Recently I was having a conversation with one of my best friends and we were talking about being in our 40s and how young we feel. When I think back to being in my 20s, 40 felt so old and so far away. And when I think about how I was treating my body then… Girl, it makes me cringe. But you know, the more you live the more you learn, and this is a big takeaway I want you to walk away with today: you can always turn back the clock by making small shifts to your habits.
Stubborn weight is one of those things that just drive you crazy. But hormone changes including perimenopause, estrogen dominance, and insulin resistance radically change this. Because here’s the thing: your weight is ALWAYS a symptom of something else going on in your body. It’s the thing you see and that you want to change, but really you need to dig a little deeper.
As women, we have been conditioned to believe that the harder and longer we work out, the better results and metabolism we’ll get. While regular movement is critical for our heart, bones, brain, metabolism, hormones, and muscle, it is about the type of exercise and the length of time that really make a difference.
Weight resistance happens to so many women and it can be caused by a lot of different factors. So whether you’re just starting your weight loss journey and you want to be prepared, or if you are feeling like you’re in over your head and still not making any progress, today I hope to help you troubleshoot some of the things that could be happening in your body.
The goal of healthy metabolism is to take the food you eat and convert it to the energy that fuels your body. But unfortunately, this pattern gets disrupted during perimenopause and menopause. Due to chronic stress, a high-carb diet, and insulin deregulation, your body starts to hold onto these nutrients as fat instead of putting them to use.
