Unexplained weight gain in perimenopause and menopause? It’s not just “hormones.”
As estrogen declines, your mitochondria slow down meaning your body burns less energy. At the same time, your gut microbiome shifts, impacting inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and how your body processes hormones.
This is why doing “what used to work” suddenly… doesn’t.
The real issue isn’t one system.
It’s your entire metabolic network hormones, gut, inflammation, and energy production all working together (or not).
And when you address it as a whole, everything starts to make sense.
You’re not broken. Your body just needs a different strategy.
