Can You Still Lose Weight During Perimenopause? The Honest Truth

Why can’t I seem to lose weight in perimenopause? Is it even possible?

In this episode, we are diving deep into the reality of perimenopause weight loss and why fluctuating hormones make the journey feel so much harder than it used to.

We will break down exactly how to work with your changing body rather than fighting against it, so you can feel strong, energised and confident (and yes, lose weight if that’s your goal!)

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why perimenopause makes weight loss feel harder, but absolutely does not make it impossible.

• How wildly fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone levels directly impact your appetite, increase cravings and disrupt your sleep.

• The crucial link between poor sleep, the increase of the hunger hormone ghrelin and the decrease of the fullness hormone leptin.

• Why age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) happens from age 30 and why strength training two to three times a week is essential to combat it.

• Actionable daily habits you can control, including prioritising protein, aiming for 7,500+ daily steps, and managing stress.

• Why you should aim for a moderate calorie deficit of just 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss per week to protect your lean muscle mass.
