Boticaria García is very aware of what especially worries women, especially when they are around 40 and even when they are approaching 50. With menopause just around the corner, or even already knocking on the door, the famous popularizer has explained to Juan Ramon Jimenez in your SRWolf podcast what lies behind a very frequent question among the female audience: «Do women gain more weight in menopause?». The answer is not particularly flattering but it does reveal what is behind this assumption and that allows prevention to avoid situations of overweight, “which is not going to happen no matter what,” added the pharmacist and nutritionist-dietitian.
The response has been that, a «yes but no» or a «no but yes».

Boticaria García specifies that at that moment “estrogens and progestogens decrease and adipocytes are positioned.” To this he added, to avoid alarmism, that it is not a fact that it will happen “yes or yes, but it is true that we are more predisposed.”
“I’m going to gain weight after 50”
The divulger has shared with Juan Ramon Lucas another “prophecy”, so to speak, and that is that, in general, you are going to “get fatter” from 50».
