Hi there, friends.

I am so glad you're here.

So today we're gonna talk about the most annoying freaking topic that most of us can't get our minds off of, which is belly fat.

I swear it's a universal experience, and I think something so many of us are struggling with right now.

belly fat, absolutely killed my confidence.

during the years of perimenopause and the beginning of menopause, I was doing...

everything the same as I always had working out, getting up early.

eating right blah blah blah blah and suddenly I had this like, wrap around tire in my middle.

Made me feel self -conscious.

I would like turn to the side, look at myself in the mirror all the time.

Like, what is going on?

I started wearing looser clothes, trying to hide it.

That made me feel even worse because they're not like what I was wearing.

And it was kind of a spiral, really.

And then a lot of things weren't fitting anymore.

So I'd have like this side of the closet, like, Nothing back here I can't wear.

These are the only things I can wear.

And I wish somebody had made this simpler for me when I was in the worst of it, because I blamed, blamed...

blame myself.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that it's 100 % gone.

Far from it.

I think a little bit of belly fat at this stage of life is almost a given.

And I'm not going to be one of those women with a six pack.

It's not how my body carries weight.

And I've made peace with that.

But I do feel better than I have in a long time.

And it's thanks to so many incredible doctors I've interviewed on this podcast, my own personal doctors.

It's just, it's made a huge difference because I understand what's going on.

It's not my fault every day of my life.

The difference is that I actually apply what they tell me in my real life.

And sometimes I feel like I'm your guinea pig.

I love, I actually love it.

I take what I learned from the smartest people in this space and I try it.

And today I'm going to walk you through what stuck.

And I want to warn you before I get started, a lot of what I'm about to tell you, you might know.

But what I found through doing this show

and talking to the top experts in the world is that

when you pull back all the noise on social

and in the press and in the headlines and the critics that are out there, the most simple stuff, back to basic stuff, is what actually works.

You don't need another machine.

You don't need another...

low carb diet, you don't need a special juice cleanse set, blah, whatever.

It's not a quick fix.

It's going to take a little bit of work.

and a little bit of consistency. but it's doable.

And you're just going to feel better in general because you're doing something.

So I'm going to walk through what has been working for me.

Quick disclaimer before I dive in.

I'm not a doctor.

I'm a journalist who has lived through this.

Take what I share to your own doctor because your body and your history are yours.

So I'm going to walk through what has been working for me.

So I'm Before I get into what I did, I want to tell you why it's happening, because that's the part I didn't know.

And so that was a huge hurdle.

And I think that understanding it is half the battle.

When you don't understand it, that's where you're blaming yourself, saying like, "I'm doing all these things right." This isn't your fault.

in perimenopause and menopause our hormones shift specifically estrogen that drops.

When estrogen drops, which we've had all along, bodies start storing fat differently the fat that used to live on your hips

and your chest in your fertile years has moved to your

middle it's not your imagination it's not your fault it is biology which we didn't learn in biology On top of that, you start losing muscle mass,

which is your body's calorie burning engine.

More muscle, more calories you're burning.

If you're storing more, you're burning less, and your sleep is a mess.

your stress is probably higher, and your hormones are doing kind of like the cha -cha.

You're basically set up for failure.

So when you say I'm doing exactly what I did at 35 and it's not working, You're right, it's not.

The rules have changed and nobody told us about them.

So today I want to tell you, and I'm just going to go through the five things that have moved the needle for me.

And I took some time to like really sit down and do this so you're not going, oh, thanks, Tamsen, you gave me another to -do list to do on this Monday.

So number one, I started eating way more protein and fiber than I ever had before.

I never talked about protein.

I never talked about fiber.

I didn't care about those things.

I cared about calories and fat.

So this is the biggest one.

I had been eating like I was still in my 30s for years.

And at some point, my body was like, no, ma 'am, that's not working.

Protein is the most important thing you can put in a plate at this stage in life.

It is what builds and protects your muscle, And your muscle is a thing burning your belly fat in the background while you're doing all the other stuff.

