The Hidden Ways Stress Is Sabotaging Your Weight Loss After 40

Feeling like you're doing everything right, but the weight keeps creeping up?

If you're a woman over 40 juggling endless responsibilities and wondering why that glass of wine and "healthy" eating aren't delivering results, this episode reveals what's really going on beneath the surface.

Dr. Orlena exposes the hidden culprit behind stubborn weight gain after 40: chronic stress. But this isn't about meditation apps or bubble baths. You'll discover how stress literally rewires your hormones and metabolism—especially during menopause—making your body four times more sensitive to storing belly fat.

In this eye-opening episode, you'll learn:

• Why menopause amplifies stress's impact on your body, creating a cortisol-driven cycle that makes belly fat almost impossible to lose using conventional methods
• How your go-to stress relievers are backfiring: that nightly wine disrupts deep sleep and prevents fat burning for up to 36 hours, while afternoon coffee spikes keep your stress hormones elevated
• The counterintuitive secret to finally losing weight: stop stressing about weight loss itself and instead build simple systems around the four pillars (nutrition, movement, sleep, and emotional wellness) that prevent stress from building in the first place

If you're tired of fighting your body and ready to understand what's really keeping you stuck, this episode offers the clarity and practical strategies you've been searching for. Say goodbye to exhaustion and hello to feeling energized, healthy, and truly fabulous.
