What’s the root cause? It's something called hormonal burnout...and it can wreak havoc on your female metabolism. Hormonal burnout can strike at any age, but it affects all women as they mature through menopause, and for many, even years earlier. It's caused by declining levels of estrogen and its partner-hormone, progesterone.
Normally, they go up and down naturally like a see-saw. However, by age 35 as ovulation slows, hormonal burnout begins when 1) progesterone plummets, 2) then estrogen also drops quickly, 3) and fat gain around the middle kicks into high gear.

When hormonal burnout strikes, your menopausal metabolism becomes vulnerable to two dangers:
Danger #1) You become more sensitive to certain foods. The decline in estrogen hurts your ability to process carbohydrates. That's because estrogen helps your body manage blood sugar. So, less estrogen leads to higher blood sugar and higher blood sugar turns into fat, especially around the belly. Yikes! That's why an evening bowl of rice or potatoes can result in an extra pant size in the morning. Should you cut out carbohydrates completely? Absolutely not! That will stress out your metabolism even more and that leads to the next danger.
Danger #2) You become more stress-reactive once you're through menopause. Your stress-hormone cortisol spikes up to 74%. That's a real bummer since a woman's metabolism is already more sensitive to stress than a man's. But the drop in estrogen and progesterone makes matters even worse because they intensify the effects of your brain's "feel good" molecules - serotonin and GABA. Those molecules help you stay happy, relaxed, and sleeping well. They act as a shield protecting you from the damaging effects of stress. That means having a weaker stress shield, you're much more vulnerable to cortisol and here's why:
It can break down collagen in your skin, making you look five to ten years older,It can eat away at muscle and bone, making you soft, saggy, and brittle. Worst of all, it can act like a factory for belly fat.
