Episode 37: Is it Bloating or Belly Fat? 🤷🏻♀️
Why Midlife Women Can’t Tell the Difference — and How to Fix Both
If your belly looks flat in the morning but swollen by evening — or if it’s “there all day” no matter how clean you eat — this episode is for you.
In this powerful training from the Fierce Women Community, Coach Clarice breaks down the REAL science behind bloating vs. belly fat, why they often feel the same, and how women over 40 can finally fix the root cause instead of chasing fad diets.
You’ll learn:
🔥 5 science-backed reasons bloating happens
• Hormonal shifts that slow digestion
• Gut microbiome imbalance (dysbiosis)
• Hidden inflammation + leaky gut
• Cortisol and the stress-bloat connection
• Food sensitivities, sodium, and water retention
🔥 5 hormonal reasons belly fat becomes stubborn
• Cortisol and the stress-storage loop
• Insulin resistance and blood sugar swings
• Estrogen decline + fat redistribution
• Muscle loss and slow metabolism
• Gut/liver sluggishness and estrogen dominance
🔥 How bloating and belly fat fuel each other
—and why you must fix them in the correct order
