Help! Hormones, Belly Fat & WTF Is Happening to my Body? featuring Dr. Christina Enzmann

Send us Fan Mail If you have ever looked in the mirror and wondered, What is happening to my body?—you are definitely not alone. In this episode of Unapologetic Living, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Christina Enzmann for an honest and informative conversation about perimenopause, changing hormones, weight gain, body composition, and the many unexpected changes women may experience during midlife. Dr. Enzmann explains why the approaches that worked for us in our twenties and thirties may no longer work the same way during perimenopause. We discuss how hormonal changes can affect metabolism, sleep, energy, mood, appetite, and where the body stores fat. We also explore why weight gain is not always as simple as eating too much or exercising too little. This conversation is not about fighting our bodies or trying to look exactly as we did when we were younger. It is about understanding what our bodies are experiencing, asking better questions, and learning how to support ourselves through this transition. In this episode, we discuss: What perimenopause is and when it can begin Why many women gain weight during midlife Changes in metabolism and body composition The connection between hormones, sleep, stress, and weight Why old diet and exercise strategies may stop working The importance of strength training and maintaining muscle How nutrition can support the body during perimenopause Hormone therapy and other possible treatment options Why women deserve better information about this stage of life How to work with your changing body instead of constantly fighting it About Dr. Christina Enzmann Dr. Christina Enzmann, MD, PhD, is a board-certified gynecologist, a certified menopause practitioner through The Menopause Society, and a physician trained in functional medicine and nutritional endocrinology.
