@the_menopause_revival: Ladies.... This is especially to the women who are peri or post menopausal and your concerned about your weight. Do not take weight loss advice from women who aren't yet peri menopausal. Why? Because those women are most likely to be clueless that whilst they still have circulating ovarian estradiol it acts as a hormonal shield that buffers her from so many stressors. Your body no longer behaves that way. Also, do not take advice from men.... They have ZERO clue about women in our phase of life... when it comes to health and wellness even modern medicine has been researching more men than women. And any man who is talking about menopause only knows the standard menopause narrative... and that too misses a whole mass of metabolic science. Thats the science thats going to give you your life back. How do i know this? Because I was the one who got out of the menopause hell hole. I did it by studying metabolic health. I got my health back and my love for life back. I then became a hormone health consultant and began sharing my message. Because one thing I can assure you is that your symptoms aren't because your ovarian hormones declined. It's because your metabolism is too poor for your retirement!
