Metabolic Balancing for Women 35+
Functional medicine support for weight gain, fatigue, blood sugar issues, and metabolic slowdown.
Women in their 40s and 50s often notice sudden changes in weight, energy, and metabolism—sometimes for the first time in their lives. You may feel like you’re doing everything “right,” yet the scale won’t budge, energy crashes are daily, and your body feels different in a way you can’t explain.
These are some of the most searched concerns for midlife women:
Why am I gaining weight in perimenopause?
How to lose weight in my 40s?
Metabolism slowing down after 40?
Insulin resistance in perimenopause?
Why am I so tired all the time?
Thyroid symptoms but normal labs?
Blood sugar spikes after eating?
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it.
Why Does Metabolism Change in Midlife?
During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts affect:
-
Insulin sensitivity
-
Cortisol and stress response
-
Thyroid function
-
Muscle mass and mitochondrial energy
-
Inflammation levels
-
Fat storage vs. fat burning
Even mild changes in estrogen can lead to stubborn weight gain, belly fat, and increased blood sugar—even if you haven't changed your diet or routine. This is why calorie counting or more cardio rarely works after 40.
Your biochemistry has changed, and your routine must change with it.
My Approach to
Metabolic Balancing
A root-cause, whole-body method designed for women 35+
I look at the deeper drivers behind metabolic symptoms—many of which are overlooked in traditional care:
I assess:
-
Insulin resistance
-
Thyroid function beyond TSH
-
Cortisol + stress physiology
-
Inflammation markers
-
Lipids + ApoB
-
Nutrient deficiencies affecting metabolism
These labs provide clarity when you’ve been told “everything is normal”
yet nothing feels normal.
