 Struggling to lose belly fat, dealing with intense cravings, or waking up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep? It might not be your diet — it could be your cortisol.

In this episode, I’m breaking down 5 sneaky signs cortisol is sabotaging your weight loss after 40 and what most women completely miss about how stress hormones affect fat storage, cravings, energy crashes, and sleep patterns during perimenopause and menopause.
