3 Unexpected Habits That Keep You Lean in Perimenopause

Written by Dr. Nirvana

Welcome to the Dr. Nirvana Podcast

Have you been dealing with symptoms that seem completely unrelated? Your gut may be the missing piece. I created this quick 2 Minute Gut Health Check to help you see whether your digestion could actually be driving more of what you’re feeling than you realize.

If you haven’t changed how you eat or move but your body feels completely different since perimenopause started, this video is for you.

Staying lean in perimenopause isn’t about restriction or spending more time at the gym. It’s about 3 specific daily habits that work with your hormones instead of against them. And none of them are what you’d expect.

In this video I’m covering the morning habit that resets your cortisol rhythm, why eating after sunset is quietly driving perimenopausal weight gain, and how eating for your blood type can change everything about how your body responds to food with real patient examples from my practice.

I’m Dr. Nirvana, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with 20 years of clinical experience specializing in women’s hormones, perimenopause, and root cause medicine.
