Your Metabolic Health Is Behind Your Perimenopause Symptoms

from Perimenopause Reframed · host Tanya Jayne | Women's Health Coach | Perimenopause Reframed

Perimenopause weight gain, fatigue, brain fog and mood swings are not just about your hormones dropping. Your metabolic health, particularly insulin resistance, is driving most of your perimenopause symptoms and until you address that, nothing you try is going to work the way it should. In this episode I cover what perimenopause does to your metabolism, why eating less and exercising more is making things worse, and what actually fixed it for me.This is the first of two episodes covering the two real drivers of perimenopause symptoms. The second covers your nervous system.👉 Strategy sessions: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Perimenopause Reset program: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so 👉 Free checklist: https://perimenopausereframed.mvt.so/freebie00:00 Your metabolic health is behind your symptoms 01:14 Intro01:35 What your hormones were actually doing02:49 What actually happens to you metabolism in perimenopause3:24 Why standard advice makes it worse5:14 What actually fixes it10:01 My story11:44 What this looks like in practice16:22 Outro
