✨ Why does weight change in menopause?
Around 1 in 2 women gain weight during perimenopause — often noticing it most around the middle.
This isn’t about willpower. Hormonal shifts, slower metabolism, and loss of muscle mass all play a role.
💡 The good news? Small, consistent lifestyle choices can make a big difference.
🏋️♀️ Strength training helps preserve muscle, boost metabolism, and support bone health — especially when combined with adequate protein.
Even two short sessions a week can support energy, confidence, and long-term wellbeing.
💛 Remember — your body is adapting, not failing you. With the right support, you can feel strong and well through every stage of menopause.
🌿 At the Women’s Wellness Collective, we offer menopause and lifestyle consultations to help you understand your body, balance your hormones, and create sustainable wellbeing habits that truly fit your life.
