If you're struggling with fat loss in perimenopause or menopause and wondering whether carbs are the problem, this episode is for you.

In “The Truth About Carbs and Fat Loss in Perimenopause and Menopause,” I break down what’s really happening in your body after 40 — and why cutting carbs may not be the solution you’ve been told it is.

Many women in perimenopause and menopause are advised to go low-carb to lose belly fat. But hormonal changes, shifts in estrogen, rising cortisol levels, muscle loss, and insulin sensitivity all affect how your body processes carbohydrates. Simply eating less isn’t always the answer.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔️ How estrogen impacts blood sugar and fat storage
✔️ Why low-carb diets often stop working after 40
✔️ The connection between cortisol, stress, and belly fat
✔️ How to eat carbs strategically for fat loss
✔️ What actually supports metabolism in perimenopause and menopause

Carbs are not inherently fattening — but the way your body responds to them can change due to the hormonal fluctuations that begin in perimenopause. Understanding how to balance carbohydrates, protein, and blood sugar is key to sustainable fat loss in perimenopause and menopause.

If you’re tired of dieting harder and seeing fewer results, this evidence-based breakdown will help you approach fat loss in a smarter, hormone-supportive way.
