#47 Is it Perimenopause causing belly fat or is it just fuel on the fire

This episode is the conversation I wish every high-achieving woman could hear.So many women tell me, “I’m doing everything right.”And what they usually mean is they’ve spent years chasing the same fixes: cutting carbs, fasting, eating “clean”, and training harder to force fat loss.Then perimenopause arrives — and suddenly the belly fat, cravings, sleep issues, and slow muscle gain get blamed on hormones, as if that’s the whole story.In this episode, I unpack the non-obvious part: many of those “fixes” create metabolic stress, and perimenopause simply amplifies it because your buffer is smaller now.That’s why the same strategy that worked in your 30s starts failing loudly in your 40s.If you’re disciplined, consistent, and still not getting a response from your body — press play.Get your FREE Nutrition Guide here:https://body-design-with-lou.kit.com/free-nutrition-guide
