Progesterone and Weight Gain
Weight gain during menopause is often linked to hormonal shifts, including low progesterone.
Biological Explanation:
Hormonal imbalance can influence metabolism, fluid balance, and fat storage patterns, especially when progesterone declines relative to estrogen.
Symptoms:

- Fluid retention
- Slower metabolism
What You Can Do:
Support metabolic health and hormonal balance through lifestyle and targeted support.
