Menopause & HRT: How to Lose Fat & Manage Hormones After 45 With Kim Bruce

Struggling with menopause weight gain, hormonal changes, and wondering if HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is right for you? In this episode of It’s Pretty Simple, I sit down with Kim Bruce, a certified personal trainer, Precision Nutrition coach, and Biomechanics Specialist with over 30 years of experience helping women 45+ navigate menopause with confidence.

Menopause comes with a lot of changes, and one of the biggest frustrations women face is unexplained weight gain, especially around the midsection. Kim explains why this happens, how hormonal shifts impact metabolism, and what women can do to manage their weight without resorting to crash diets or extreme restrictions.

We also discuss whether every woman needs HRT, how to approach strength training in menopause, and why traditional diet strategies often backfire.

Kim also shares insights on managing stress, improving sleep, and how lifestyle factors can impact fat loss just as much as diet and exercise.

If you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or confused about your body during menopause, this episode is for you. Learn how to take control of your health, make informed decisions about HRT, and build a sustainable fitness routine that works for your changing body.
