Here's JJ's #1 weight loss tip for menopause:

"Losing weight during menopause is totally possible, but you can't approach it like you would in your 20s or 30s.

I've always said your body is a chemistry lab, not a bank account, and it's especially true at this time in your life.

Your focus should be on balancing your hormones and dialing in your diet and lifestyle habits first, and the weight loss will follow."

Here's Dr. Anna's #1 weight loss tip for menopause:

"I hear from so many women who say they're doing everything right and still gaining weight.

Yes, there is the contribution of hormone imbalances that need to be addressed, but I think we underestimate the importance of the weight of the mental baggage we carry around.

The things we say to ourselves when we're by ourselves are usually incredibly mean...  and all of this mean girl talk causes weight to stay on.  

Part of my mission is to help women become "diet culture dropouts" and nourish themselves in ways that feel like love. When we're able to do this, we give our bodies permission to return to their natural weight."

Here's Nagina's #1 weight loss tip for menopause:

"Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric to your day to lose weight.

Turmeric helps prevent new fat from forming on your body.

Turmeric is also a natural anti-inflammatory spice, and helps your muscles relax, helping to lower joint pain and muscle soreness.

One of the best benefits of turmeric, especially for women 45+, is that it is a proven "phytoestrogen," which are plant metabolites that mimic the activity of estrogen.

Lack of estrogen leads to symptoms such as hot flashes, sleeping disorders, mood swings, etc., and turmeric helps to counteract this.

Here's how you can use turmeric in your day:

• Add ¼ teaspoon into morning eggs

• Add ½ teaspoon into your smoothie

• Make my easy "Golden Smoothie"

Here's Ireene's #1 weight loss tip for menopause

"Your digestive system is your 2^nd brain so you want to ensure it’s functioning at its peak. That way, you can ensure your weight is stabilized, your moods are intact and your body is not inflamed.

So before you embark on any weight loss journey, you’ve got to ‘clean out the gunk’ before you ‘put good food in.’

Think of a clogged drain.

You pour water down the drain and sure water will still get through but most of the water will be caught up in the gunk. Same with your gut. Your gut can not absorb all those good nutrients until you clear the passage first.

So how do we clean it out? I recommend a Green Juice Cleanse."

I really couldn't wrap up this series of articles on weight loss during menopause without saying..

First - a HUGE thank you to the incredible experts that contributed their time and wisdom to this article.  

And my closing thoughts on this whole weight loss series...  While I know losing weight is important - diet is about much more than weight loss.

Diet is the foundation - it's where you can get basic hormonal building blocks and detox nutrients. 

And what it is the foundation for?  For getting the best results from herbal remedies for balancing hormones naturally.  When used together you can get real, long-lasting relief - learn how:
