It's not just your hormones: The real reason you're gaining weight in perimenopause.

from The Vital Shift · host Sarah Wood

In this episode of the Vital Shift Podcast, I delve into four lifestyle factors contributing to your weight gain during perimenopause, and how to combat them. I help you to see why 'balancing' or blaming your hormones is unhelpful and how focusing on simple, but powerful lifestyle changes will help you gain control of your weight and long-term health. At the end of this episode, I hope you'll feel empowered with the strategies you need to lose the perimenopause weight and keep it off - without feeling hungry, exhausted, or like it's a full-time job. 00:00 Introduction to Weight Gain in Perimenopause03:52 The Impact of Physical Activity08:10 Loss of Lean Muscle Mass11:24 The Role of Sleep14:00 Managing Stress in Midlife16:11 The Vital Shift Method17:48 Conclusion and Coaching ProgramConnect with Sarah on ⁠Instagram⁠Get Sarah's ⁠FREE guide⁠ - how to lose 5+ kilos in perimenopause - AND keep it off - without feeling hungry, exhausted or like it's a full-time jobExplore Sarah's ⁠Lean, Strong and Thriving ⁠ProgramBook a ⁠lifestyle roadmap call⁠ if you're ready to get Sarah's support to lose 5+ kilos and keep it off
