@drtracyverrico: If you've been gaining weight and have no idea why — please watch this. One of the most common things I hear from women walking into my office is "I'm doing everything right and I'm still gaining weight." And here's what I want every single one of those women to know: It is not your fault. Here's what's actually happening in your body: + When estrogen drops during menopause, your body becomes more insulin-resistant + That insulin resistance triggers weight gain — especially around the midsection + This is called visceral fat — fat that builds up around your actual organs + It's a metabolic chain reaction caused by estrogen deficiency Too many women are suffering in silence, feeling unheard, and being told everything is "normal." It's not something you just have to accept. There ARE answers, and there IS help available. If this sounds like you — I want to hear your story. Let's sit down, connect, and figure out what your body actually needs. Come see me and let's talk about what's really going on.
