## Resource

If you've been struggling with weight gain during menopause, this episode will change how you think about it. Menopause Educator and Advocate, Amanda Thebe breaks down what's actually driving weight gain in midlife - and it's not a broken metabolism. It's the symptoms that cascade, most women never connect to the scale: poor sleep, rising stress, declining estrogen, and the habits that quietly fall apart under that pressure. We also get into: - The wellness industry is exploiting menopausal women - The real story on HRT and GLP-1 medications - How fat loss is still possible in menopause - The small, sustainable changes that actually move the needle CONNECT WITH AMANDA: ‣ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amanda.thebe/ ‣ Website: https://amandathebe.com/ ‣ Apply to Join Dieting From The Inside Out Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com?utm_source=podcast ‣ Grab the Food Noise Solution Guide Here: https://inquire.hamiltontrained.com/food-noise?utm_source=podcast
