“Stress belly” is often driven by chronic stress and anxiety, which increase cortisol and push the body to hold water, store fat, and burn muscle, making fat loss and muscle gain difficult. He outlines a strategy to reduce stress-related belly fat by first managing anxiety and lowering fight-or-flight activation (amygdala) using the peptide Selank to help “settle down,” then adding “Reta” to encourage fat burning via glucagon signaling and support better food choices by reducing addictive eating patterns. He also notes that eating less processed food may further reduce cortisol. He emphasizes this is not medical advice, shares personal experience, and directs viewers to JA Protocols, a peptide protocol calculator, Instagram for questions, one-on-one coaching, and Cellular Advantage Academy, plus a “Big dog” discount code for Max Performance for You products.
