Chaos to Calm
Why your weight loss has stalled in perimenopause (and how to fix it)
Think your body is betraying you because you’re doing ‘all the right things’, but nothing is shifting from your belly?
It’s not your fault — the right things probably aren’t the right things for your perimenopausal body - AND there’s your weight set point. Your body’s weight set point - the range it feels most safe and comfortable at could be the hidden culprit keeping you from shedding that stubborn weight.
In this episode, we uncover the science behind the weight set point and why it can be so tough to move past it during perimenopause. Understanding this concept is key to breaking free from the frustration of yo-yo dieting and learning how to work with your body, not against it.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn how your weight set point works and why it feels like your body is stuck. Discover how hormonal changes, stress, and past dieting habits impact your metabolism and why traditional dieting methods might be sabotaging your efforts.
- Find out what might be driving your cravings and making weight loss feel impossible. Understand how appetite hormones like leptin and ghrelin, influenced by your body’s weight set point, play a role in hunger and satiety, pushing you towards those high-calorie snacks.
- Get practical, actionable steps to reset your weight set point naturally. This isn’t about restrictive diets or punishing workouts. It's about making sustainable changes that support your body’s unique needs during perimenopause, helping you feel in control and at peace with your body.
‘Sneak Peek’: "Your body really fiercely defends your weight set point… If you drop below your weight set point, then you might get to a point where you're just driven to eat and keep eating, and feel like you can't stop and out of control."
It’s time to stop fighting against your biochemistry, and start working with it instead. This episode dives deep into how you can manage your weight more effectively by understanding the mechanisms at play in your own body.
