Here’s why... when women hit their 40s and beyond, estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol shifts make fat storage around the midsection more likely.
This is about your hormones AND about how your body is processing and clearing them.
And that’s where your LIVER comes in.
Your liver is the body’s ultimate filter.
It processes excess hormones, toxins, and even the byproducts of stress.
When it’s overloaded... - whether from restrictive dieting, alcohol, processed foods, or even too many supplements... - your hormones can’t clear effectively.
That means more estrogen dominance, stubborn belly fat, and symptoms like bloating, mood swings, or night sweats.
The mistake?
Thinking that eating less will “fix” it.
In reality, under-eating slows your metabolism and puts more pressure on your liver.
The real fix is giving your liver the support it needs to do its job.
✨ Practical ways to start today:
– Add in cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts) to help metabolize estrogen.
– Stay hydrated so your body can flush waste.
– Reduce alcohol and refined sugar (both stress the liver).
– Focus on protein + fiber at meals to stabilize blood sugar.
– Prioritize stress management (because cortisol also runs through the liver).
When your liver is supported, hormones balance more easily, fat storage reduces, and your body finally feels safe to let go of the “protective” belly fat.
So stop punishing your body with restriction... and start giving it the nourishment it needs to heal.
The difference is night and day!
