For the Women in the Family--Menopause & Perimenopause

Perimenopause weight gain — causes and solutions
by Marcy Holmes, NP, Certified Menopause Clinician

As many women enter perimenopause or approach menopause, they find themselves experiencing unexplained weight gain — especially around the waists and hips — despite their best attempts to diet. Often the methods of weight management that worked for them for years are suddenly ineffective. In fact, weight gain in the abdomen is one of the most common complaints of perimenopausal women. Yet most women have been told that an extra 10–20 pounds is simply a rite of passage at this time of life and they should just accept their “middle-age spread.”

But you absolutely do not have to. There is no reason why you should settle for anything at this stage of your life, let alone weight gain. Sure, things may get a little more complicated during perimenopause. Hormonal fluctuations, many years of exposure to toxins, and your body’s natural proclivity for retaining estrogen–producing fat cells at this time can result in some extra weight. But it doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it.

Menopausal weight gain
The same metabolic set point holds true for your post-menopausal body as it did before “the change.” Weight gain is just another symptom resulting from your system being out of balance. To restore balance, you need to figure out what is going on at the core of your physiology and emotions. For an in-depth discussion on how to do this, refer to our article on natural weight loss.

One of the many joys of menopause is the stripping away of the masking effects of estrogen. While this process may cause some symptoms, it becomes much easier to get a handle on what’s not functioning well for you. Many patients have conditions such as insulin resistance or adrenal fatigue that have been developing for a long time, but it is only after estrogen levels dip that they are able to notice the symptoms — and make the necessary changes to fix them.

Why does weight gain occur so universally for women during menopause? It depends on the individual, but there are a few causes that are very common. Your fat cells and your hormones are part of a system-wide biofeedback network that orchestrates your appetite, metabolism, heat regulation, digestion, and detoxification. Any chronic disturbance in the crosstalk among systems has the potential to cause weight gain (and a host of other menopausal symptoms, like hot flashes and food cravings).

The causes of unexplained weight gain
Each day we discover more about the intricate nature of hormones and weight, but one vital link is the one between insulin, metabolism and body fat. For years, many women followed the conventional low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet, with lots of processed foods (pasta, breads, most snacks, beer and wine, etc). Over time this diet can create a condition known as insulin resistance. When you are insulin resistant your body converts every calorie it can into fat — even if you’re dieting. The result is that while you are gaining weight, your cells are actually starving!

A second basic link lies between stress and body fat. Stress hormones, like cortisol, block weight loss. This is sometimes called the “famine effect”: despite adequate food, the body interprets prolonged stress as a famine, and once again goes into hoarding mode — which it does very effectively.

Stressors can be emotional, physical, or even diet-related. Bingeing, yo-yo dieting, unaddressed food sensitivities, and severe calorie restriction are all forms of stress. Most of us are under tremendous amounts of stress — often more than we realize — and much of it is prolonged and unremitting, which can lead to chronic inflammation and a metabolic disorder called adrenal fatigue.

These mechanisms all work together — and many of us combine a high-stress life with a low-fat, high-carb diet. This creates such a powerful hormonal imbalance that weight gain is almost inevitable. What’s more, high-carb diets cause neurotransmitter imbalances that lead to food cravings. Because your body can’t readily maintain optimal blood sugar and serotonin levels, you are compelled to have snacks and caffeine to make yourself feel better. But they only exacerbate both insulin resistance and adrenal exhaustion while adding body fat. This is a vicious cycle.

For women in perimenopause, another weight gain issue is widely fluctuating estrogen levels, and for menopausal women, diminished levels of estrogen. As the estrogen production of your ovaries falls, your body turns to secondary production sites, including body fat, skin, and other organs. If your body is struggling to maintain its hormonal balance, body fat becomes more valuable. Often your body is balancing estrogen loss with maintaining bone mass, for which it needs additional fat cells. Of course, if you are stressed and on a low-fat diet, your body will struggle to keep all these balls in the air — and refuse to let go of extra body fat.

Are you carrying some toxic baggage?
Note that artificial sweeteners are not a solution, but part of the problem. They may lack caloric content, but some mimic sugar so well that the body produces insulin to metabolize them — contributing to insulin resistance. This can actually lower your blood sugar level, which is why many of these products contain caffeine to compensate for the drop in energy. Unfortunately, the caffeine also worsens any problems you may have with adrenal fatigue.

