Hormones, weight loss, and energy levels in women over 35

Most women notice that even when they eat the same and exercise the same, their bodies begin changing after age 35. This happens because metabolism is highly dependent on hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and cortisol.

Here’s what begins to shift:

1. Estrogen Drops → More Fat Storage

Low estrogen leads to:

• Increased abdominal fat

• Slower metabolism

• Decreased insulin sensitivity

• Higher cravings

This is why many women say, “My body suddenly changed after 35.”

2. Progesterone Declines → Bloating & Water Retention

Low progesterone may cause:

• Puffy stomach

• Fluid retention

• Mood swings that affect consistency with diet

3. Testosterone Decreases → Less Muscle, More Fat

Healthy testosterone is essential for:

• Lean muscle

• Energy

• Libido

• Tone and strength

When levels fall, women burn fewer calories even at rest.

4. Thyroid Slowdown → Fatigue & Sluggish Metabolism

Many women over 35 experience:

• Constant exhaustion

• Weight gain

• Feeling cold

• Brain fog

5. High Cortisol → Stress Belly

Chronic stress raises cortisol, leading to:

• Fat storage in the midsection

• Sugar cravings

• Poor sleep

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—women across Houston TX 77056, River Oaks, Tanglewood, The Galleria, Briar Grove, Bellaire, and West University Place report the same patterns every day.

Why Traditional Dieting Stops Working After 35

You can diet harder…
You can exercise longer…
But if your hormones are not aligned, you simply won’t see results.

“Calories in vs. calories out” is no longer the full story.

Hormone imbalance affects:

• How your body processes calories

• Where you store fat

• Your hunger signals

• Your sleep quality

• Your motivation and energy

Many women say they feel like they’re “fighting their own biology”—and they are.
