Why Your Belly Fat Won’t Budge (It’s Not What You Think)
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
