Ever feel like you’re doing everything right — eating clean, hitting your workouts, tracking your food — and yet your belly fat just won’t budge?
In this solo episode, Kim Schaper breaks down the real reason weight gain in perimenopause seems to happen overnight — and why conventional advice (eat less, move more) completely misses the mark. Introducing the I.C.E.T. Hormone Trap — a simple, powerful framework that explains the interconnected roles of Insulin, Cortisol, Estrogen, and Thyroid in your metabolism.
You’ll walk away with a better understanding of why your body is changing, what’s actually going on underneath the surface, and the first few shifts to start moving in the right direction. No more guessing. No more guilt. Just clarity.
