20 | Menopause, Sleeping Problems, and Post Menopausal Weight Gain: Is Low Estrogen to Blame?
Hey friend,
Today, I’m concluding my “6 Weeks To Summer” podcast series where I unpack the 7 most common hormonal imbalances in perimenopause and menopause and how they contribute to hormonal weight gain.
Are you OVER trying to do “all the things” to lose weight while the scale keeps going up and up...and up?
Do you REFUSE to shop for bigger clothes and just want to fit back into your favorite LBD?
Are you tired of feeling a lack of energy and tired ALL the time?... while missing out on enjoying quality time with your family and just living life?
In today’s episode, we are going to unpack Low Estrogen–the #1 hormonal imbalance affecting women in menopause and postmenopause.
Specifically, we’re going to discuss:
What are the causes of low estrogen and how does menopause change where estrogen is produced?
What are low estrogen symptoms?
How does low estrogen cause menopause weight gain?
What is the connection between low estrogen and belly fat?
HRT therapy for low estrogen: Benefits vs risks
Plus, I'll share some tips on how to increase estrogen naturally including metabolism boosting foods, Vitamin D3 benefits, and the best exercises to increase estrogen…just in time for summer!
If you’re experiencing stubborn weight gain, problems sleeping, fatigue, and belly fat–especially in your stomach (hello, Menopause belly), then this episode is for you!

I spent OVER A YEAR combing through PubMed research studies, taking online courses in naturopathy and functional medicine, and becoming my own human guinea pig to crack the hormone code and create a research-based program that really worked to balance my hormones, put the kibosh on perimenopause symptoms, and lose stubborn weight–and keep it off–for more than 10 years!

What was I saying again?)... Are you beyond frustrated doing “all the things” to lose weight—but are still packing on the pounds faster than a sumo wrestler in training?…Then, you’re in the right place.:)There is a way you can balance your hormones naturally that doesn’t involve band-aid solutions like antidepressants or birth control pills (which are a BIG mistake! HUGE!)...and that only provide temporary relief without fixing the root problem.In this podcast, you’ll learn how to:- End painful periods and PMS- Improve your sleep and reduce hot flashes and night sweats- Alleviate hormonal headaches, fatigue, joint pain, and gut issues- Reduce mood swings and depression (without meds)- Move the scale on stubborn weight and belly fat- And talk to your partner about perimenopause (without sounding like you’re totally insane!)- It’s time to take back control of your hormones and show ‘em who’s boss! ...Without ever stepping foot inside a doctor’s office or resorting to crazy hormone pellets. No need to make an appointment or even change outta your PJs.Just come as you are–wherever you are–and listen in as I discuss ALL things hormones and midlife–with a bit of saucy humor.(‘Cuz laughing is better than crying, unless it makes you pee.:)---Next Steps:- Become an AYTML Podcast Insider: https://areyoutheremidlife.com/- Take my FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/HormoneSelfAssessment- Book a 15-minute Hormone Clarity Call: https://bit.ly/hormonecall- Submit a Question to be Answered on the Pod: https://www.speakpipe.com/AreYouThereMidlife- Email Me: [email protected]Join Podchaser to...
