Why Your Workouts Have Stopped Working And What To Do About It?

Why your body changes during perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the phase leading into menopause where hormone levels begin to fluctuate.

Oestrogen and progesterone no longer follow a stable pattern. This affects how your body stores fat, manages energy and recovers from stress.

What many women experience?

• Hormonal weight gain that does not respond to diet or exercise

• Increased inflammation and slower recovery

• Sleep disruption, often waking between 2am and 4am

• Brain fog and reduced focus

• Mood fluctuations and low energy

The strategies that used to work often stop working. More exercise can increase stress on the body. More restriction can make symptoms worse.

Why you are gaining weight during perimenopause in London?

Hormonal weight gain is not random. As oestrogen fluctuates, the body becomes more prone to storing fat, particularly around the abdomen.

At the same time, inflammation increases and recovery slows down. This combination makes fat loss harder even with consistent training. This is why many women feel like their body is working against them.

The inflammation link most women miss

Inflammation plays a central role in perimenopause.

As hormone levels change, the body can move into a low level inflammatory state.

This impacts:

• Energy levels

• Joint mobility

• Recovery after exercise

• Sleep quality

This is not something you can push through. It needs to be addressed directly.
