Description
If you’ve noticed your waistline changing in midlife and wondered whether this is “just menopause,” you’re not alone.
Belly fat is one of the most common and frustrating changes women experience in perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, I break down some of the key factors contributing to this and what you can realistically do about it.
We talk about:
- How changing estrogen levels affect fat distribution
- What’s really happening with your metabolism
- The role of muscle loss
- Why daily movement matters more than you think
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why this is happening, stop blaming the wrong things, and have concrete steps you can start taking this week to turn it around.
