She explained the inability to lose weight due to estrogen being decreased, but since we still need the estrogen (that ironically and sadly) our body is not producing as much anymore, the body gets it from our fat storeage, so in essence our body is not letting go of fat as easy, because it is using the estrogen stores in our
fat. She also said our body has
estrogen receptors everywhere, from our brains to our toes,
and metabolism is one area affected from estrogen loss.
