Insulin Resistance in Menopause

The same diet that worked at 35 is mysteriously not working. There's a reason.

The quick explanation

Estrogen helps regulate insulin sensitivity. As it declines, cells respond less efficiently to insulin, making weight gain (especially belly) easier and energy crashes more common.

Why this matters

It's not a willpower problem. It's a hormone-metabolism shift. The fix is different too: protein, fiber, strength, sleep.
