This subject is brought up a lot within my clients and women I talk to online that are at the perimenopause and menopause stage in their life and that is belly fat. There are many physiological processes that occur and slow down at this stage of life but that doesn't mean doom and gloom! I want to share with you the role of body fat, types of body fat, and how our nutrition, hormones, and exercise all play a part.

Steve Q. Wiltshire has made fitness, health & mindset a priority for 3 decades! Shortly after winning the Mr. Oregon Body Building Competition, Steve developed an autoimmune disease that originated from a serious gut complication that almost ruined his health.

Most everything Steve learned from experts, radical meal plans and harsh chemicals in supplements compromised his gut health. 18 months after being diagnosed, Steve healed himself by following the philosophy and wellness practices taught by the Hypocrites Institute in Southern Florida.

Through Steve's journey, he has developed a process that has led him to assisting thousands of people how to reclaim their health & power! Steve is a Keynote Speaker, Author and Mindset Coach and the founder of Body Temple Health & Wellness.

During our interview, Steve generously shares his exact process on his detox process that restored his health and his complimentary '15 Day Kickstart Gut Detox Plan!'

I love my career and the trust women have in me to guide them in their health journey and, with that being said, one of the hardest things within my coaching is definitely helping my ladies with their nutrition. There's so much garbage out there when it comes to food and misinformation that it takes awhile to instill new habits with my clients. In today's episode, I'm going to share some of the biggest pitfalls when it comes to nutrition especially after age 40 and above.
