Hormone Reset Day 5

Today we’re breaking down why fat becomes more difficult to lose in midlife—and why it often redistributes to the belly, hips, or lower body even when the scale hasn’t changed. Stubborn fat is almost always the result of a “perfect storm” of shifting hormones, declining muscle mass, rising cortisol, thyroid changes, and insulin resistance. Women have significantly more cortisol receptors in the abdomen than in other areas of the body, which makes midsection fat especially responsive to stress. Add in declining estrogen and testosterone, disrupted thyroid signals, and blood sugar instability, and the body becomes primed for fat storage rather than fat burning. What stubborn fat can tell you: • Belly fat may point toward cortisol dysregulation or insulin resistance • Lower-body fat can suggest estrogen dominance • Fat storage everywhere often reflects a combination of hormone shifts • Gut health plays a major role in weight loss resistance and inflammation • Fiber and antioxidants help detoxify hormones, support thyroid health, and regulate blood sugar Where to focus: Gut health, stress reduction, adrenal support, sleep, and metabolic stability are the foundation for breaking through stubborn fat. This includes: • Aiming for 35 grams of fiber per day • Prioritizing whole foods, especially vegetables, herbs, spices, seeds, and high-fiber foods • Using supplemental fibers when needed (sunfiber, psyllium husk, pectins, resistant starches) • Supporting gut microbial diversity to reduce inflammation and improve hormone clearance Cortisol naturally rises during perimenopause and beyond, even in women who “don’t feel stressed.” Low-grade infections, blood sugar swings, and chronic inflammation all elevate cortisol further. Because estrogen normally balances cortisol, its decline makes these effects more pronounced.
