Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause change how your body handles insulin, hunger, and fat storage. That’s why conventional “eat less, move more” advice often falls flat.
Lower estrogen can reduce insulin sensitivity and change where your body stores fat (more central adiposity). Estradiol decline can also downshift metabolism—making maintenance tougher.
Prioritize protein
Aim for roughly 20–30 grams per meal to support lean mass, satiety, and thermogenesis.
Train consistently
A mix of resistance training and zone 2/cardio improves insulin sensitivity and preserves muscle.
Cut back on added sugars and refined carbs
Stabilize glucose and insulin to reduce cravings and fat storage—especially if you have prediabetes, diabetes, or PCOS.
Include healthy fats
Whole-food fats (olive oil, nuts, avocado) help regulate appetite and support hormone production.
Eat fatty fish regularly
Omega-3s support an anti-inflammatory environment and may blunt the physiologic stress response.
Manage stress on purpose
Chronic cortisol elevates appetite and abdominal fat. Use tools like breath work, walks, journaling, or yoga.
Protect your sleep
Most adults need 7–9 hours. Poor sleep disrupts insulin, cortisol, leptin, and ghrelin—derailing progress.