The number I was given by Dr. Rocio Salasuelan, who is a triple board certified endocrinologist and one of my favorite humans,

is around 90 to 100 grams of protein.

And trust me, I sat in her office.

I'm like, what?

I can't get that.

Spread it across your day because you can.

not 80 grams at dinner, because your body only uses about 30 per meal for muscle.

So think about that.

If you're trying to get 90 to 100, it's got to be 30 per meal.

So that's three different times a day.

I used to try to get...

a 50 gram protein meal at the end of the day just to sort of play catch up

and it wasn't making a difference and now i know why

so you need to spread that out three

or four times a day even all day long here's what

it looks like for me on a regular day maybe

when i'm not traveling and i try to keep it as close to this as i can

when i'm traveling

but i'm not going to lie to you it doesn't always

work i start every morning with what i call my hot girl monoplus smoothie

100

because i thought that was a fun name i pack everything i need into one smoothie it's delicious

101

I'll put the recipe for you on Substack so you have it.

102

It's got the protein in there.

103

And then after that, from there-- so I've done my first one.

104

And then from there, the proteins that I lean on for the rest of the day, because, you know, I don't eat meat.

105

I've not eaten that for a very, very long time.

106

That's just my preference.

107

It has nothing to do with this episode or any of this conversation.

108

Other things I lean on, cottage cheese.

109

greek yogurt tofu which i love cooked a million different ways tuna, eggs, beans, fish.

110

I'm going to give you some of my favorite recipes

111

that are easy because I don't like to spend hours in the kitchen.

112

I'll put them on social.

113

I'll put them on Substack.

114

But you have to find what works for you.

115

And you can interchange if you do chicken, if you do red meat, whatever you want to do.

116

I'll say this.

117

I really hesitate to tell you to track your food because for me, that can get to be obsessive really fast.

118

I don't do it.

119

But here's what I do.

120

When I'm putting a meal together, I center the whole meal around the protein first.

121

Like, what's the protein?

122

That's the anchor.

123

And then everything else is so easy.

124

It gets built around it.

125

Veggies, greens, carbs, fats, all that comes afterwards.

126

But that one shift of building the meal around the protein It felt a lot easier instead of like, oh, yeah, we'll add some protein in at the end.

127

It changed the game because it made it easier to know what I was going to do for every meal.

128

And this was really hard for me at first.

129

I'm a pescatarian.

130

So I've already cut out that big source of protein.

131

And sometimes I get the egg and fish ick.

132

So then I'm like, what am I going to do now?

133

It's happened to me before.

134

It's probably happened to you before in menopause.

135

I get weird, random food aversions out of nowhere.

136

Don't know why.

137

Suddenly something smells weird and I'm not going to eat it for a long time.

138

I can't look at it.

139

And then the thing goes away and then I want it.

140

And I don't know what's going on there.

141

No one warned me about that.

142

So if anybody knows what's going on, Please feel free.

143

I just, that's happened to me.

144

Anyway, the point is, is even with all of that, hitting the protein number is doable.

145

You just have to get a little creative.

146

The other part of this is fiber, which no one told me about.

147

When I thought of fiber, I'm like, "Oh, my grandmother took fiber." That's all I knew about fiber.

148

I started doing this podcast.

149

And I was hearing fiber literally in every single interview with any doctor that came in here.

150

Most of us are barely getting half the fiber we need.

151

Fiber feeds your gut bacteria, and your gut bacteria They're chatting with your hormones all day long.

152

So when your gut's happy and feeling good, your hormones work better.

153

your blood sugar steadier, And then those cravings go down.

154

And belly fat responds to that the target is around 30 grams a day.

155

So I would be like 90 to 100 protein, 30 grams of fiber.

156

Those are those two numbers that I think are important.

157

Let's talk about fiber.

158

Berries.

159

beans, which we also have with protein, leafy greens, oats, chia seeds, which also have protein, Whatever works for you.

160

just way more than you think you And that was the foundation for me because I thought, oh, I had it.

161

I had a little of this.

162

That's a little fiber.

