Monday Matters 🎙️
Why am I gaining weight at menopause?
If you feel like you’re doing everything “right” — eating well, exercising — but the scale is still creeping up during menopause… you’re not imagining it.
As progesterone declines, sleep often suffers.
Poor sleep raises cortisol.
Chronically elevated cortisol can contribute to insulin resistance.
And over time? That hormonal shift can lead to increased fat storage and decreased muscle mass.
This isn’t just about willpower. It’s physiology.
The key is identifying what’s actually out of balance. Comprehensive lab work can help us understand whether progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, thyroid, or insulin are playing a role — and from there, we create a personalized plan to restore balance.
You don’t have to “just deal with it.”
There are answers. And there are options.
