Why Women Over 45 Feel Like Their Body Has Changed — What’s Really Happening | Dr. Roopa

from Beyond the Draft · host Immaculate Chinecherem

Why does the body sometimes seem to change overnight?For many women over 45, the things that once worked—dieting, exercising, changing routines—may suddenly stop producing the same results.In this episode, Dr. Roopa Chari, an Internal Medicine and Functional Medicine physician with more than 25 years of experience, explains some of the changes women experience during midlife and why so many feel exhausted, struggle with weight gain, experience poor sleep, or simply feel unlike themselves.We discuss hormones, stress, metabolism, blood sugar, belly fat, energy, and why some women can feel unwell even when their laboratory results are described as “normal.”Dr. Chari brings a compassionate and practical perspective to an important conversation about understanding the body rather than simply fighting against it.CONNECT WITH DR.
