236 | Why Estrogen Changes Where You Store Belly Fat After 40

Have you looked at your stomach lately and thought, "Wait…where did THAT come from?"

Maybe the scale hasn't changed much, but your waist has. Your jeans fit differently, you're carrying more belly fat, and the things that worked in your 30s aren't getting the same response anymore.

There's a reason for that—and in this episode, we're talking about one of the big players: estrogen.

This is the first episode in my hormone series, and we're digging into how changing estrogen during perimenopause and menopause can affect body composition, insulin sensitivity, muscle, and where your body tends to store fat.

But I don't want you walking away thinking hormone imbalance means you're doomed to midlife belly fat.

We're talking about what you CAN do: strength training, building muscle, eating enough protein, using healthy carbohydrates strategically, moving throughout your day, and supporting sleep and recovery.

And if you're trying to lose weight with high protein, you'll learn why protein matters—but why protein alone isn't the whole answer.
