Menopause & Weightloss EXPLAINED with Laura Lambe #003
About Laura Lambe
Laura Lambe, Menopause Practitioner and member of The British Menopause Society. Laura is also the Founder of Menopause Mastery, a 1-1 private treatment plan for women looking to reduce menopausal symptoms naturally and also lose up to 50lbs of menopausal weight loss inside 6 months.
Summary
Laura Lambe, a menopause practitioner, discusses the different stages of menopause and the three main concerns women experience: symptoms, health concerns, and body composition shifts. She debunks common myths about menopause and weight gain, such as the belief that HRT or supplements can drive weight loss. Lambe explains that the natural increase in visceral fat during menopause is driven by hormonal shifts, inflammation, gut health, and other factors. She recommends focusing on gut health, increasing protein and fiber intake, consuming whole grain carbohydrates, and incorporating antioxidant-rich foods to reduce visceral fat and improve overall health.
Takeaways
Menopause can be broken down into three stages: perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. Women may experience symptoms, health concerns, and body composition shifts during these stages.
Common myths about menopause and weight gain include the belief that HRT or supplements can drive weight loss. Metabolism does not significantly change during menopause, and fasting is just a tool to create a calorie deficit.
The natural increase in visceral fat during menopause is driven by hormonal shifts, inflammation, gut health, and other factors. Focusing on gut health, increasing protein and fiber intake, consuming whole grain carbohydrates, and incorporating antioxidant-rich foods can help reduce visceral fat and improve overall health.
It's important for women to give themselves grace and embrace this next stage of life as a gift, while also seeking knowledge and learning how to thrive during menopause.

What it's like to work with Leah
Kim Morrow
I am so much more conscious of what I am putting into my body and I actually feel really empowered and good about myself by saying no to the foods that are not good for me. At Dinner the other night, my husband and kids kept asking me to try one french fry or one bite of their dessert, and I just smiled and said 'no thank you'.
Marisa Lonic
With 20+ post partum pounds, I was looking for a program to help me. I was blown away working with Leah. I lost 9 pounds, felt less tired and formed healthy habits that are now j7st part of my new normal.
Jonelle Fernandes
My whole adult life I have struggled with eating healthy, never really feeling satisfied and giving in to very unhealthy choices. Leah is a phenomenal wealth of knowledge and support when it comes to nutrition. It is because of her programs that I am FINALLY eating healthy on a regular basis! I feel the best I’ve ever felt, I have more energy, better sleep, less inflammation, better skin, and a better mood! Not to mention, I lost 11 pounds and the weight is continuing to come off!
