Weight Gain and Menopause

In their 40s and 50s, women often gain weight. It is something they often mention during the initial menopause consultation.
.
There is no doubt that menopause contributes to the weight gain. Studies have shown that the years around menopause are associated with increased fat in the abdominal region. You’ll find that body fat distribution changes from a “pear” (wide hips and thighs) to an “apple” (wide waist).
.
As we get older, decreased exercise and increased alcohol and food consumption also contribute to the weight gain. We tend to enjoy “social and comfort” eating more and more. Plus, with aging, muscle mass decreases, but fat increases which leads to an increase in body size – even if your actual weight doesn’t increase on the scale.

  • "My experience with Michelle has been one of very individual treatment. She developed a process using special Dermavidual products on a daily basis. In a short time people began commenting on how my skin looked many years younger than my chronological age!"

  • I would like to thank Dr. Leibman for making my procedure so easy. I was relaxed and not troubled and had absolutely no pain or discomfort after the procedure. May all his patients feel the same.

  • I've been a pt. of Dr. Leibman for well over 15 years. I was referred to his office for a hysterotomy and wow, what a fantastic job he did. I've stayed with his office because of his bedside manner, his TRUE care and concern for his Pt.'s, and his honesty and gentle treatment. My daughter started visiting Dr. Leibman's office a few years ago as a teen, she was scared to see the "lady doctor." Dr. Leibman and his nurse Dena made her visit pleasant, putting her on the right track for her health. I cannot thank him enough for helping her overcome her fear. We both hope that Dr. Leibman and Nurse Dena never retire, it's TEN stars from us.

  • It has been one year now since the (surgery) and I just wanted to let you know that having the (surgery) was the best decision. I feel so much better now compared to a year ago with all the physical discomfort. I'm still swimming, biking, and running and I have much more energy than before the surgery. Thank you for your guidance and expertise.
