“I’m eating less… so why am I still gaining weight?”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong.
As women move into perimenopause, shifts in hormones and metabolism can make maintaining your usual weight much harder. Even if your diet hasn’t changed, your body has.
Here’s what’s happening:
💫 Estrogen levels drop, which can change how your body stores fat (especially around your middle).
💫 Metabolism slows down as muscle mass naturally decreases.
💫 Sleep, stress, and blood sugar changes can make your body hold onto weight more easily.
It’s not about eating less — it’s about understanding how your body’s needs are changing.
✨ The good news: with the right balance of nutrition, movement, and hormone support, you can feel like yourself again — stronger, steadier, and more in tune with your body.
💬 If this resonates with you, let’s talk about how to support your metabolism and hormones through perimenopause. Come and see me or book your online session.
