Navigating Midlife Weight Gain: The Impact of Menopause on Health and How to Manage It
Update: 2025-03-03
Description
In this new interview from our 'Everything Menopause Series', Dr Ginni Mansberg sits down with Professor Susan Davis, an Endocrinologist and Director of Monash University, Women’s Health Research Program in Melbourne.
In this episode, we dive into the common challenge of mid-life weight gain, exploring why many women experience increased abdominal fat as estrogen levels drop, impacting glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and appetite regulation.
We discuss the consequences of this weight gain for overall health and how addressing protein intake, prioritising the right types of exercise, and considering the role of Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) can support women during this transition.
Join us as we provide practical advice for healthcare professionals to guide their patients through managing these changes effectively.
