7 | Weight Gain in Menopause: A Faith-Centered Conversation About Metabolism and Walking Worthy with Alejandra Kottke

Do you feel discouraged by weight gain in menopause and wonder why your body feels so unfamiliar? Have you started questioning whether your struggles are physical, spiritual—or both? Do you want to honor God with your health but feel confused about how to do that in midlife? In this episode, I’m joined by Alejandra Kottke for a faith-centered conversation about weight gain in menopause, metabolism, and what it truly means to walk worthy in this season of life. We talk honestly about how hormonal shifts impact weight, energy, and confidence, and why menopause weight gain is not a sign of failure, lack of discipline, or weak faith. Together, we explore the intersection of faith and physiology—why your body’s changing needs matter, how insulin resistance and stress can show up during menopause, and how striving harder often pulls us further away from peace. This conversation reframes midlife health as stewardship, not punishment, and invites you to listen to your body while staying rooted in truth. If you’ve been wrestling with guilt, confusion, or pressure around weight gain in menopause, this episode offers encouragement, wisdom, and hope. It’s a reminder that walking worthy doesn’t mean pushing harder—it means aligning your body, mind, and spirit with how God designed you to function in this season.
