The Truth About the Middle Aged Middle in Menopause | Solo

EP. 282: Join my new community: The Menopause Rebellion https://www.skool.com/drtyna

On this episode of The Dr. Tyna Show, I’m getting vulnerable and sharing what’s been going on with me over the past few months, and my nearly 20 lb weight gain that happened seemingly overnight. This was due to stress, illness, gut issues, and metabolic dysfunction that completely threw my body out of balance.

I gained 15 to 20 pounds very quickly, much of it around my midsection, and found myself dealing with bloating, insulin resistance, fatigue, and a body that just didn’t feel like mine. I’m walking you through exactly what I did. We’ll talk about why the middle-age middle is not simply a spot-reduction problem, how deconditioned muscle affects metabolic health, why anabolic resistance makes building muscle harder as we age, and why more exercise is not always the answer when your body is already under significant stress.

Topics Discussed:

→ What causes belly fat during menopause?

→ How does menopause affect insulin resistance?

→ Why the middle-age middle is a metabolic problem, not a spot-reduction problem

→ Why muscle has to come back online before hormones or peptides can do their job

→ What anabolic resistance is and why it makes muscle-building harder in midlife

→ Why more cardio can make things worse, not better

→ How gut health and SIBO tie directly into menopausal weight gain
