Discover what's really behind the curtain of menopausal weight gain as Dr. Naomi Busch joins us to unravel the mysteries of our changing bodies. You'll learn why those extra pounds are perfectly natural and how to shift your mindset to a weight-inclusive perspective that champions wellness over the number on the scale. Together, we tackle the intricacies of estrogen's role and how to adapt to our body's evolving needs during this pivotal life phase, all while maintaining a sense of humor about the societal pressures women face.
As we age, finding liberation in our evolving appearance becomes a testament to self-acceptance. Our conversation with Dr. Busch isn't just about accepting these changes; it's a call to action for a more compassionate society, one that values health markers over waistlines. You'll hear us laugh about grooming disparities between the sexes while advocating for clothes that fit our unique shapes, and how we can foster longevity through joy-filled movement rather than restrictive dieting. This chapter is a celebration of the body's journey through menopause and the beauty of embracing it wholeheartedly.
Ending on an empowering note, we critique the healthcare industry's obsession with weight as a primary health metric. Dr. Busch enlightens us on the growing Health at Every Size movement, the radical idea of permission-based weighing, and the strategy of 'crowding out' with nutritious foods. By breaking the silence on menopause and fighting the stigma, we're creating a space for women to find resources and support. Remember to connect with us at Midovia.com, where the conversation continues, and transformation awaits.
Dr. Busch is passionate about educating and empowering women to make the best decision for themselves when it comes to their health and wellness. She believes in the power of listening to her patients, remaining open and curious about their experiences. ​
