126: Is Belly Fat A Given After 40… Or Are We Just Missing The Right Tools?


Listen Later

You look in the mirror—or pull on your favorite jeans—and wonder why you still look pregnant… even though you’re not.

You’ve tried cutting calories, working out more, going keto, and counting points...and nothing works.

Is this stubborn belly fat just what happens after 40… or is something deeper going on?

In this episode, we’re unpacking the big question so many women ask themselves in silence:
Is belly fat just a part of aging—or have we been missing the tools that actually work for us now?

We’ll talk about:
✅ What’s really happening in your body during perimenopause and beyond
✅ Why old-school diet advice can backfire in midlife
✅ The 3 pillars that help women lose stubborn belly fat—without obsession or restriction
✅ And why this phase of life is not the end of your health journey—it’s just the beginning of a smarter one

If you're feeling frustrated with the scale, bloated in your jeans, or just stuck… this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a fresh path forward. 💛

🎧 Tune in now—and let’s change the way we approach belly fat after 40.
