Are you eating “healthy” but still gaining belly fat in midlife? 

You’re not alone and it’s not your fault. In this episode of TRUE Wellness with Dr. Dee, discover why the old calories-in/calories-out model fails women in perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Dee uncovers the 3 hidden drivers of midlife weight gain: hormone imbalances, blood sugar swings, and nervous system stress; and reveals surprising science, including how 84% of fat actually leaves your body through your breath. You’ll also learn how menopause shifts body composition (even without changes on the scale), and the Body-Led™ strategies that help women reset metabolism naturally.

 Tune in to learn:

  • Why calories aren’t the whole story in midlife
  • How stress and shallow breathing literally block fat loss
  • The truth about menopause, muscle loss, and hidden fat gain
  • Simple resets to work with your body, not against it

If you’ve been wondering why your body feels stuck and what really works, this episode is your roadmap to clarity, confidence, and a healthier midlife metabolism.
