Weight gain during menopause is common - but not inevitable. Menopause is a time of change in our bodies, AND it’s an opportunity for acceptance of and adaptation to that change.
Dr. High was recently invited to speak at Canada’s first National Menopause Show. Today’s episode is a modified version of the talk she gave to the 3000-woman audience at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. She covers:
- Nutrition recommendations in menopause
- Physical activity recommendation: Lifting heavy, and moderate aerobic activity
- Mindset shifts to help sustain healthy behaviours
- Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) – does it help?
- Obesity medications like GLP1 meds in menopausal weight gain
You CAN take control of your health during menopause. It takes being intentional but your body is deserving of care. You are deserving of making your self-care a priority!
