Ep340: Everything You Think You Know About Belly Fat Is Wrong
In this episode, Tina sits down with Curtis Gillespie Sayers to challenge some of the most common assumptions about belly fat and explain why the issue is often far deeper than food and fitness. He shares how gut health, liver function, hormones, inflammation, stress, and nervous system regulation all influence where and why the body stores fat. He also discusses why so many women get trapped in cycles of restriction and over-exercising, and what needs to happen before the body feels safe enough to let go of excess weight.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why the thing most women do first to lose belly fat is the exact reason it's not working

- The surprising connection between your liver, gut, and hormones and why belly fat won't budge no matter what you eat
- What your bloating, puffiness, and stubborn belly fat are actually trying to tell you
- The one thing you have to fix before supplements, exercise, or diet will ever work for belly fat
- Why women who are scared to track their food are often the ones who need it most and what to do instead
- Why eating carbs at night might actually be the strategy that finally moves the needle for you
- The three supplements worth taking for belly fat and why the order you take them in actually matters
- Why women who do everything right still can't lose belly fat and the variable nobody talks about
