Thriving through Menopause. If you’re in your 40s or 50s and starting to feel like your body is working against you, you’re not alone. Menopause and perimenopause bring hormonal shifts that can impact your mood, metabolism, sleep, and waistline—but they don’t have to define you.
At Strong is Sexy, we specialise in helping women navigate this phase with strength, knowledge, and confidence. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn belly fat, low energy, or hot flushes, the good news is: there *is* a way forward.
Why You’re Gaining Weight During Menopause (And What You Can Do About It)
One of the most common complaints I hear as a menopause coach is: “I’m eating the same, training the same, but gaining weight!”
That’s because:
– Estrogen and progesterone are declining
– Your metabolism naturally slows down
– Sleep becomes disrupted, impacting hunger and cravings
– Insulin sensitivity may decrease, leading to more fat storage—especially around the belly
You don’t need to eat less and train more—you need to eat smarter and train better.
Why Strength Training is a Non-Negotiable in Menopause
Cardio may burn calories, but it won’t help you build muscle or support your bone density. During menopause, strength training becomes essential to:
– Preserve and build lean muscle mass
– Boost metabolism
– Improve insulin sensitivity
– Support joint health and reduce injury
– Prevent osteopenia and osteoporosis
Nutrition for Hormonal Balance & Fat Loss
During perimenopause and menopause, nutrition should focus on:
– High protein intake to support muscle and satiety
– Whole, unprocessed foods to reduce inflammation
– Healthy fats for hormone production
– Smart carb timing to support energy and insulin sensitivity
Do I Need HRT? What About Supplements?
HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is a personal decision. For many women, it can be life-changing. If you’re not ready for HRT, we’ll focus on natural nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support your hormones.
Evidence-based supplements include:
– Magnesium (for sleep and anxiety)
– Creatine (for strength and brain health)
– Omega-3s (for heart and joint support)
