Struggling with stubborn belly fat that seems to appear overnight after 40? You're not alone—and it's not your fault.

In this episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray reveals why traditional diet and exercise methods fail women over 45. With over 20 years of experience helping thousands of women through perimenopause and menopause, Dr. Betty breaks down the exact metabolic shifts happening in your body right now.

Discover the critical relationship between estrogen and cortisol, how insulin resistance develops differently in menopausal women, and why your sleep patterns are sabotaging your weight loss efforts. Dr. Betty explains why menopause is a "full body event" that affects every single cell and shares three practical, low-cost strategies you can implement today to work with your new hormonal landscape, not against it.

Learn why the tactics that worked in your 20s and 30s won't work in your 40s, 50s, and beyond—and what you should be doing instead. This isn't about getting your pre-baby body back; it's about understanding your new reality and optimizing where you are today for the next 30-35 years of your journey.
