Managing Weight During Menopause with Aesthetica Med Spa: Your Guide to Hormonal Health, Pellets, and Biote

Menopause

Managing Weight During Menopause with Aesthetica Med Spa

One day, your clothes fit perfectly and the next, they feel tight. Next thing you know the scale shows a number you have not seen before. Sound familiar? During Menopause many women experience weight gain, even if their diet and exercise habits haven’t changed. It can be discouraging, but you’re not alone.

Menopause brings substantial hormonal changes that can impact metabolism, fat distribution, and even muscle mass. While weight gain may seem unavoidable, understanding its causes can help you take charge. Let’s dive into the factors behind menopausal weight gain and how Aesthetica Med Spa can support you in managing it effectively.

Why Menopause Causes Weight Gain

Menopause leads to weight gain due to several factors:

  • Slower Metabolism: Aging slows metabolism, causing the body to burn fewer calories
  • Loss of Muscle Mass: Muscle loss reduces calorie burn, leading to fat storage
  • Hormonal Shifts: Declining estrogen causes fat to accumulate around the abdomen
  • Reduced Activity: Fatigue and joint pain make staying active harder, reducing calorie burn
  • Insulin Resistance: Increased insulin resistance causes fat storage rather than energy use

Health Risks of Menopausal Weight Gain

Weight gain during menopause can increase the risk of:

  • Heart Disease: Higher cholesterol and blood pressure linked to abdominal fat
  • Type 2 Diabetes: Insulin resistance and excess fat raise diabetes risk
  • Joint Pain: Extra weight strains joints, causing pain and mobility issues
  • Cancer: Weight gain is linked to a higher risk of breast, endometrial, and colon cancers
  • Sleep and Mental Health Issues: Weight gain can disrupt sleep and increase stress, leading to anxiety or depression
