Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉https://chalene.com/newsletter/ For women over 40, especially in perimenopause and menopause, belly fat isn’t just about calories or willpower. It’s about hormones, cortisol, and a specific type of fat most people don’t fully understand: visceral fat. And here’s the frustrating part… a lot of the advice women have been following for years can actually make it worse. In this episode, Chalene Johnson breaks down what’s really happening inside the body during midlife, why common weight loss strategies backfire, and what actually works to reduce stubborn belly fat without slowing metabolism or increasing stress. What Chalene Talks About: • Why visceral fat behaves differently (and why it’s harder to lose) • The real connection between cortisol, stress, and midsection weight gain • Why eating less can backfire in perimenopause and menopause • The “protein preloading” strategy that helped reduce belly fat • A simple way to hit protein goals without tracking or counting • Why certain workouts may be increasing stress hormones • The best type of movement to support fat loss after 40 • How muscle impacts metabolism and long-term fat loss • The supplements that may support blood sugar, sleep, and hormones If you’ve been doing everything “right” and still feel stuck with belly fat, this will finally make it make sense… and give you a much simpler way forward.
