Hot Flash! - Weight Gain
Hot Flash!
A series of bonus mini episodes covering common, yet frequently overlooked or misunderstood, symptoms of perimenopause.
This may be my favorite HOT FLASH to date! I review the normalcy of weight gain during perimenopause and why this change in body composition is generally NOT related to health. I explain the Health at Every Size (HAES) approach to health care and some tips and tricks for overcoming body shame/discomfort.
NOTE: Lindo Bacon (formerly Linda Bacon) uses They/Them pronouns. I was not aware of the name change at the time of recording and apologize for not using the correct name/pronouns during recording. Also, Lindo Bacon is no longer associated with ASDAH as of this writing (7/2022).
