# Hormones Won't Weight

Your metabolism changed — and nobody told you why. Weight that won't budge, insulin resistance you didn't know you had, cholesterol numbers that shifted overnight. This guide walks you through the metabolic changes of perimenopause and menopause, explains the science behind each one, and gives you a clear framework for what to track and when to seek care.
