Obesity, Menopause, and New Guidelines: How Asian Women Are Affected

Описание: Obesity Menopause and New Guidelines How Asian Women Are Affected

🔍 In this video, I’m diving deep into the unique challenges that Asian women face regarding obesity and menopause. Did you know that many of us, especially within Asian and Chinese communities, can be 'skinny fat,' or, as it’s officially called, normal weight obesity? This condition leads to fat accumulating around the belly, presenting health risks even if we appear to have a normal weight.

📊 I’ll share evidence-based strategies for assessing weight gain and obesity while busting common myths about cortisol spikes. Plus, I’ll discuss whether menopause hormone therapy really helps in reversing weight gain. One of the exciting aspects I’ll cover is how the new guidelines incorporate a simple measurement that can significantly enhance our assessment and recommendations for health.

👩‍⚕️ Together, let’s break down the science and navigate the new guidelines that impact our lives during menopause.
