You’re eating healthy, moving your body, cutting back on sugar, and maybe even tracking your food yet the belly bloat, puffiness, and extra weight around your middle just won’t budge. Here’s the truth: it’s not because you’re lazy, broken, or eating “too much.” Your body might actually be protecting you.

In this episode, Kylie shares three hidden reasons women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond hold on to belly fat (even when they’re doing everything “right”) and the exact habits that help your body feel safe enough to let it go naturally.

You’ll learn:

• How you can regulate your body
• How stress hormones like cortisol drive fat storage (and how to reset your levels)
• The gut–belly fat connection and how to calm inflammation
• The surprising role of insulin resistance (even with “normal” labs)
• Small, doable steps that make your body feel safe enough to release weight

If you’ve been skipping the bread, passing on fruit, loading up on protein, and doing everything “right” to feel lighter, but your body still feels tired, bloated, and stuck, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re having the conversation most women never get to hear, but desperately need. One that explains what’s really happening under the surface when you go low carb (or no carb), why your metabolism might be slowing down instead of speeding up, and how to actually nourish your body back to balance without fear, shame, or obsession.

You’ll also hear real client stories, like Elisa’s, who was stuck in a cycle of “eat less, lose more” that wasn’t working and what happened when we gave her the one thing she was afraid of: carbs.

You’ll Learn:

• Why low-carb diets often feel “good” at first but backfire for many women
• What happens to your thyroid, cortisol, gut microbes, and cravings when you go too low on carbs
• How to test your personal carb tolerance and metabolic flexibility
• What a healthy, hormone-supportive carb actually looks like (hint: fruit is not the enemy)
• How to support your metabolism and digestion without cutting more
• Simple, sustainable shifts you can start this week to feel better in your body

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you’ve eaten clean, exercised, stayed hydrated, taken your supplements, and still felt bloated, heavy, and uncomfortable by 3 p.m.? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re unpacking why that happens, what your bloating might actually be telling you, and how to finally feel lighter without adding more restrictions to your routine.

You’ll hear about real client stories like Rebecca, whose healthy meals were making her feel worse due to a hidden gut issue, and Sarah, whose bloating had nothing to do with bacteria at all. Their healing paths were completely different, and that’s the point: one-size-fits-all advice doesn’t work when it comes to gut and hormone health.

You’ll learn:

• Why bloating can have completely different root causes (and why powders and elimination diets often fail)
• The hidden triggers behind “mystery bloating” like low stomach acid, poor bile flow, or stress
• How slowing down and chewing your food more can dramatically improve digestion
• What to eat in the morning to support your gut and blood sugar
• Why constant snacking might actually be making your bloating worse
• The surprising impact of mineral depletion from filtered water, and how to fix it
• Simple, non-restrictive shifts you can start this week to feel better in your body

Your body isn’t working against you. It’s trying to communicate with you. Instead of throwing more supplements or diet rules at the problem, let’s focus on supporting your gut and nervous system with foundational, nourishing strategies that work with your body, not against it.
