How your hormones change during menopause
As menopause approaches, estrogen levels begin to fluctuate. This can lead to changes like decreased muscle and increased fat mass, fat tissue accumulating around the abdomen, shifts in metabolism, and more. These shifts can negatively affect how the body metabolizes sugar and fat, and also cause more intense hunger signals—often leading to weight gain.
Fluctuating hormone levels can also cause symptoms like mood changes, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and more, making weight loss even more difficult. For example, it’s hard to exercise when you’re feeling lethargic, and it’s difficult to sleep when you’re having night sweats, which can make it harder to lose weight.
You're not alone. 7 out of 10 Women experience weight gain during menopause. On average, Women lose 3-8% of their muscle mass during menopause, and 30+ Possible psychological and physical symptoms.
The menopause-weight gain connection
- Lower estrogen levels, muscle loss, and shifts in metabolism continue to make weight loss and maintenance more challenging as time goes on.
- In addition to weight gain, women lose 3-8% of their muscle mass during menopause—even if diet and exercise habits stay the same.
- When you add in other common symptoms like night sweats, brain fog, and vaginal dryness, it can really start to feel like your body is working against you.

Frequently Asked Questions
3 5 What can I expect after starting HRT and when will I feel a difference?
Many people notice improvements in menopause symptoms fairly quickly—reporting fewer hot flashes, weight loss, improved mood, and better sleep—often within weeks.
3 5 What are the potential side effects?
Common side effects can occur, such as bloating, tenderness in the breasts, and temporary vaginal bleeding or spotting. Noom’s clinicians are here to help you manage side effects, which could include tailoring your prescription.
3 5 How is HRT administered?
HRT can include patches, creams, gels, sprays, and/or pills. Patches, creams, gels, and sprays deliver hormones gradually through the skin while pills are taken orally.

3 5 Is HRT only intended for those experiencing severe menopause symptoms?
HRT is primarily recommended for people with moderate to severe symptoms, but can also be a good option for those with mild symptoms.
3 5 I have a healthy diet. Will I still gain weight during menopause?
Even with a healthy diet, hormonal fluctuations can cause weight gain during menopause due to changes in your metabolism. Lowered estrogen levels can also cause fat tissue to increase around the abdomen—even if you don’t gain weight.
3 5 Is it true that once you start HRT, you can never stop?
HRT is often recommended for the shortest time necessary to manage your symptoms, and you can stop at any time. Be sure to consult your clinician about the best way to taper off to avoid any abrupt changes.
3 5 Will my risk of breast cancer go up using hormones?
There was a controversial study from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) that many consider flawed. This study caused concern around HRT treatment because it reported a link between HRT and breast cancer, which many now believe does not exist or is not applicable to today’s treatment methods.
