114: Why 70% of Women Gain Weight in Menopause (With No Diet Changes) w/ Cindy Topel
Join the 12-Day Weight Loss Doesn't Have to Suck Challenge!!!
This episode is absolutely REQUIRED listening if you're over 37 and wondering why your body suddenly feels like it's working against you. My guest Cindy Topel, a certified menopause specialist, just blew my mind with research that changes everything we think we know about weight gain during perimenopause and menopause. Get this: 70% of women gain weight during this transition with NO change to their diet or exercise. This isn't about willpower or "eating too much" - there are 5 specific biological changes happening in your body that have absolutely nothing to do with calories. And the best part? There are actual solutions for each one.
You'll discover why that stubborn belly fat appeared overnight and refuses to budge, what's really behind those 2-3am wake-ups (spoiler: it's not just "getting older"), and why diets that used to work suddenly don't. Cindy breaks down the science in a way that finally makes sense, plus gives you practical tools you can start using immediately. We're talking about simple changes like the morning protein habit that can improve your sleep, energy, AND workout performance - stuff that actually works with your changing body instead of against it.
If you've been beating yourself up thinking you're broken or lacking willpower, this episode will be a game-changer. You're not broken - your body just needs different support now. After listening, you'll finally understand why you've been struggling and, more importantly, what you can actually do about it. Trust me, this information should be required knowledge for every woman, and I'm honestly pissed that most of us are going through this major life transition with zero education or support.
