Show Notes

Why does weight gain seem to happen so easily during perimenopause, even when your diet hasn't changed? In this episode, I explain why weight regulation is about far more than calories alone. We explore the whole-body changes that happen during perimenopause, including shifts in metabolism, muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, sleep and the nervous system, and why supporting your overall health is a far more effective strategy than chasing weight loss alone.
