Menopause encourages weight gain, and it can start as early as your 30’s. In this video, Dr. Becky explains how changes in your hormones encourage weight gain in your lower body when you’re in your thirties and forties. And, how those same hormones cause weight gain in the belly in your fifties and beyond. Hormones and Weight Gain: Progesterone is a hormone that is primarily produced by your ovaries after ovulation. Estrogen is produced by your ovaries all month long, but can also be produced by your fat cells. You can enter early perimenopause in your 30’s. In this stage, it’s not unusual to skip ovulation a few times a year. The missed ovulation means there is less progesterone produced, which leads to a condition called estrogen dominance. A symptom of estrogen dominance is weight gain in the hips and thighs. Menopause and Belly Fat As you age, your period becomes increasingly irregular, and then stops when you reach menopause. At and beyond menopause, both estrogen and progesterone are low. Your body tries to get more estrogen from your fat cells by encouraging fat production. Metabolic shifts caused by the low estrogen levels, shift your fat storage from your lower body to your belly, resulting in the menopausal belly fat that is a problem for many post-menopausal women. Do you want to fight back against menopausal belly fat?
