During menopause, fluctuating hormones can lead to: Increased belly-fat, loss of muscle mass, poor sleep, insulin resistance, and an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. On top of this, when estrogen starts depleting , it can cause bone loss, fatigue, hot flashes and muscle loss. Increasing protein intake is key at this time.
That's why it's more important than ever to focus on your health during this time!
