Well Woman Podcast - Dealing with Midriff Weight gain

Dr. Frances Pitsilis hosted an episode of the Well Woman podcast focused on addressing midriff weight gain, particularly in women over 40 and after menopause. She discussed how hormonal imbalances, particularly declining progesterone levels, can contribute to weight gain and metabolic issues. Dr. Pitsilis explained her approach to treating weight gain, which includes testing for hormone imbalances, thyroid function, and metabolic syndrome, as well as addressing potential toxic exposures to chemicals and heavy metals. She outlined a comprehensive treatment plan involving lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, supplements, and medications like metformin and low-dose naltrexone, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying causes rather than just using appetite suppressants.drfrances.co.nzskinfresh.co.nz
