Why It’s So Hard to Lose Weight in Perimenopause (And What Actually Works)

Are you in your 40s or 50s and wondering why your body isn’t responding like it used to—even though you’re eating right, working out, and doing everything “correctly”? Welcome to perimenopause, where hormone shifts, stress, and blood sugar imbalances start rewriting the weight loss rulebook.

In this video, we’re diving into the real reasons why losing weight becomes more difficult in perimenopause—and what you can actually do about it. This isn’t just about cutting calories or exercising more. It’s about understanding your hormones, your stress response, your blood sugar, and your metabolism—and working with your body, not against it.

💡 You'll learn:

Why estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol changes affect your weight
How perimenopause increases insulin resistance and leads to fat storage
Why your old diet and workout strategies may now be working against you
The role of muscle loss, poor sleep, and stress on your metabolism
Easy, actionable steps to support your hormones and jumpstart fat loss
How to balance blood sugar, reduce cravings, and feel like yourself again
