E117 | Your Body Is Changing, Not Failing: A Guide to Perimenopause Weight Management
Manage episode 494990582 series 3533932
Today, the dream team of Laken and Lindsey are back in action discussing the hoopla around perimenopause. Ladies, weight gain after 40 isn't about laziness; it's a physiological response to hormone changes as we enter this season of life. It's common to see women gain approximately three pounds per year in perimenopause.
Here's a sneak peek at what you'll learn in today's show:
• Perimenopause is a 5-10 year transition starting in late 30s/early 40s
• Perimenopause is the time before menopause (which is just one day when you've gone 12 months without a period)
• Estrogen affects more than reproduction; it impacts blood sugar, muscle, energy, gut health, and brain function
• Muscle loss in perimenopause significantly reduces metabolism
The ladies discuss the 7 root causes of weight gain after 40 and what you can do to prevent those unwanted love handles and low energy, and make these years your absolute best.
