In this episode of Menopause Unscripted, I’m diving into a topic that I know resonates with so many of you—why too much cardio isn’t helping you lose weight during menopause.  You’ve probably been told over and over again that cardio is the key to burning fat.  You may have spent countless hours pounding away on the treadmill, attending HIIT classes, and pushing yourself to the limit, yet seeing no results or worse, watching that stubborn belly fat increase. I know how demotivating that can be.  But here’s the thing: during perimenopause and menopause, our bodies simply don’t respond to exercise the way they used to.  The hormonal changes—particularly the decline in oestrogen and progesterone—slow our metabolism and raise cortisol levels (the stress hormone).  And guess what? Too much cardio only heightens those cortisol levels, leading to increased fat storage, especially around your midsection.  It’s no wonder you feel stuck! In this episode, I’ll share my own personal journey with this.  From battling unexpected weight gain during my perimenopause years to transforming my body by shifting away from excessive cardio.  I’ll also reveal what over 500 women in my Meno-Fit Fat Loss Method have discovered—strength training, not endless cardio, is the secret to fat loss, boosting metabolism, and achieving that toned, sculpted body we all crave. Tune in to find out why focusing on strength, recovery, and balance is the smartest way to navigate menopause, and learn how to build a personalised wellbeing calendar that works for you.  Plus, I’ll talk about why lifting weights is key to maintaining muscle mass, joint health, and even preventing osteoporosis. Trust me, if you’ve been frustrated with your fitness routine and struggling to see results, this episode will be a game-changer.  Click play to learn how to work smarter, not harder, and finally achieve the transformation you deserve!
