Am I in Perimenopause? How to Tell: Hormones, Belly Fat & Metabolism - Day 62

Am I in perimenopause? How can I tell? Why am I gaining belly fat even though I haven't changed how I eat or exercise?In Day 62 of the Body Recomposition Revolution, we're breaking down what perimenopause actually is, why it is better understood as a period of hormonal variability rather than simply “low estrogen,” and why one random hormone blood test may not give you a clear yes-or-no answer.We also cover why your body can start looking different even when your weight barely changes, including shifts in belly fat, muscle mass, metabolism, sleep, recovery and fat distribution during the menopausal transition.Most importantly, this episode explains why perimenopause does not mean you're powerless over your body composition. Strength training, protein, daily movement, cardio, sleep and tracking your own patterns still matter enormously.TODAY'S RECOMP TARGETSTRACK: Cycle, sleep, symptoms and training patterns.PROTEIN: Get 25–40g of high-quality protein at 3 meals.LIFT: Put your next strength workout on the calendar.READY TO TAKE ACTION?💪 WORKOUTS: Ready to build muscle while losing fat?
