The menopause transition changes everything—including body composition. A study following 1,200 women across menopause found a steady increase in weight and BMI but a significant loss of muscle mass, replaced by an increase in body fat. And this shift was nearly universal. Why does this happen? Hormonal changes—especially declining estrogen—affect metabolism, muscle maintenance, and fat distribution. It’s not just about eating less or exercising more; it’s about understanding how our bodies are changing and what we can do to support them. Let’s talk about what this means and how to take action. The New Menopause is available everywhere you can buy books and has in-depth discussions about nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and solutions to combat this very real and hormonally driven issue! #Menopause #Perimenopause #DrMaryClaire #TheNewMenopause”
