Eps 407: Why You Might Gain Weight on HRT (And What To Do)

Did you start HRT… and suddenly feel like you’re gaining weight?

If that’s been your experience, you’re not alone and it doesn’t mean HRT is the problem. Many women are told to expect weight gain, but that’s not how it’s supposed to work. In this episode, we break down why it happens and what’s actually driving it.

Because here's the thing: HRT isn't a magic fix. It's a powerful tool, and it works best when your body is properly supported. That's why I'm walking you through 5 simple shifts that can help your body respond better, so you're not left feeling frustrated or stuck wondering what you're doing wrong.

If you’re on HRT (or thinking about it and want to actually feel better), this episode will help you understand what’s going on. Listen Now!
