Why Perimenopause Causes Belly Fat
from TCY Podcast Hosted by Jensen Morris
If you feel like your body changed overnight in your late 30s or 40s, this video explains why. Perimenopause weight gain is not just about calories or willpower. As hormones shift, your body can become more prone to belly fat, insulin resistance, muscle loss, cravings, and a slower metabolism. In this video, I break down the three major hormone changes that drive perimenopause weight gain: why progesterone often drops first how erratic estrogen changes fat storage and cravings how lower testosterone and DHEA can reduce muscle and metabolic rate You’ll also learn what to do next, including: which hormone labs to consider why progesterone support matters early how to eat for better blood sugar stability why resistance training is essential in this phase how stress and cortisol can worsen abdominal fat when bioidentical HRT may be worth discussing with a qualified provider This is for women who feel like they’re doing everything the same but suddenly gaining weight around the midsection and not getting answers.
