Are you doing everything you can to lose weight, yet your midlife belly seems to grow no matter how hard you work? Do you feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or constantly “on,” and notice it shows up in your cravings, sleep, and waistline? Have you wondered why stress — even the emotional kind — seems to make weight loss feel impossible in menopause?

In this episode, we uncover the deeper reason so many midlife women struggle with belly fat that will not respond to dieting or exercise: the powerful impact of cortisol, chronic stress, and hormonal shifts in menopause.

This is the clarity every frustrated, overwhelmed midlife woman deserves — a hopeful and practical starting point to reclaim your energy and confidence.
