"Why Is My Body Holding Onto Fat Like a Bad Ex? – The Menopause Weight Gain Mystery"
One day, your jeans fit. The next, they refuse to button. What gives?! If menopause feels like your metabolism suddenly hit the brakes, you’re not imagining it. Your hormones are shifting, and your body is doing everything it can to hold onto weight—especially in your belly!
What’s Actually Happening?
🛑 Less Estrogen = More Fat Storage: Your body redirects fat to the midsection (ugh).
🛑 Slower Metabolism: Your calorie burn drops, meaning you gain weight eating the same foods you always did.
🛑 Increased Cortisol: Stress + menopause = stubborn belly fat (blame the hormone cortisol).
How to Stop the Weight Gain Spiral
✔ Balance Your Hormones – Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) restores balance, easing weight gain, mood swings, and hot flashes.
✔ Move Differently – Strength training boosts muscle & metabolism so you burn more calories even at rest.
✔ Consider GLP-1 Therapy – Semaglutide & Tirzepatide help regulate hunger & fat loss, making weight loss easier.
