Feel like you are literally spinning out and going round and round, getting absolutely nowhere?
Why is that? Well, what I've learned after 20+ years as a naturopath working specifically with menopausal women is the biggest mistake we make is treating our changing bodies like they're still 20 and something along the way has broken.
We keep going back to what we used to do ‘way back then’, that would drop a few kilos in a week to zip up those skinny jeans for Saturday night.
Your metabolism isn't "slow," it's confused. Your hormones aren't "out of whack," they're different now, less of some, more accommodating of others. The result is a build up of fluid, body fat – usually the belly is the biggest reservoir.
Here's what most people don't tell you: Weight loss approaches fail in menopause because they ignore three critical things:
1. Your changing insulin sensitivity
2. How stress hormones now store fat completely differently
3. Why your body actually needs MORE of certain nutrients, not less food.
Once you understand what YOUR body specifically for you, the weight can come off easier than you think.
I've watched women lose 5, 15, 20+ kilos when they finally got the right approach for their unique situation.
