Have you noticed that what used to work… suddenly doesn’t anymore?
You’re eating the same, moving the same, doing your best — yet your body feels different. Softer. Heavier around the middle. Less responsive. And quietly frustrating.
In this episode of Fit and Fabulous, I’m unpacking one hormone that changes everything in midlife: oestrogen.
We’ll explore:
- Why oestrogen affects far more than fertility — including muscle, inflammation, stress, gut health, and fat storage
- Why menopause weight gain isn’t a lack of discipline, motivation, or willpower
- And why doing the same things as before menopause can no longer give you the same results
Using a simple (and very human) story, I’ll explain what’s really happening inside your body — and why the solution isn’t trying harder, but doing things differently.
If you’ve ever thought “What is wrong with me?” — this episode is for you.
Nothing is wrong with you. Your body has changed. And once you understand why, everything becomes easier.
