When women approach menopause, I often hear a similar comment from my clients: “Pretty sure my metabolism is broken.” It comes from the frustration of their body changing—
a) without their permission, and
b) despite eating and moving the same way they always have.

So, what’s really going on? Is metabolism to blame? Or is something else at play? Recent research offers a more nuanced perspective, challenging long-held beliefs about how metabolism works.

In this week’s newsletter, I’ll break down what metabolism actually is, explore when (and if) it changes, and share practical strategies to support your body through the menopause transition—regardless of what your metabolism decides to do.
