You cut calories, added cardio, tried the fat burners... and your belly still won’t budge? It's not just YOU!

👉 Join my FREE masterclass to learn HOW to lose 2-5 inches off your menopause belly by the Holidays! https://fitchicksandhormones.kit.com/lose-2-5-inches-masterclass

In this episode I confess every belly fat “fix” I tried during menopause (yes, including a fat-sucking machine), and break down why eating less, more cardio, cutting carbs, fat burners, and even GLP-1s and HRT on their own aren’t the whole answer in midlife.

Plus, why we keep falling for these fixes, and what each one really costs us.

I’m Angie Marone, Holistic Hormone Health Practitioner and fitness coach helping midlife women feel strong and confident again.

If you crush Monday, fade by Wednesday, and you're back to "I'll start over" by Sunday, this one's for you. We're getting into the hormone reasons behind the cycle: why that Sunday night planning high is dopamine, why cutting calories hard raises cortisol and flips your hunger hormones by midweek, and why muscle changes everything after 40.

Plus how my own motivation shifted from the scale to the weights.

You don't need to cut carbs to build muscle or finally lose stubborn belly fat — you need to balance them. In this episode, Angie breaks down the exact protein-to-carb imbalance she sees over and over (even with "clean" carbs like rice, quinoa, and sweet potatoes).

What blood sugar swings do to your ability to build muscle and lose fat — especially once estrogen starts declining in perimenopause and menopause — and the simple protein-first approach that fixes it without cutting a single food out.

Angie also shares how this exact protein + lifting combination is the foundation of her 6-Week Menopause Muscle Building Program, starting Sunday, October 4th (only 5 spots).

You're eating clean, working out, hitting your protein — and still not feeling like yourself.

In this episode, Angie shares the story of figuring out she carries the MTHFR gene mutation (and slow COMT) — how a moldy living environment forced her to dig deeper into labs and testing, and how that one answer explained years of symptoms hitting way harder than what other women her age were experiencing.

Inside this episode: what MTHFR actually is, how you get tested for it, why it can make perimenopause symptoms so much more intense, why it might be the reason your HRT isn't working the way it should, and what to actually do differently once you know.

If you've ever looked at someone else's perimenopause and wondered why theirs looks so much easier than yours — this episode might be part of your answer.
