The Untold Truth About Belly Fat: Why Are You Gaining It If You Haven’t Changed Anything?

#141 - The Untold Truth About Belly Fat: Why Are You Gaining It If You Haven't Changed Anything?

Ladies, let’s talk about that stubborn Meno-Belly. You know the one—it just shows up one day, uninvited, like a bad houseguest who doesn’t take the hint. In today’s episode, we’re diving into why belly fat loves to settle in as we hit perimenopause and menopause.

Spoiler alert: it’s not your fault.

Hormones, stress, and sleep deprivation are ganging up on you. But don’t worry, we’ve got the game plan to kick that belly fat to the curb.

  • Hormones Gone Rogue: Why your midsection decided to play host to visceral fat (and why it’s not the same as your youthful hip, butt, and thigh fat).

  • Cortisol Chaos: How stress—and that glass (or two) of wine—is making your belly fat stick around like glitter after a craft project.

  • Sleep Woes: How skipping your ZZZs makes your cravings go haywire. (Repeat after me, cravings aren't = lack of willpower.)

  • Diet Fixes: Why sugar and refined carbs are public enemy #1 and how fiber, protein, and anti-inflammatory foods can be your new besties.

  • Exercise Smarts: Why you might need to break up with your intense workouts and focus on stress-lowering movement instead.

  • Why your belly fat literallyhas hormonal opinions. (Oh, great, it’s chatty now.)

  • The underestimated power of moving your phone off your nightstand for better sleep. (Yes, thisdoes mean you have to get out of bed to hit snooze. You’ll thank me later.)

  • Practical tips on reducing stress, swapping sugar cravings for healthier options, and filtering out fake estrogens from your water.

  • Freebies + Guides: Check out Lisa Smith Wellness for resources on beating bloat, speeding up weight loss, and more.

In this episode we dive into EMFs and their effects on our natural sleep patterns, hormones, energy, and performance, along with lifestyle tips to reduce EMF exposure.
