Menopause and Weight Gain: Why It Happen

health, fitness · EN

Menopause-related weight gain is often driven by hormonal changes, particularly declining oestrogen and progesterone, which affect metabolism and fat distribution. Age-related muscle loss, slower metabolism, stress, and poor sleep can further contribute to weight gain during this stage. Managing it requires more than simply eating less and exercising more. A balanced diet, strength training, quality sleep, and effective stress management are key strategies. With personalised guidance and support, including options like HRT, women can successfully maintain their health and wellbeing during menopause.
