Lisa's Cry for Help: 35 Pound Weight Gain, Joint Pain, Short Fused, and Frustrated

Oct 28, 2023

The story of Lisa, a woman struggling with weight loss despite a healthy lifestyle, is our focus in this episode. Using her situation as an example, light will be shed on the often-ignored role hormones play in this process. We explore hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, the impact of estrogen on weight gain, and the importance of having a supportive community during these transitions.
