Do You Have Menopause Belly? If So, Here's Why You May Be Struggling With
Your Weight?
The other day, I sent out a note about something called 'Menopause Belly' and
WOW...there was a ton of interest. So much so, that I thought I'd send out
a quick reminder. This is one of my last reminders. Don't wait to check
it out, or allow it to get lost in email clutter. Visit today and have a peek.
You'll find an excellent solution for this probem that so many women over 35
face. Here goes...
It's humiliating... confusing... and often painful. For women over 35, it
can be infuriating. And a total nightmare once you hit menopause. You eat less
and exercise harder, yet still put on weight, especially around the belly.
Add in the hot flashes, disrupted sleep and mood swings, and life can feel
unfair... like your body has betrayed you. What the heck is going on? It's
called hormonal burnout... and it can wreak havoc on your female metabolism.
Fortunately, research shows a clear way to reverse its effects.
The #1 Cause of Female Fat Gain Over 35...
While hormonal burnout can strike at any age, it affects all women as they
mature through menopause. And some even a few years earlier. It's caused by
declining levels of estrogen and its sister-hormone, progesterone. Normally,
they go up and down naturally like a see-saw. However, by 35, as ovulation
slows, hormonal burnout begins:
1) Progesterone plummets
2) Then estrogen starts to drop wildly
3) And fat gain around the middle kicks into high gear
When hormonal burnout strikes, your menopausal metabolism becomes vulnerable to
two major threats.
Threat 1: You Become More Carb-Sensitive
First, the decline in estrogen hurts your ability to process carbs. That's
because estrogen helps your body manage blood sugar. So less estrogen leads to
higher blood sugar. And higher blood sugar turns into fat, especially around the
belly. That's why an evening bowl of pasta can result in an extra pant size in
the morning!
So should you cut out carbs completely? Absolutely not. That just stresses out
your metabolism even more. And that brings up the next threat
Threat #2: You Become More Stress-Reactive
Once you're through menopause, your stress-hormone cortisol spikes up to 74%.
That's unfortunate, as a woman's metabolism is already more sensitive to stress
than a man's. But the drop in estrogen and progesterone makes matters even
worse. That's because they amplify the effects of your brain's "feel good"
molecules, serotonin and GABA. Those molecules help you stay happy, relaxed and
sleeping well. That acts like a shield, protecting you from the damaging effects
of stress. So with a weaker stress shield (due to lower estrogen and
progesterone) you're much more vulnerable to cortisol:
* It can break down collagen, making you look 5-10 years older
* It can eat away at muscle and bone, making you soft, saggy and brittle
* Worst of all, it can act like 'Miracle-Gro' for belly fat.
And that's not the kind of miracle you want.
The Menopause Belly Solution...
Fortunately, there is a way to conquer these dual threats: Turn your natural
hormonal rhythms into a metabolic advantage. This something women can do... but
men can not. By working with this advantage, one study found women can burn 65%
more fat during exercise than men. Plus, they can have more control over where
that fat is stored. And when this advantage is combined with a special type of
exercise, it can really help your mid-section slim back down. But every woman
has a unique set of hormonal rhythms. So to tap into this advantage, the first
step is to understand your specific hormone type.
What's Your Hormone Type?
That's where my good friend Dr. Jade Teta comes in. He's an expert on women's
metabolism. He's developed a tool that will reveal your hormone type in 60
seconds. To discover your hormone type to conquer menopause belly, visit:

But he doesn't stop there. He also gives you a customized plan for your exact
hormone type. It acts like an instruction manual for your body. It's based on
his proven 4M framework developed over the last 25 years and includes:
* Best foods to eat and when (the right amount of carbs is critical)
* Simple daily habits to keep a lid on cortisol so you keep burning fat
* A great workout that works wonders on the 'menopause belly'
This action plan will help protect you from those dual metabolic threats. And
help you feel what it's like to work with - instead of fight against - your
hormones. I hope you enjoy!

P.S. Every woman has a unique hormonal signature. But clinically, most women
fall into 1 of 7 core Hormone Types. Interestingly, your type can change over
time. This Hormone Type quiz will help you stay in sync with those changes so
