Weight Gain: 200+ Expert Talks
About Weight Gain
Weight gain that doesn't make sense is one of the most common reasons people come to DrTalks. Weight creeping on in perimenopause even though nothing changed, a thicker middle, cravings that won't quit, thyroid labs that look normal while the scale keeps climbing, or regaining weight after GLP-1 medication are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past eating less and moving more. The videos connect weight gain to insulin resistance and blood sugar, stress and cortisol, falling hormones, thyroid problems, gut health and hormone-disrupting chemicals. You'll find conversations on perimenopause and menopause, Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism, GLP-1 medications, and protecting muscle as you age. Doctors, OB/GYNs and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from full thyroid and hormone panels to metabolic markers and continuous glucose monitors, and what helps, from hormone therapy and strength training to more protein, better sleep and steadier blood sugar.
