EP. 61: Why Belly Fat Suddenly Appears After 40 (Even When Your Routine Hasn't Changed)

Send a text

Up to 70% of women experience unexplained weight gain during perimenopause — and most are told to just eat less and move more. In this episode, Brooke Davis breaks down why that advice makes things worse, what's actually driving fat loss resistance in midlife, and shares the personal story that completely changed how she approaches women's metabolic health.

You'll Learn:

• Why metabolic slowdown is usually a systems issue, not a calorie problem
• How perimenopause changes your metabolic priorities
• What chronic dieting does to your body's ability to burn fat
• Why pushing harder is often the exact wrong move
