International Womens Day: Menopause and Women’s Metabolism
Celebrating all our brave Thermalist Women!
As a woman in science and metabolism research, I’ve spent years studying how our bodies adapt to stress—and how we can harness this knowledge to navigate life’s transitions with strength and resilience.
On this International Women’s Day, I want to talk about something that affects every woman but often gets overlooked: our metabolism during menopause.
Menopause is a natural and inevitable phase of life, but it brings profound changes to our bodies—many of which can feel out of our control. The decline in estrogen doesn’t just affect our reproductive system; it rewires our metabolism, alters our ability to regulate stress, and changes how we store energy.
But here’s the empowering truth: we can actively reshape our metabolic intelligence—just as we adapt and thrive in so many other areas of life.
How Stress Tolerance & Metabolism Are Connected
One of the biggest challenges women face during menopause is a decline in stress resilience. Estrogen plays a critical role in regulating our nervous system, blood sugar, and inflammatory response. When estrogen levels drop, our ability to cope with metabolic stress—fluctuating blood sugar, increased fat storage, and muscle loss—weakens.
Think of metabolism as a stress response system. It’s not just about burning calories; it’s about how efficiently our body responds to challenges—whether that’s fasting, exercise, or temperature shifts.
And this is where we have an opportunity. By training our stress tolerance, we can rewire our metabolism to work for us, not against us.
How to Rewire Your Metabolism Through the Thermalist Method
One of the most powerful, science-backed strategies for boosting metabolic intelligence is temperature exposure—specifically, cold and heat therapy.
🔥 Heat Therapy (Saunas, Hot Baths, Thermal Conditioning)
Increases Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs): These protect against muscle loss and oxidative stress, keeping our metabolism active even as we age.
Boosts Circulation & Insulin Sensitivity: Heat therapy has been shown to improve glucose metabolism, reducing the risk of metabolic disorders.
Enhances Stress Resilience: Regular sauna use trains the body to handle stress better—mentally and physically.
❄️ Cold Therapy (Cold Showers, Ice Baths, Cryotherapy)
Activates Brown Fat: This fat burns energy to generate heat, counteracting the tendency for increased fat storage during menopause.
Strengthens the Nervous System: Cold exposure boosts norepinephrine, a hormone that reduces inflammation and stabilizes mood.
Improves Metabolic Flexibility: The body learns to switch between burning carbs and fats efficiently, preventing energy crashes.
Train Your Metabolism Like You Train Your Mind
Metabolism isn’t just about food and exercise—it’s about how we interact with our environment. Just as we train our minds to handle challenges, we can train our bodies to become metabolically resilient.
