Are You Grieving the Body You Used to Have? Why Menopause Weight Gain Isn't Just Physical

from The Menopause Mindshift Self-Love Podcast · host Lisa R. Triggs

Menopause weight gain isn't always about what you're eating. Sometimes, it's about what you're still carrying emotionally. In this heartfelt episode of The Menopause Mindshift Self-Love Podcast, The Menopause Queen, Lisa R. Triggs, opens up about her own struggle with body changes during menopause and the surprising realization that she was grieving the body she used to have. Lisa explores why acceptance isn't always immediate, how stress, fear, self-image and nervous system health are all connected, and why learning to appreciate the body you have today may be one of the most important steps toward improving your health. If you've ever looked in the mirror and missed the woman you used to see, this episode will remind you that you are not alone, and that healing begins with understanding what you're really carrying. In this episode you'll discover: • Why menopause weight gain isn't always just physical. • How grief, stress, and self-talk can influence your health journey. • Practical ways to begin moving through grief while building a healthier relationship with your body.
