Wait… HRT Might Make You Gain Weight?! Gasp.
Before you throw your hormone doctor out the window… hear this.
According to HRT expert Kimberly Cunningham, when women start hormone replacement therapy — often including testosterone — the scale may actually go up at first. I know. The irony. Most women start HRT hoping the scale finally goes down.
But here’s the physiology part no one explains:
When your hormones finally start working again, your body wakes up. Metabolism improves, recovery improves, and your body becomes more responsive to building muscle. And muscle… weighs more than fat.
So if you lose 3 pounds of fat but gain 5 pounds of muscle, guess what?The scale says you’re heavier.
But your waist is smaller, your body is stronger, and your metabolism is firing again.
👑 Queenager Reality Check- The scale might go up…but your body composition is winning.
Less fat. More muscle. Smaller waist. That’s not weight gain. That’s a glow-up. 💥
