π Why Does Belly Weight Seem to Increase During Menopause?
If youβve noticed changes in your waistline during perimenopause or menopause, youβre not alone.
As estrogen levels fluctuate and decline, your body can experience changes in fat distribution, muscle mass, metabolism, sleep, appetite, and insulin sensitivity. For many women, this can make managing weightβparticularly around the midsectionβmore challenging than it was in the past.
Other factors that may contribute include:
β¨ Hormonal changes
β¨ Loss of muscle mass with aging
β¨ Changes in sleep quality
β¨ Increased stress and cortisol
β¨ Changes in appetite and cravings
β¨ Reduced activity or changes in exercise response
The good news? You don't have to navigate these changes alone.
