to work for many women – but notice I said lower carb, NOT no carb! I recommend favouring only fibre rich wholegrains, and give up all white and refined carbohydrates. And you may need to have some meals without any starchy carbs at all.

Uncertainty doesn't need to create worry. I've been working with a few people recently on anxiety about life changes. We all know we live in a fast changing world with constant changes to our situations, experiences, relationships - but don't forget our minds and bodies are also in constant physical flux, to say nothing of our thoughts and emotions. In many ways change is ALL there is! If we can begin to accept change as the norm instead of wrestling with it we can start to let go of the stress it can cause. Go with the flow, embrace change and appreciate the ride!

To any perfectionists out there!

Been thinking a lot about perfectionism these last few weeks and how it can really do a number on us. Can make us feel ashamed and generally not good enough. A good thing to let go of heh?! If only we could all admit our vulnerabilities and not feel like we need to hide them. After all, we are all in this together.... xx
