Our Sex Hormones, Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone, all play a part in maintaining our body weight and youthful figure.
Sex Hormones play a part in our metabolism, appetite, blood sugar control, muscle mass, and even sleep, which in turn effects our weight and body mass index.
Estrogen effects how well our bodies utilize sugars and starches. As your Estrogen declines, your body is less efficient at metabolizing sugars and starches and therefore a lower carbohydrate diet is more successful as you get older. This is also the cause of the MIDsection weight gain.
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.

Progesterone starts to literally plummet when we hit about 35 years old! GOSH! That was 23 years ago for me! I wasn't ready for that! And, if that's not enough... it declines so rapidly that within 15 years, by the time you are ...

During this time, we women have really gone through a trying time.
Not only have we been ignored by the medical societies, we have been TOLD that Hormone Replacement Therapy was dangerous and we should just learn to live with our lack of hormones and the misery that comes with it.
