46 | Menopause Weight Gain - 7 Reasons Eating Less Isn't Working Anymore

Have you reached the point where you're eating less than ever, yet your weight still won't budge? Do you feel frustrated watching other women seem to lose weight more easily while your own body appears to be fighting you every step of the way? And what if menopause weight gain isn't really about eating too much at all? In this episode, I'm sharing why eating less often stops working during menopause and the seven hidden factors that may be keeping your body stuck. We'll explore the surprising role of muscle loss, blood sugar problems, chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies and metabolic health, and why simply cutting calories may be making things harder rather than easier. You'll discover why your body isn't broken, why menopause may be revealing deeper issues rather than causing them, and what you can do to work with your body instead of constantly fighting against it.
