Other symptoms that arent spoken about alot

“why am I so bloody fat”

isn't down to menopause specifically but down to the impact that menopause has on our lives

and there's a Nuance there and when we start to sort of understand what's happening with

our body we can then start working with the change

our fat distribution changes

Tummy area mostly; pear to apple shape

cardiovascular exercise can actually reduce incidents of visceral fat in our belly area it doesn't mean you lose fat it redistributes. You need a calorie deficit for actual fat loss

estrogen declining it has a cascading impact on other vital hormones in our body two of those vital hormones are insulin and cortisol

Estrogen and we know that that impacts us from our sensitivity to insulin
