Estou na menopausa e via o peso subir mesmo comendo igual a antes, o que era muito frustrante. Este curso explicou de forma clara como as mudanças hormonais afetam o metabolismo nessa fase. As estratégias alimentares e os ajustes no estilo de vida realmente fizeram diferença no meu dia a dia. Comecei a entender meu corpo em vez de lutar contra ele o tempo todo. Já sinto menos inchaço e consegui estabilizar o peso sem dietas malucas. Recomendo de coração a todas as mulheres nessa transição.
