Perimenopause Weight & Metabolic Health Consultation with Dr Sheikh

Evidence-led metabolic correction

Perimenopause Weight Resistance & Metabolic Reset

If your weight has increased in your 40s despite dieting, exercise and “doing everything right” — there is a physiological reason.

This 20-minute call identifies what is actually blocking progress.

Structured. Focused. No obligation.
Reality check:
If you respond by “dieting harder”, you often amplify stress signalling and central fat storage. More restriction is not the solution. Precision is.
This is for women who:
  • Cannot shift weight despite calorie control
  • Feel more fatigued than before
  • Have worsening sleep or stress
  • Notice abdominal weight gain
  • Feel their metabolism has changed

Typical presentation pattern

Age 42–49
  • Calories “controlled” but weight does not respond
  • Waist increases despite good effort
  • Crashes, cravings, wired-tired pattern
  • Sleep disruption ramps up fat-gain momentum
Commonly involves shifts in fat distribution and insulin dynamics during the menopausal transition. The fix is precision metabolic correction — not harsher restriction.
