If your usual diet and exercise routine aren’t giving you the results they used to, and you’ve noticed the scale creeping up, you’re not alone. Perimenopause brings significant changes to how your body stores fat, burns calories, and processes food—but weight gain doesn’t have to be a given during this time. With the right approach, you can support your metabolism and maintain control over your body. Let’s explore what’s going on and how you can stay in charge of your health.
Why Perimenopause Makes Weight Loss Harder
Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause can make weight loss more challenging. Here's how:
Estrogen Declines (But Not Consistently): As estrogen levels fluctuate, fat storage can shift to the belly area.
Progesterone Decreases: This can lead to bloating and water retention, making weight management feel harder.
Testosterone Declines: Testosterone is essential for maintaining muscle mass, which helps keep metabolism high. Lower testosterone can make it harder to retain muscle.
Cortisol Increases: Rising cortisol levels (your stress hormone) can increase belly fat and lead to sugar cravings.
Insulin Resistance: Increased insulin resistance can cause your body to store more fat instead of burning it.
These changes affect more than just the scale—they can also impact your energy, sleep quality, cravings, and mood.
How We Help You Stay Strong, Lean, and Energized
At Midtowne Wellness, we focus on restoring hormone balance, supporting metabolism, and enhancing long-term wellness to help you feel like your best self throughout perimenopause and beyond.
1. Comprehensive Hormone & Metabolism Testing
We begin with in-depth testing to evaluate your estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, and insulin levels. This helps identify what may be slowing your metabolism, so we can create a tailored plan to address it.
2. Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)
Bioidentical hormone therapy offers gentle, personalized support to restore hormone balance, boost energy, regulate metabolism, improve sleep, and promote fat-burning. BHRT can help get your body back in balance during this transitional period.
3. GLP-1 Therapy for Metabolic Support & Sustainable Weight Loss
For those dealing with stubborn weight gain and insulin resistance, GLP-1 therapy can be a game-changer. It may help by:
Regulating appetite and cravings, making it easier to control food intake.
Improving insulin sensitivity to support more efficient fat burning.
Supporting weight loss without extreme dieting or excessive exercise.
When paired with BHRT, GLP-1 therapy can improve metabolism and provide a sustainable approach to weight management.
4. Smart Nutrition & Movement Plans
Protein-Rich Diet: Eating more protein helps preserve muscle mass and keeps metabolism working efficiently.
Balanced Blood Sugar: We guide you to balance blood sugar with the right mix of healthy fats and fiber to maintain steady energy and curb cravings.
Strength Training: Incorporating strength training into your routine helps preserve muscle mass and promote fat burning.
5. Stress & Sleep Optimization
Stress and lack of sleep can both contribute to weight gain during perimenopause. We offer targeted therapies and coaching to help you reduce cortisol, improve sleep, and address stress-related weight gain.