163

I had no idea 30 was a number I needed to look at.

164

So, If you get this part down, I think a lot of the other stuff gets a lot easier.

165

Before we get back to the conversation, I put together a free one -page guide, Hormone Therapy 101.

166

It is everything I wish I had known walking into my first conversation about hormones.

167

What estrogen does, what progesterone does, what testosterone does, what labs to ask for, and also the questions to bring with you to the doctor.

168

I made it for you.

169

It's free.

170

It's all there in the show notes.

171

Download it.

172

Print it out if you want to.

173

Bring it to your next appointment.

174

You deserve to walk in there knowing exactly what to do and also what to ask for.

175

you Number two.

176

I started lifting heavy things.

177

This is one I have a lot of feelings about, so I want to take a minute on it.

178

For most of my life, I worked out to be thin and skinny.

179

And I want to say it out loud because I know a lot of you did too.

180

We have talked about that.

181

We've talked about disordered eating.

182

We've talked about how we thought about these things in the 80s or the 90s.

183

Cardio, cardio, cardio, the treadmill, the elliptical, any new cardio machine there was, soul cycle.

184

I thought cardio equaled fat loss, and that was the math.

185

Not true.

186

Not even a little bit true.

187

Especially not this stage of life.

188

The moment I shifted my mindset was

189

when I started thinking about what I want the next few decades of my life to look like.

190

I want to be one of those badass old ladies who outlifts younger women in the gym.

191

and the men.

192

I had this moment recently on a plane.

193

This woman in her 70s, I posted this.

194

A woman in her 70s, I was trying to get to my carry -on, which was in the overhead bin behind me, so I couldn't reach it.

195

And she's like...

196

"Oh, is this your suitcase?" And I said, "Yeah." And she goes, "I'll get it for you." And I go, "Oh my gosh, no, it's okay." And she goes, "No." ripped it out of the overhead.

197

Her arms were jacked.

198

She popped open the, you know, handle for me and she's like, here you go.

199

And I went, oh my God, I want, I want to be your friend and I want to be you when I'm older.

200

And then the guys were like standing around looking.

201

I'm no longer interested in being skinny.

202

I'm interested in being strong.

203

And the bonus is that being strong is what actually helps get rid of that belly fat.

204

And let me explain why.

205

I know your instinct is going to be that lifting weights instead of cardio doesn't really make sense for fat loss, but it actually does.

206

According to the experts, here's the science.

207

Muscle is metabolically active tissue, which is a fancy way of saying it burns calories all day long, even when you're sitting on the couch.

208

The more muscle you have, the more your body burns at rest.

209

So when you lift, You're not just toning, you're raising the floor of how many calories your body burns when you're doing nothing.

210

And when estrogen drops in perimenopause, your body starts losing muscle faster than it used to, which means your metabolism slows down, which means belly fat.

211

So lifting is actually how I'm fighting back against the biology.

212

And here's what nobody told you.

213

You don't have to live in the gym to do it.

214

You don't have to bench press a car.

215

You just need to start hitting the weights.

216

And I promise you it will pay off.

217

Squats with a dumbbell.

218

deadlifts, a few weighted exercises a few times a week.

219

I started small.

220

I added more over time.

221

and i'm definitely not the same person i was two years ago physically If you can't get to a gym, you can do this at home.

222

You can do this without weights.

223

You can do this with no equipment at all.

224

You can do body weight squats in your kitchen between meetings, during a meeting, just turn your camera off.

225

10 squats every 45 minutes during the workday, There's research that says that adds up to more than a single 30 -minute walk at the end of the day.

226

We've lost our excuses.

227

You don't need a gym, you don't need a trainer, you just need to start picking things up. Or squatting.

228

All right, number three, I stopped dieting harder when things weren't working.

229

Yeah.

230

This has been really hard for me.

231

And it's probably going to be the hardest for a lot of you because this is a mentality shift.

232

everything we have been told our whole lives.

233

is to do the opposite.

234

My instinct, when my belly fat showed up, I was like panicked.

