Hormone imbalances can and will cause metabolic issues, leading to or contributing to weight gain, weight loss resistance, increased cravings, low energy, and more!

Sometimes perimenopause is the cause of a lot of these imbalances, HOWEVER, it’s important to note that STRESS on the body over several years prior to perimenopause can be the root cause that lead to the unwanted symptoms, weight loss resistance, and more. Stress can even dictate hormone levels that can lead to early menopause!

Today I cover some very common hormonal imbalances that impact your ability to lose weight in menopause and what to do to fix that so you can boost metabolism and finally reach your goals.
