are you fed up with that stubborn belly fat that refuses to budge no matter how “clean” you eat or how hard you work out? You are not alone. This is the #1 complaint I hear from women over 40, and I was right there with you.
In this episode, I’m breaking down why belly fat is so hard to lose after 40 — and the four sneaky mistakes you might be making right now that are sabotaging your progress without you even realizing it. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about calories or crunches. It’s about your hormones, metabolism, and the habits that unknowingly keep your body in fat-storage mode.
What you’ll learn in this episode: ✅ Why belly fat gets worse in perimenopause and menopause ✅ How insulin resistance and high cortisol make midsection weight gain inevitable (unless you fix them) ✅ The worst things you can do for belly fat over 40 (that you might be doing right now) ✅ Simple, doable swaps to finally start seeing results
If you’re tired of guessing, dieting, and spinning your wheels — this episode is your permission slip to ditch what’s not working and finally address what’s going on underneath.
