Deep dives
The Challenge of Belly Fat and Hormonal Changes
Belly fat, particularly in women over 35, is often linked to hormonal changes associated with perimenopause. This transition can lead to decreased resilience to stress and increased cortisol levels, which contribute to abdominal fat accumulation. The significance of cortisol is underscored, given that the body has a higher concentration of cortisol receptors in the abdomen, making chronic stress a contributor to weight gain in that area. Effective stress management strategies and understanding hormonal balance become crucial for addressing these changes.
