Weight Gain in Menopause
–Making Peace With Your Weight…. and Taking Control of Your Health!
Many of the patients that are seen by Dr. Hoffman are Menopausal women experiencing hormonal imbalances and weight gain. Most of them will admit that their weight has been an issue for them since they were much younger. Like many women, after their pregnancies, they were never able to get their weight back down to their pre-birth weight no matter what they tried previously.

While it is important to “make peace with your weight”, it is also important to remember that you can certainly lose those stubborn pounds that you have been fighting against. Many women will say that they have given careful attention to their diet and that their food choices consist mostly of whole foods, fruit, vegetables, healthy fats and lean protein. Yet even with diet and exercise, they run up against those resistant 15-30 pounds that just wont seem to drop… Their metabolism seems to take on a life of its own!
This is a very common sign of metabolic changes and the effects of hormonal imbalance, often caused by estrogen dominance. When hormonal imbalances occur, a plan of action is necessary. It is possible to restore hormone balance and improve your overall sense of well being and energy levels. Losing even 5 pounds can make a drastic difference in confidence levels and sense of accomplishment.
