Is Your Belly Fat Caused By Hormones?
from The Real Heal - Intimate Conversations with Holistic Health Experts · host Dr. Renee Wellenstein
Are you eating clean, working out, but that stubborn belly fat just won't budge? The truth is—it's not about willpower, it's about hormones. In this episode, I'm breaking down how estrogen dominance and cortisol imbalances create belly fat in women over 40—and what you can actually do about it. You'll learn: ✅ Why estrogen dominance + fake estrogens (xenoestrogens) from the environment make fat loss harder ✅ How cortisol (your stress hormone) stores fat in the belly ✅ Why belly fat is more sensitive to stress than other areas ✅ The "perfect storm" of hormones, toxins, sleep, and diet that stalls weight loss ✅ Practical strategies to lower cortisol, balance hormones, and finally shrink stubborn belly fat If you feel like you're doing everything right but still spinning your wheels, this video is for you. 🎥 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mkARzmPxt1Y 📌 Connect with Me for More Hormone & Health Tips!
