Gaining weight after 35?” It’s not random, your body is changing, and your hormones are leading the conversation. As you move into your mid-30s and beyond: • metabolism naturally slows • muscle mass starts to decline • stress hormones (like cortisol) increase • estrogen + progesterone begin to shift And suddenly… what used to work doesn’t anymore. That doesn’t mean your body is working against you— it just means it needs a different approach. Less extremes. More balance. More support. Focus on: • Strength training • Protein-rich meals • Quality sleep • Stress management Because sustainable results come from working with your body, not fighting it. Comment “HORMONES” and I will teach you how to balance them with food. #hormones #menopause #womenover40 #dietitian #healthyeating
