Perimenopause can feel frustrating, especially when your diet and exercise habits haven’t changed, yet the scale continues to climb.
The truth is that hormonal fluctuations affect much more than reproduction. Changes in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can influence metabolism, insulin sensitivity, sleep quality, muscle mass, and appetite.
Many women notice that weight begins accumulating around the abdomen rather than the hips and thighs. This isn’t simply a matter of willpower—it’s often a sign that your body is responding differently to hormonal changes.
At DermaZenith, we help women understand the root causes of weight gain during midlife and create individualized strategies that support long-term health, energy, and confidence.
