Hi, I'm doctor Karen Mann.

00:00:03.795 --> 00:00:05.296
Thanks for joining me.

00:00:05.296 --> 00:00:07.173
Did you know that up to 70%

00:00:07.173 --> 00:00:08.174
of menopausal women

00:00:08.174 --> 00:00:09.551
experienced weight gain?

00:00:09.551 --> 00:00:10.719
They also lose, on average,

00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:12.053
3 to 8% of their muscle

00:00:12.053 --> 00:00:13.221
mass per decade,

00:00:13.221 --> 00:00:14.973
even if their diet and exercise habits

00:00:14.973 --> 00:00:15.932
stay the same.

00:00:15.932 --> 00:00:17.100
This is because estrogen

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:17.976
levels are reduced

00:00:17.976 --> 00:00:18.852
during menopause,

00:00:18.852 --> 00:00:20.562
and estrogen loss leads to fat

00:00:20.562 --> 00:00:22.272
being stored around the abdomen.

00:00:22.272 --> 00:00:23.481
This can trigger metabolic

00:00:23.481 --> 00:00:24.983
changes, causing weight gain

00:00:24.983 --> 00:00:26.860
and making weight loss more challenging.

00:00:26.860 --> 00:00:28.695
Due to these natural changes,

00:00:28.695 --> 00:00:29.362
losing weight

00:00:29.362 --> 00:00:31.322
during menopause can be difficult.

00:00:31.322 --> 00:00:32.615
But it doesn't have to be.

00:00:32.615 --> 00:00:34.909
HRT helps you rebalance these hormones

00:00:34.909 --> 00:00:36.911
so it's easier to manage your weight.

00:00:36.911 --> 00:00:38.329
Other menopausal symptoms

00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:40.582
can contribute to weight gain, too.

00:00:40.582 --> 00:00:42.125
For example, it's hard to exercise

00:00:42.125 --> 00:00:43.418
when you're feeling lethargic.

00:00:43.418 --> 00:00:44.586
And it's difficult to sleep

00:00:44.586 --> 00:00:46.046
when you're having night sweats.

00:00:46.046 --> 00:00:47.714
Alleviating those symptoms can

00:00:47.714 --> 00:00:49.007
make losing weight easier.

00:00:52.343 --> 00:00:54.012
Noom HRT combines healthy

00:00:54.012 --> 00:00:55.555
habits with a personalized

00:00:55.555 --> 00:00:57.265
HRT treatment plan

00:00:57.265 --> 00:00:58.975
to help you lose menopausal weight

00:00:58.975 --> 00:01:00.810
and feel like yourself again.

00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:02.020
Thank you for taking the time

00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:03.938
to learn about this important topic.

00:01:03.938 --> 00:01:05.231
Remember your primary care

00:01:05.231 --> 00:01:07.317
physician is part of your care team too,

00:01:07.317 --> 00:01:08.943
And they can also be a great resource

00:01:08.943 --> 00:01:11.154
to help answer your questions
about HRT.
