Why Menopause Belly Fat Won't Budge (Even When You're Doing Everything Right)

You're training hard, eating clean, doing everything "right," so why is menopause belly fat still creeping up? In this episode, I break down why your old fat-loss strategies stopped working and what's actually happening hormonally as estrogen declines. You'll learn: ✅ Why overtraining and high-intensity cardio spike cortisol and drive fat storage straight to your midsection ✅ Why under-eating (especially below 1200 calories) backfires and slows your metabolism instead of speeding it up ✅ Why shifting from cardio-first to strength-first training changes your body composition without doing more I also share a real client story: how going from 1,000 to 1,650 calories a day helped her lose weight, not gain it, and finally get her energy back. If you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause who feels like your body stopped responding to everything that used to work, this episode will explain why, and give you a clear, science-backed path forward.
