(6) Perimenopause and Belly Fat: Why It Happens & How to Fix It

Vegan Iron Physiques Podcast I Fitness for Women Over 35

Are you struggling with weight gain around your midsection during perimenopause or menopause?

You’re not alone!

In this video, I dive into the science behind why women tend to gain more belly fat during menopause and perimenopause.

From hormonal changes, like declining estrogen levels, to metabolism slowdowns and insulin resistance, we break down the root causes of menopausal belly fat and provide actionable strategies to manage it.

We’ll explore:

• The role of estrogen and how its decline affects fat distribution
• How abdominal fat stores estrogen and why that’s important during menopause
• The connection between menopause, insulin resistance, and belly fat
• Tips for reducing belly fat, including strength training, diet, and stress management

Whether you’re in your late 30's or 40's and navigating the transition into menopause, this video will give you the insights you need to understand your body’s changes and take control of your health.

This was recorded as a live video on the YouTube channel, and we even get bombed by Julia, my dog, who causes me to lose my train of thought (ADHD is real!)!
