Here, a board-certified OB/GYN and functional medicine specialist explains why menopause isn't to blame for midlife weight gain, as well as how to find and mitigate the potential causes.
In reality, excess fat is just a symptom of an underlying problem and not the problem itself.
You might laugh to think that someone would clean that water up day after day and never look for the source of the problem. But we go about trying to lose weight in the same manner. By addressing only diet and exercise, we set ourselves up to fail. Insulin's job is to turn sugar into energy. It either uses the energy right away or stores the sugar in the body for later use. If you have an overabundance of sugar in your diet, your body will store it as fat. You can combat this by either reducing the amount of sugar you eat or by using more energy.
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone come second to the more essential insulin and cortisol hormones. If the body's hormones are out of balance, these"secondary" hormones will not produce at healthy rates. Low estrogen can affect your mood; low progesterone can result in a heavy period and increased appetite; low testosterone can increase your fat retention, directly causing weight gain.
