How BHRT Helps Manage Cravings and Appetite During the Holidays

Appetite and Cravings Control

As we age, women’s hormone levels fluctuate during perimenopause and menopause, causing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, headaches, and increased hunger pangs. 

Studies suggest that these hormonal shifts can increase physical hunger and the psychological desire to eat, often leading to cravings for comfort foods like cupcakes and potato chips – foods that promote a Santa tummy.

A small 2014 study of 94 premenopausal women found that their hunger increases during menopause, with some participants reporting a heightened desire to eat. Hormonal fluctuations play a significant role in appetite changes and cravings.

BHRT can help stabilize these hormone levels, curb intense cravings, and reduce the urge for high-calorie snacks. By bringing hormones back into balance, BHRT makes it easier to feel full and satisfied, supporting you in making healthier choices. 

Metabolism Support

Another way BHRT helps is by boosting metabolism and burning calories. Hormones like estrogen and testosterone play critical roles in maintaining a healthy metabolism. When these hormones dip, metabolism can slow, making it easier to gain weight even when you’re not overindulging. 

With Dr. Fliedner’s BHRT, your body will return to healthy hormone levels, which improves your metabolism and enables your body to burn calories more effectively. Keeping your hormones balanced is the secret weapon for managing weight when holiday treats are calling your name.

Energy and Mood Stability

The holidays should be a time of joy and reflection; however, for most of us, the holiday stress and a packed schedule of “must-do” activities drain our energy and lead to emotional eating. An imbalance of hormones like cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone can contribute to fatigue and mood swings.

Dr. Fliedner says,  “When we’re stressed, our body releases cortisol, which can increase our appetite and drive cravings for sugary, fatty ‘comfort’ foods. BHRT can help balance these hormones, reduce stress, stabilize mood, and make it easier to stay energized and resist emotional eating.”

  • Reduced Emotional Eating. By stabilizing hormones that impact hunger and emotional responses, BHRT can help reduce the urge for stress-induced eating, especially those high-sugar, high-fat foods we tend to reach for during the holidays. Just say, “NO!” to the craving.
