Show Notes

If you’re in your 40s and you're gaining weight and wondering what on earth is going on, this episode is for you! Perimenopausal weight gain is REAL! And in this episode I explain some of the key shifts that are happening, physiologically, to women as they move into and through their 40s that can result in weight gain.

The hormonal changes we start to experience from late 30s start to create metabolic shifts that can make women three times more likely to gain weight in their 40s. The good news is that once we understand these shifts, we can learn ways to support them and therefore reverse or prevent any unwanted fat gain.
