Estrogen and Progesterone together play a roll in your insulin levels. 
Premenopause phase (up to 10 years before menopause), brings about Estrogen dominance, which then causes an increase release of insulin. Elevated insulin levels result in our muscles becoming resistant to insulin, which in turn can bring about pre-diabetes, and difficulty controlling sugar cravings.

Estrogen dominance also causes our thyroid hormone to be less efficient. This means that your thyroid hormones may measure completely normal in blood work, but the function of it's ability to burn calories is reduced.

Progesterone also plays a part in weight gain by itself too. One of the ways is by it's effect on our ability to reach deep levels of sleep. Without adequate sleep, cortisol rises, which in turn causes weight gain.

And how about Testosterone? Testosterone decline causes a loss of muscle mass. This effects our energy levels because our energy level is based on how much ATP our Mitochondria make. The more muscle you have, the more ATP you make, and the more calories you burn.

All of these changes during midlife, result in increased fat storage, Increased difficulty losing weight and keeping the weight off.

Fortunately, research has shown that Hormone Therapy can increase your metabolism, help balance blood sugars, decrease sugar cravings, restore restful sleep, help maintain muscle mass, and thus help us maintain our weight and our figures.
