Menopause Belly Fat: Why It Happens and What You Can Actually Do About It

Menopause belly fat is one of the biggest frustrations I hear from women over 40. Your body can start changing shape even when your lifestyle doesn’t seem dramatically different.

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can influence fat distribution, while ageing, changes in muscle mass, sleep, stress, activity and nutrition can also affect body composition.

The answer isn’t to punish yourself with extreme diets or endless restriction. At Heart & Soul Nutrition in Hull, my philosophy is strong, not skinny. I help women focus on nutrition, muscle, body composition and sustainable habits rather than obsessing over one number on the scales.

A Nutrition & Wellness Evaluation can look at weight, body fat, muscle, visceral fat, hydration and metabolic age, helping us understand your individual starting point.

From there, personalised nutrition, adequate protein, balanced meals and ongoing accountability can help you create a realistic approach that works with your life.

With more than 22 years in nutrition and wellness, I provide personalised menopause nutrition and weight-loss support.
