Menopause and perimenopause weight Gain

Menopause marks the end of monthly periods, and it is confirmed after one year without having a period. Perimenopause refers to the period of time prior to the final stage of menopause and is marked by changing hormone levels. These stages come with symptoms like weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings, and changes in metabolism. At Sehha Healing Center, we are here to provide you with the knowledge and guidance necessary to manage weight loss during menopause and perimenopause by integrating conventional medicine, the Quran, and Sunnah.

Obesity and Overweight Management

How do you identify if you are in menopause or perimenopause?

Some of the symptoms seen in perimenopausal women are irregular menstrual cycles, sudden hot flashes, night sweating, and increased abdominal weight. The menstruation period can be confirmed after one year of not occurring again. Recognizing these signs and seeking timely management is essential to maintain optimum health. 

Menopause and Perimenopause Weight Gain Causes?

Weight gain during menopause and perimenopause is caused by hormonal changes, decreased metabolic rate, muscle mass loss, and lifestyle changes. Lower estrogen levels result in increased fat storage and a change in body fat distribution. Managing these factors is central to any task of managing obesity, and this realization leads to the control of obesity. 

Sehha's Holistic Management for Menopause and Perimenopause Weight Loss

At the Sehha Healing Center, we address weight loss during menopause and perimenopause through healthy nutrition and proper lifestyles as recommended by Allah SWT. 

 

  • Addressing Weight Gain and Hormonal Changes: First and foremost, the assessment determines how menopause or perimenopause has affected weight and overall health. This is the foundation for creating care plans focused on people making dietary modifications based on the Sunnah for obesity control. 

 

  • Hormone Rebalancing Strategies Through Nutrition and Lifestyle: We highlight the importance of nutrition and lifestyle modification in hormonal balance. This incorporates advocating for diets high in phytoestrogens, fiber, and other nutrients and low in processed foods and sugars to address hormonal issues and promote weight loss.
