213 | Think all belly fat is the same? Think again.

If you've been frustrated by the changes happening around your middle after 40, this episode may completely change the way you think about your health. The truth is, not all belly fat is created equal. While the fat you can pinch under your skin may bother you, there's another type—visceral belly fat—that surrounds your organs and has a much bigger impact on your long-term health. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I'm breaking down what visceral belly fat is, why it becomes more common during perimenopause and menopause, and how hormones, chronic stress, blood sugar, and muscle all play a role. You'll also learn why a lose weight high protein approach, paired with strength training, daily walking, and better stress management, can help your body become healthier from the inside out. Most importantly, I want to encourage you to stop chasing a smaller body out of frustration and start caring for the body God gave you through faithful stewardship. Small, consistent choices really do add up. If you're ready for practical coaching, simple strategies, and encouragement from women who understand exactly what you're going through, I'd love to invite you to join my Belly Fat Breakthrough Tribe.
