The Truth About Menopause and Weight Gain
12.00pm
Weight gain and body shape changes are one of the most common challenges, affecting over 50% of menopausal women. An average of 1.5kg per year is gained during the menopausal transition, leading to a total of around 10kg by the time menopause is reached. Most of this weight settles around the middle, the so called menopause tummy; impacting not just self-confidence but also increasing the risk of chronic diseases. It doesn’t have to be inevitable. This workshop will explore the reasons behind these body changes and how to counteract them using changes to diet, improvements in gut health and hormone replacement therapy.
