<p><strong>Let’s be honest. Losing belly fat in midlife isn’t about cutting carbs or working out harder. In this  episode Chalene Johnson breaks down what actually works and what doesn’t when it comes to stubborn menopausal and perimenopausal belly fat. If you feel stuck, bloated, or frustrated despite doing everything right, there’s a reason. Hormonal shifts and changes in metabolism make old strategies less effective. You’ll learn two different approaches—one that’s realistic and sustainable, and one for when you’re ready to go all in. Plus, the supplements, workouts, and daily habits that helped Chalene see real results.</strong></p> <p><strong>Watch this episode on YouTube this Sunday!!</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@chalenejohnson/videos"><strong> </strong><span><strong>https://www.youtube.com/@chalenejohnson/videos</strong></span></a></p> <p> </p> <p>🤓 <strong>Related Links</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Book Your Age Well Appointment with MIDI</strong> 👉<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2pCZEw1LUxDQmNqZ1pKWXZqdWl3MGkxUlVmd3xBQ3Jtc0tsQkdoT2hzV2NqS1doaXhhNElWUHhmWTVQMnZndklnR3JIajRPYWhFaFBIdE44d3hYalRtVnlObzZhVU95ZVNLYVB6MGFtLThXWl9ISjlzSWVHVE1WdEhHdDRicnI2YjE5WS11MTFEODRlcmdMcDlNcw&q=http://chalene.com/MIDI&v=6FTZF_dnL0s"><strong>http://chalene.com/MIDI</strong></a></li> <li><strong>Smart Creatine+ by BrainMD</strong> 👉<a href="http://chalene.com/creatine"><span><strong>http://Chalene.com/creatine</strong></span></a></li> <li><strong>Magnesium Breakthrough -</strong> <a href="http://bioptimizers.com/chalene"><span><strong>Bioptimizers.com/chalene</strong></span></a></li> <li><strong>MassZymes Digestive Enzymes -</strong> <a href="http://chalene.com/digest"><span><strong>http://chalene.com/digest</strong></span></a></li> <li><strong>Berberine Breakthrough (Blood Sugar Support) -</strong> <a href="http://chalene.com/BBT"><span><strong>http://chalene.com/BBT</strong></span></a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>🤓 <strong>What You’ll Learn</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Why belly fat gets harder to lose after 40</strong></li> <li><strong>Four strategies that actually work for midlife weight loss</strong></li> <li><strong>Supplements that made a real difference for Chalene</strong></li> <li><strong>How to tell if your workouts are working</strong> <strong><em>against</em></strong> <strong>you</strong></li> <li><strong>The truth about protein, fiber, and digestive enzymes</strong></li> <li><strong>What it means to live a “fat-shredding” lifestyle</strong></li> <li><strong>Two approaches—one realistic, one all-in—so you can choose your pace<br> <br></strong></li> </ul> <p>🎯<strong>Join Chalene on Patreon for 7 Days FREE </strong> 👉 <a href="http://chalene.com/more"><strong>http://chalene.com/more</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Camp Be More 2026!!
