193 - Cellulite & Menopause — Why It Shows Up, What You Can Do, and What Actually Works

Ever noticed cellulite becoming more visible during perimenopause or menopause — even if your weight hasn't changed? You're not imagining it. And it's not a willpower issue. In this episode of Hot & Healthy Menopause, Nicole van Hattem breaks down the real science behind cellulite in midlife, why hormonal changes play such a big role, and what actually helps reduce the appearance of cellulite — without shame, gimmicks, or unrealistic promises. We explore: • What cellulite really is (hint: it's not just fat — it's fascia, connective tissue, and circulation) • How declining estrogen affects collagen, elastin, skin thickness, and microcirculation • Why cellulite often worsens during perimenopause and post-menopause • The latest research updates since the early PubMed studies on cellulite and menopause • Why inflammation, fascia stiffness, and fluid retention matter more than weight • What treatments have evidence (and which ones are a waste of money) • The role of strength training, hydration, sleep, massage, sauna, ice baths, and fascia release • How retreats, detox resets, and lifestyle changes can visibly smooth skin texture • Whether collagen supplements can help — and how to use them realistically • Why cellulite is normal, common, and not a sign of poor health or fitness Nicole also shares her real-life experience with retreats, bodywork, and lifestyle resets over the past decade — and why cellulite reduction works best as a system, not a single fix. This episode is for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who want clear, compassionate, science-backed guidance on body changes in menopause — without body shame or cosmetic pressure. ✨ Cellulite doesn't define your worth. ✨ Menopause doesn't mean giving up on feeling confident in your skin. ✨ You deserve information that empowers — not confuses.