In addition, adding more artificial chemicals to your body at this time can exacerbate the “toxic load” you are carrying. By midlife, most women have had years of cumulative exposure to allergens, pesticides, plastics, chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria, and other poisons and irritants. Artificial and biological debris that can’t be eliminated gets stored in our fat cells.

Over time, a woman’s system can get so gummed up by toxins that it just can’t function well — and it is often the case that the more fat cells she has, the more toxins she has stored. When a woman begins to lose weight dramatically, like on a crash diet, these toxins get released into the body in a flood and can cause miserable symptoms. The body at this point just wants to get back to homeostasis (even if what it interprets as normal isn’t healthy), and will sabotage even the best intentions to lose weight.

The toxic load may be just one part of a broader pattern of inflammation — which often shows up during menopause. Dysbiosis, yeast and food sensitivities, and an immune system imbalance can short-circuit weight loss. Toxicity triggers the immune system to be on full alert, as do any unaddressed food allergies. Many women have been sensitive to certain foods for decades but only realize it after they lose estrogen’s soothing effect on the digestive tract.

The truth about weight loss during menopause

So the truth is, weight loss is not about willpower or calories in/calories out. Both are myths promulgated by the diet industry that doom us to failure. Fad diets simply don’t work — over 95% of dieters gain back the weight they lose and more — because they oversimplify a very complicated process. One that is more complicated during menopause because of the many factors I’ve described.

The links between hormonal balance, toxicity, inflammation and body fat aren’t the only factors that block weight loss. Unresolved emotional issues are often the root cause of unhealthy eating habits — and they can be their own kind of toxin!

We have learned that you have to get healthy before you can lose weight and keep it off. Once you establish baseline health, your body will naturally seek and maintain its ideal weight. The first step is to follow nutritional and lifestyle guidelines like those we suggest in our Personal Program.

Menopause is no reason to accept someone else’s idea of what your limitations are — in fact the opposite is true! There is no better time than now to begin building a stronger health foundation. This is the time in your life to discover the best in yourself, including your power to finally deal with the core issues that may have hindered your earlier weight loss efforts.

Thanks for sending this Myrna!  So much of this info is so true.  I never realized what was going on with my danged weight gain (about 15 pounds) in the past few years (which I knew had something to do with my age, 39, or perimenopause, but didn't know how to change it) until I joined Kirsten's health challenge last fall.  I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted and I hardly ever exercised.  Not anymore, lol!  When I finally got off my behind and exercised (really broke a good sweat) regularly, ate more natural foods and less highly processed foods did I start to notice a difference in how I felt and looked.  Diets don't work for me, plain and simple.  I needed to change how I lived and what I was putting into my body.  We really never ate out all that much, but we did have plenty of snacks around the house to compensate.  :)  When I started making sure that over 90% of what I ate was either in their natural state (fruits, salads, protein) or homemade (breads, meals and the occasional cookie or cake) without all the processed junk and preservatives I felt SO much better!  I actually do not like fast food anymore.  I avoid the drive thru if at all possible because when I do eat that stuff, I feel like crap (pardon the word) afterwards.  I finally realized that I CAN do something about how I feel.  It's not easy and takes more work than any diet out there, but it's been so much better for me in the long run.  I haven't lost a ton, only about 8 pounds, but at least I feel great and know that I'm eating and my family's eating better and exercising more.  I actually crave exercise, water and vegetation now!  So in a nutshell, thank you Kirsten for giving me the opportunity and the excuse to make better choices and quit complaining!  Not that any of you are....I was.  :)

Thanks again for sending this Myrna, if you can't tell, it really hit home for me and helped me understand why I had needed to step it up, and now keep it up.

Love ya all,

Amy G

Temple Work for Carlock Family History

Hi my name is Mandi Bailey and I come from the Carlock side and have started doing some work and have found alot of it to be done already by you. I was wondering if you would be interested in sharing what little info I have with each other to complete my families Temple work. Thanks so much.

She likes knowing the history but is not going to do temple work. For the sake of my grandchildren I started working on the line. I will be happy to share. What do you need?

I love Arbree Hohnstein Trauntvein, my daughter-in-law, dearly. I sounded curt and didn't mean to. At any rate, I will be more than happy to work with you. 

