Menopause Weight Gain Isn’t About Willpower — It’s About Detox & Hormones
I hear this constantly: “I’m doing all the right things, but the scale won’t move.” During menopause, weight gain is rarely about calories alone. Detox pathways slow down, hormone signaling changes, and the body becomes more sensitive to blood sugar swings, cortisol stress, inflammation, and how efficiently estrogen is cleared.
Before I ever recommend a weight-loss strategy, I test how the body is actually functioning. I look at blood sugar handling, cortisol patterns, inflammatory load, and estrogen detox pathways. If those systems are overwhelmed, pushing harder with diet or exercise can backfire and stall progress even more.
In some cases, peptides may be prescribed to support metabolic signaling, recovery, and fat loss without forcing hormones or overwhelming the system. Weight gain during menopause is often a sign the body needs support — not restriction.
If the scale won’t budge and you feel frustrated despite doing everything “right,” it’s time to look deeper. I offer free consultations to help you understand what your body actually needs and map out a smarter, more supportive path forward.
