How BHRT Can Help with Menopausal Weight Gain

1. Why Menopause Leads to Weight Gain

391

Menopausal weight gain is driven by hormonal changes, not just age. As estrogen drops, your metabolism slows, insulin resistance rises, and your body stores more belly fat.

This leads to fatigue, low confidence, and higher risks of diabetes and heart disease.
BHRT helps restore balance, making weight management easier.

2. What Is BHRT?

394

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy uses plant-based hormones that mirror the body’s natural estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It’s tailored through testing and supports energy, metabolism, and body composition.

3. How Hormones Drive Menopausal Weight Gain and How BHRT Helps

395

As estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone decline during menopause, fat storage increases, metabolism slows, and cravings worsen. BHRT restores balance by:

  • Estrogen: Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces belly fat.
  • Progesterone: Promotes restful sleep and lowers stress-related weight gain.
  • Testosterone: Supports muscle tone, energy, and fat burning.

Balanced hormones make it easier to lose weight and feel like yourself again.

4. How BHRT Boosts Metabolism

BHRT restores the body’s ability to burn calories efficiently by:

 – Improving insulin sensitivity
– Supporting lean muscle mass
– Lowering cortisol
– Enhancing thyroid function
