97. The Truth About Menopause Weight Gain and the Power of Bioidentical Hormones
Welcome to Episode 97 of the Emotional Eats Podcast!
I was really looking forward to this episode of the Emotional Eats Podcast because I sit down with the incredible Dr. Prudence Hall to discuss a topic that affects every midlife woman—menopause. Dr. Hall, a pioneer in women's health, shares her extensive experience in gynecology and integrative medicine to help women better understand their hormonal shifts, the power of bioidentical hormones, and the deeper root causes of weight gain. We also explore the mental and emotional toll of menopause, including anxiety, fatigue, and loss of identity, and how holistic approaches can restore vitality and well-being.
Dr. Hall opens up about her personal journey, including the heartbreaking loss of her home in the California wildfires, making this conversation even more profound. As her first podcast interview since the disaster, I was honored to hold space for her wisdom, resilience, and unwavering dedication to empowering women through midlife transitions.
Key Takeaways from the Episode:
The Evolution of Menopause Awareness – Dr. Hall has been educating women on menopause for over 40 years, even before it became a widely discussed topic.
Bioidentical vs. Synthetic Hormones – Learn how bioidentical hormones are made, why they’re different from traditional HRT, and how they can dramatically improve symptoms.
Perimenopause Symptoms & Why Doctors Miss Them – Many women struggle with brain fog, weight gain, mood swings, and fatigue for years before menopause, yet they’re told they’re ‘too young’ for hormonal changes.
The Role of Root Causes in Weight Gain – It's not just about calories—low thyroid, adrenal fatigue, stress, inflammation, and emotional trauma all contribute to stubborn weight gain.
How Blood Sugar & Gut Health Play a Role – Dr. Hall explains how continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and gut healing strategies can help women regain control of their metabolism.
Practical Nutrition & Movement Tips for Midlife Women – The truth about protein, fiber, and why high-intensity interval training (HIIT) might be the best exercise for hormone balance.
Gratitude, Mindset, & Healing from Trauma – Why emotional healing and self-acceptance are essential parts of menopause and overall health.

She transitioned into integrative and regenerative medicine, founding The Hall Center in Santa Monica, California. With a deep passion for helping women navigate midlife with vitality, she focuses on identifying the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms.

“You have a unique and special way.”
The most significant thing that changed in my work with you was that my all consuming, soul-killing obsession with food was relieved through gentle healing and integration. I knew in my heart that you really cared about me and had my best interests at heart which helped me to re-connect with my own ability to love and support myself. When that part felt back in balance I think the food piece also re-balanced itself. Another incredible gift you offer is a super well resourced tool box! There was also plenty of deep diving into core wounding and reviewing old stories, all of which you skillfully guided me though and helped me to integrate in order to heal.
Thank you so much for everything.

“It seems so simple now!”
Kim taught me to listen to my body. I now can slow down and find out what I really need…which is not always food. I also learned it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I struggled with dieting and then overeating. I have found a happy place where I can just be. She also taught me so much about food, reading labels and how good real food can be. Thank you.

“I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me.”
My reason for hiring Kim is different as I already knew how to eat healthy and was already in great shape. I wanted to learn more about digestion and overall gut health which is super important for all aspects of life. She is amazing! Very easy to talk too and she made me feel very comfortable and I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me. She is very nice and definitely very knowledgeable! She was able to help me in every way I needed and then some! Anyone who needs any form of help that she offers because she is top notch and well worth the money and time!Could not be happier with the decision I made to hire her as my coach!

“Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives.”
I feel an enthusiasm for embracing routines and habits that encompass not only my body, but spirit and mind. Kim is a beautiful, genuine person who is intuitive and kind.
Her support and positive perspective always turn around my attitude and help me see the favorable aspect to decisions I’ve made in a non-judgemental way.
Access to this type of reassurance is perpetual and brings peace of mind. Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives. Kim has been instrumental in bringing me home to my truest self.
