About this episode

Did HRT cause your weight gain or did it expose something else happening in your body? Michele Scarlet breaks down one woman’s experience with HRT, 15 pounds of midsection weight gain, bloating, constipation, gut health, chronic stress, and cortisol. Discover why perimenopause weight gain and weight loss after 40 may require looking beyond hormones alone and why your body may need support rather than more restriction.
