I’m Dr Rebecca Hiscutt PhD, a registered dietitian, and I help women through perimenopause and menopause by working on the metabolic health underneath the symptoms.
Menopause is a metabolic shift as much as a hormonal one.
Your hormones have acted like a metabolic shield for years. They keep blood sugar steady, keep fat off your middle and keep inflammation down. As that shield thins in your forties, you feel what was underneath it: lighter sleep, waking at 3am, less energy, more brain fog and weight settling around the middle.
Metabolic health can always be improved, and as it improves, so does your experience of menopause.
