Episode Description from the Publisher

If you feel like your body is holding on to belly fat no matter how "healthy" you eat… this episode may explain why. In this bonus teaching, I'm talking about something I never connected to fat loss until my own midlife hormone journey: the nervous system. Because after 40, many women are living in constant stress mode without even realizing it. Between hormone imbalance, inflammation, poor sleep, emotional overload, and nonstop responsibilities, your body can start operating like it's constantly under pressure. And when your body doesn't feel safe… it holds on. In this episode, we're unpacking how chronic stress impacts belly fat burning, blood sugar, cravings, inflammation, cortisol, and hormone balance — and why peace may be one of the most powerful things you can pursue in midlife. I'm also sharing simple, practical ways to support your nervous system naturally through breathing, slowing down, strategic exercise, rest, and reconnecting with God's peace in the middle of a busy season. If you're tired of pushing harder and still feeling stuck, this conversation is for you.
