As we age, our caloric needs change, and we may find ourselves putting on weight while eating the same diet and maintaining the same exercise regimen we’ve been on for years. The reality is, you’ve probably lost some muscle mass, and with it the higher metabolism that burns more calories faster.
Also, hormones dictate where extra weight lands, and in midlife it settles less on hips and thighs and more on the belly.
Losing weight may become more difficult. This tends to even out at achievement of full menopause, though losing the excess may be more difficult from here on.
A weight gain of 10-15 pounds during the menopause transition is typical and may actually be protective. So, if you find you’re gaining more than you’re comfortable with, there are things you can do to re-rev metabolism and maintain a healthy weight.
Every woman's experience of menopause is as unique as she is. That's why we start with a 30-minute video visit with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist through our secure telemedicine platform. Your provider will review your medical history, family history, and gynecological history prior to the telemedicine visit.
During the video visit, you'll share your experience with menopause, starting with your quality of life and other symptoms you're experiencing (such as fatigue or insomnia).

After determing what is truly the healthiest weight for you, we will offer diet and nutritional guidance, like our Menopause Plate.
We'll educate you on mindful practices around eating, like food journaling, and fitness regimens that fit your lifestyle.
Our doctors and health coaches are by your side, answering your questions and monitor your symptoms. As your hormones fluctuate, your symptoms will change over time. Talk to your doctor about these changes and your Gennev doctor will adjust your treatment plan to match your new needs.
