In this episode of the Menopause Disruptor Podcast, host Mary delves deep into the intricate link between stress, gut health, and visceral belly fat as experienced during menopause. 

Mary explains how chronic stress impacts gut microbiota, inflammation, and fat storage, and highlights the gut-brain axis's role in this process. She leans into the experts in the field include Dr. Tara Swart and Dr. Stacy Sims to explain why stress and a hormone-changing woman's body responds to stress and fat stores, emphasizing the value of sprint intervals and heavy resistance training over steady cardio to manage cortisol levels and improve body composition.
