Let’s talk about the thing no one wants to talk about…Belly fat.

It shows up quietly, settles in like an uninvited guest, and refuses to leave — no matter how “healthy” you try to be.

So what actually causes it? 👉 Diet? 👉 Lack of exercise? 👉 Hormones, stress, age, medications, soda?

You might be surprised.

This week on the Healthy Looks Great on You podcast, I’m diving deep into the unexpected root cause of belly fat — and why it’s not about willpower, calories, or crunches.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through: ✅ Why stress and busyness are more to blame than your sweet tooth ✅ How the “no plan = takeout again” cycle keeps your body stuck ✅ Why ultra-processed foods are a symptom — not the root problem ✅ The plant-powered pantry staples that can turn dinner stress into dinner success

And if you’re tired of that 5PM “what’s for dinner” panic, I created something that can help you take back control (without dieting or spending hours in the kitchen):
