127 | Waking Up Tired and Gaining Weight? How Cortisol Is Blocking Fat Loss After 40
Struggling with weight gain after 40, stubborn belly fat, poor sleep, or constant stress? It may not be your willpower—it’s cortisol, your body’s main stress hormone.
In this episode of [Podcast Name], I’m breaking down how stress, sleep, and cortisol are deeply connected—and why high cortisol keeps women in perimenopause and menopause tired, anxious, and stuck at their weight despite eating healthy and exercising.
Here’s what you’ll learn today:
✅ The link between cortisol, sleep, and fat storage (especially belly fat)
✅ Why poor sleep raises cortisol—and high cortisol ruins sleep in a vicious cycle
✅ How hormone changes after 40 (declining estrogen, progesterone, and melatonin) make you more sensitive to stress
✅ The hidden ways cortisol slows your metabolism, increases cravings, and blocks fat loss
✅ A simple breathing exercise you can use anytime, anywhere to calm cortisol, reset your stress rhythm, and support fat burning
If you’re frustrated by menopause weight gain, fatigue, or restless nights, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on inside your body—and give you a practical tool you can use today to start seeing change.
