Weight and body-composition support in midlife
Many women notice weight shifting to the midsection during the menopause transition even when nothing else has changed. Support here is about metabolic health and strength, not quick fixes.
Why weight changes in midlife
Hormonal change, loss of muscle with age, sleep disruption and stress all affect appetite, insulin sensitivity and where the body stores fat. Hormone therapy is not a weight-loss treatment, but treating sleep and vasomotor symptoms can make healthy habits easier to sustain.
What support may include
When appropriate for you, a plan may include:
- Review of labs relevant to metabolic health
- Protein, nutrition and strength-training guidance to protect muscle and bone
- Sleep and stress strategies
- Discussion of FDA-approved prescription weight-management medications when clinically indicated
