This hormonal chaos starts as early as age 35...
That's why so many women notice sudden weight gain in perimenopause..
even if they've been naturally thin for years. Worse, no amount of diet or exercise helps...why?
Insulin resistance may be totally different from normal weight gain
Unlike normal fat, perimenopause weight gain can be caused by sudden changes in hormone levels...
Such as a sharp decline in estrogen, which may regulate insulin sensitivity and metabolism...
Blood sugar spikes that can trigger intense cravings and fat storage...
Or elevated insulin levels that may slow down fat burning and force the body to store more fat.
That's why traditional weight loss methods often don't work as well for women during perimenopause.
