[quote=Anonymous]For some history: during COVID, I went to a nutritionist/wellness center and over two years lost about 40lbs. It was a great move as my cholesterol, BP, and other health markers all went down as well. I maintained this weight for 1.5 years, but then started getting more definitive menopause symptoms (period cessation, night hot flashes, insomnia, irritability) so my GYN put me on HRT: estradiol patch, progesterone, and later a small dose of Effexor. That’s when I started to see the weight gain. Since last May, I’ve put 17 lbs back on and am concerned it will continue to go up. I’m watching what I eat, e revising, and even putting a turmeric/cinnamon/ginger mix in my coffee, but none of it seems to be working. Question: has anyone experienced weight gain while ON HRT? I had thought the hormone rebalance would help but am concerned maybe it’s contributing to it?[/quote]