 Mandi wrote; My grandma and grandpa are james doyle carlock and arlene elizabeth carlock. Oakla ray carlock and wilma simmons carlock are my great grandparents and william austin carlock and ida pierce carlock are my great great grandparents. My mother is a convert at the age of 19 and has raised is four kids in the church. My grandma wouldn't give her the family work, grandma gave it to me just this past week. My family is very excited to help as all 4 kids are married and temple holders. I found your work through william and ida carlock my great great grandparents. That's as far as I got but I do have a picture of them if you want I will attach in another email. Thanks so much for any info you can give. I would love to know how your family ties into the line.

Myrna wrote: You did know, of course, that after Oakla died Wilma remarried. She married Howard A. Hohnstein. He murdered her and went to prison for it. Their son, Alan, is my daughter-in-law, Arbree's, father. So that would mean that Wilma was her great-grandmother. I did her work because I was so concerned that she would have no one else to do it. I looked for a link on the church web-site and also on Ancestry.com. I couldn't find anyone who was working on the line. I thought she should be sealed to her first husband because he was the one who: 1. was first, and 2. deserved her. Her shooting was such a tragedy that no one would talk about it. My son's father-in-law, her son by the second marriage, was not quite aware of the circumstances but only that it had happened. I have a photocopy of the article telling about it. I am glad that you will be doing the further work. There is a lot to be done. Bless your heart. I will pray, as I have been doing for the past ten years, for success on this line. Whatever you need me to do, I will do willingly. These are my grandchildren's (Erin, Donovin and Caydin) roots and they should know what great posterity they have. I would love a photo.

Mandi wrote: Oh goodie I'm so excited. My grandmother has had our family history and would never give it to my mother since she became a convert to the church. I asked for it and she gave it to me, my mother was very surprised as was I. Well let me see if we can connect the dots.
 
I believe were connected through my Great Grandma Wilma Simmons-maiden name   Carlock-1st married name   Hohnstein-2nd married name.
 
William Austin Carlock is my great great grandpa - Married to Ida Pierce Carlock
Children-
Okla 
(dont know any others)
 
Okla Ray Carlock is my great grandpa -Married to Wilma Simmons Carlock
Children-They had 7 (in no particular order)
James
Ray
Patty Pat are nicknames but name is Patrica
Glenda
Dick
Denis
Rita

When Grandpa Okla died Grandma Wilma married a Hohnstein with the nickname Red because he had red hair. (Dont know his 1st name)
Children-
Allen 
Dean
 
When Grandma died and Hohnstein went to prison. Dean went to live with Grandma Arlene Carlock and Grandpa James Carlock his 1/2 brother.
Allen lived with Tom and Glenda Stevens who is his 1/2 sister.
 
James Doyle Carlock is my grandpa- Married to Arlene Elizabeth Carlock
Children-
Christina
Debbie or Debra
Brenda
 
Debbie is my mother
 
 
 Please call me if you have any more ?'s , I would love to talk with you. I'm assuming your daughter in law is one of Allen or Deans daughters or grandaughters. This is so very exciting and I feel that the Lord has placed this in our hands for a reason. The work must go forth! I do not have alot of dates so that would be really helpful. Please feel free to call 816-510-6279 I live in Missouri. Soo excited about the new Kansas City Missouri Temple comming soon I cant wait!

Mike's Room Has Changed

Hello all,

 

Laurel talked with Cyd and Terry last night.  Mike has been moved to the third floor, East wing, room 366.  Sounds promising after his CAT scan, but still has a long way to go.  More therapy and rehabilitation are scheduled as he progresses with time.

Take care for now.

Love,

Laurel & Tom

Thanks for the information. You are a great girl. I plan on dropping by tomorrow. I will just pop in again. When I stopped by yesterday morning, they were planning on moving him. He was tired out from physical therapy and Sandra thought he needed a little peace. I agreed. She suggested we just go down to the waiting room and visit. But that would have taken them away from Mike. We didn't want to do that. I think Mike needs Cyd. We had AnnMarie with us. So we just popped in and told him we were there. Then we talked with Cyd outside the room for a bit and left. I was supposed to call Sandra's home last night but, did you know, there are three Sandra Andersons in American Fork? I have no idea which one she is. Do you know?
