The Great Pause: Mid-Life Weight Gain

Published On: February 22, 2026Categories: Events - Active

If you’re approaching your 40s or 50s and your body suddenly feels different, you’re not alone.

Your jeans fit tighter.
Your belly feels softer.
The scale creeps up — even though nothing seems to have changed.

It’s frustrating. And for many women, it feels deeply unfair.

But menopause weight gain isn’t random — and it’s not about willpower. It’s driven by biology: shifting hormones, changes in muscle mass, metabolism, and long-term metabolic health.

Let’s talk about what’s really happening.

In this practical, science-informed session, we’ll discuss and you’ll learn:

  • Why metabolism changes during menopause
  • How to calculate your macronutrient needs (especially protein and fibre)
  • How to realistically estimate your energy expenditure
  • The connection between menopause, insulin resistance, and heart disease
  • Evidence-based naturopathic strategies to support metabolic health and longevity

If you’re tired of guessing and want a clear, confident roadmap for this phase of life, join us.
