Weight Gain in Menopause

The menopause is a time of change. One of the biggest changes that many women experience is weight gain.

You might have gained weight despite your best efforts to exercise regularly and pay attention to your nutrition, especially in the hard to lose Meno-Belly region. But the issue is the former weight loss strategies that used to work for you typically cease working once you enter menopause.

Women's hormone levels begin to fluctuate in their early 40s. Along with other variables, these hormonal changes play a big part in menopause weight gain. As women progress through menopause, they may gain weight for a variety of causes (often a mix of these).

  • Lowered Thyroid Function
  • Insulin Resistance
  • Stress
  • Oestrogen Receptors
  • Dietary Choices

The good news is that you can shed those excess kilos, but it will require some effort on your part. Understanding how your body functions can help you take the actions that will have the biggest impact.

You may have noticed that not everyone responds well to a particular diet. On a ketogenic diet, some women will thrive while others may find it difficult. Everyone is unique, so as your body changes your need changes. The secret to discovering to lose your meno-belly is understanding your genetic profile.

Finding out your unique genetic HealthTypeTM makes losing weight simple. You will learn the right foods to consume, the perfect times to eat them, how to exercise properly, when to sleep well, and more. Following your individual HealthTypeTM will:

  • Reduce insulin resistance
  • Improve thyroid function
  • Reduce stress on your body
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Rebalance hormones

This will minimize your discomfort and reduce your menopausal belly.
