How to Lose Weight in Menopause Without Dieting or Overexercising
Why am I gaining weight in menopause—even though I haven’t changed a thing?
If that question has been bouncing around your head lately, you're not alone. In this episode of The Menopause Method, we're breaking down the real, research-backed reasons behind menopausal weight gain—and how your hormones, metabolism, and muscle all play a role.
Most women over 45 are still being told to “eat less and move more.” But midlife metabolism doesn’t work like it used to—and it’s not your fault.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why declining estrogen leads to increased fat storage, especially in the belly
- How muscle loss during menopause slows your metabolism
- Why you're feeling hungrier or craving more (hint: it’s hormonal)
- What to do when your old weight loss routines stop working
- How to actually support your metabolism after 45—without burning out
Whether you're in perimenopause, post-menopause, or somewhere in between, this conversation will give you the clarity you’ve been craving—and practical, science-backed strategies to feel strong, steady, and supported again.
