In this episode, I discuss the role of estrogen in weight management. I explain how estrogen, a hormone essential for regulating reproductive functions, also influences fat storage, metabolism, appetite, and muscle maintenance. I also cover how estrogen fluctuates throughout a woman’s life—from puberty to menopause—and its effects on fat distribution, particularly around the hips and abdomen. In men, elevated estrogen levels can lead to weight gain, reduced libido, and other health issues. Lastly, I provide practical tips for managing weight during hormonal changes, such as strength training, maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and prioritizing sleep.
