Golden Hawk Asked About 'Why Women After Menopause Gain Weight'

Gaining weight after menapause

There are exceptions to every rule, and whilst many women find they gain weight and find it difficult to lose again after menapause, this is not always the case. Is this something many women suffer from? or are our 'researchers' just looking for something else to spend money on?

As you mentioned, not all women gain weight after menopause however it is quite common. When estrogen levels drop, the adrenal glands tell the body to store estrogen in our fat cells and more of the food we eat is converted into fat cells. This fat is concentrated in the belly area during perimenopause and after menopause.
