Do you feel like you’re doing everything right—eating clean, hitting the gym, cutting back on wine—but the scale won't budge and your belly fat is only increasing? In this episode of Muscle Strength and Menopause, I explain why the standard "eat less, move more" advice often fails women over 40. The missing piece of the puzzle is often cortisol.
Discover how chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels actively work against your fat loss goals by breaking down muscle, increasing insulin resistance, and targeting fat storage directly to your midsection. I break down the science behind the HPA axis and provides five concrete, evidence-based strategies to lower your cortisol and finally see results in perimenopause and menopause.
