Midlife Hormones and Your Body Shape
Some women in their late 30s and early 40s gain weight for the first time in their lives. Despite regular exercise and little to no change in their eating habits, their body shape changes as extra fat starts collecting around their hips, abdomen, or shoulders.
Most likely, they are entering peri-menopause or full menopause when levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other hormones shift, causing an imbalance in the system. Other symptoms, including mood changes, disruptions in their sleep and sex life, usually emerge as well.
