Gilly A Hendrie

I'm Zoe Murnier, the editor of Prevention, and it's great to have you here today as we discuss a topic that is front of mind for so many menopausal women, weight gain.

My guest today is Dr. Gilly Hendrie, a research scientist at CSIRO and one of the team behind the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet.

Gilly's latest work digs into that sadly all too familiar experience of weight gain during perimenopause and menopause.

Her team's new data shows it's actually the most commonly reported symptom of this life stage, ahead of hot flushes, sleep changes, even fatigue, and that the usual eat less, move more advice often misses what's really going on.
