239 | Started HRT and Gained Weight? What You Need to Know

If you're already fighting belly fat and weight gain in midlife, the last thing you want is to start hormone therapy and watch the scale climb even higher.

So does HRT actually cause weight gain?

In this episode of The Menopause Makeover, we're digging into what the research really says about hormone replacement therapy, perimenopause weight gain, and those frustrating changes happening around your middle.

We'll talk about why menopause can change where your body stores fat—even when the scale hasn't changed dramatically—and why aging, muscle loss, sleep, stress, activity, and hormonal imbalance can all get tangled together.

I'll also explain why HRT isn't a weight-loss treatment, but for some women, improving symptoms like poor sleep, hot flashes, and low energy may make it easier to consistently do the things that support fat loss.

Most importantly, I want you looking at the whole picture: protein, muscle, movement, recovery, sleep, stress, and hormones.