235

Eat less, cut calories harder, get through it, skip breakfast, skip lunch, salad for lunch, salad for dinner, push, push, push, eat less, less, less.

236

It was making it worse.

237

Here's what I learned from Dr. Amy Shaw, who is a double board certified physician with a background in nutrition and immunology.

238

She's amazing at this.

239

When you undereat, Your body's not stupid.

240

Your body knows you're starving it.

241

So it raises your cortisol.

242

which is your stress hormone, And high cortisol signals your body to hold on to the belly fat.

243

Like, oh my gosh, we don't know when we're going to eat again.

244

Hold on to that belly fat.

245

Your body's trying to save you.

246

It thinks there's a famine.

247

It thinks that it's gripping it so tight with both hands.

248

Same thing happens with over -exercising, with bad sleep, with constant stress.

249

All of it is jacking up the cortisol and that's storing fat.

250

So I remember I was doing a lot of that trying to lose the belly fat.

251

And actually, I was telling my body like, hey, hold on to it just in case I don't get anything else.

252

opposite.

253

of what i should be doing so this sounds like you

254

if this makes sense to you i mean i really think about what you're doing to yourself because you shouldn't

255

hurting yourself through all this.

256

Because once I understood it, I stopped.

257

I stopped skipping meals.

258

I started eating real meals with protein.

259

I stopped trying to obliterate myself in the gym on the treadmill.

260

I started adding in walks, especially in the sun, which calmed my body down, made me feel good mentally.

261

And I prioritized sleep, which I had never done in my life.

262

I cover sleep in another episode and it's, when anybody says to me, like, what's the first thing we should work on?

263

Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep.

264

To me, that's it.

265

And actually, what's ironic is doing less in some areas is what got things moving for me.

266

So if you've been struggling through this and it's not working, Try the opposite.

267

Eat more, the right things, not like more popcorn and raisinets, but the right things.

268

Move differently, not harder.

269

try to get sleep more at least get to sleep at the same time

270

and try to wake up around the same time get out in the sun and walk, your body's not the problem to solve.

271

It's a system to work with it.

272

And that made such a huge difference.

273

And I know we're filled with all these...

274

lists during this time of things to do, but a lot of these can be incorporated into your real life

275

so you don't have to set aside hours and hours and hours for self -care because that's just bullshit.

276

Can we talk about socks for a second?

277

Because I genuinely did not know I was a sock person until Bombas came about.

278

Summer is fully here and between my walks, the gym, traveling to Italy with my dad, I am on my feet constantly.

279

And I'll say the difference between a good sock

280

and a bad sock is something I underestimated for most of my adult life.

281

Bombas has sports socks for literally everything, running, yoga, the gym, soft and cushioned exactly where you want it.

282

airy sweat wicking my feet feel as good at the end of the walk as they did at the start

283

and i know that sounds like something you say in an ad but I actually mean it.

284

The compression socks for travel are also something I will not get on a plane without anymore.

285

They look nothing like those compression socks you're picturing right now.

286

Actual colors, actually cute, and my legs feel completely normal when I land.

287

And for every item you buy, an essential clothing item gets donated to someone facing housing insecurity.

288

Over 200 ,000 donations and counting.

289

So you feel good and you do good, which I love.

290

291

That's B -O -M -B -A -S dot com slash Tamsin.

292

293

Number four.

294

I started paying attention to my gut.

295

Not the belly fat cut, but my gut inside.

296

This is the one nobody talks about.

297

And honestly, I think is one of the most important things I've learned through the whole process.

298

Your gut It's such an ugly word, right?

299

Your gut is not just where you digest food.

300

Your gut, bacteria, the trillions of organisms living in your digestive tract, are always in constant conversation with your hormones,

301

your brain, your immune system.

302

When estrogen drops in perimenopause, your gut bacteria shift.

303

The things you used to be able to eat, all of a sudden you're bloated.

304

foods that you could digest just fine sit there.

305

You constantly have a stomachache.

306

I used to hear myself like, oh my God, I have a stomachache every time after I eat.

307

If your stomach is feeling different all the time, it's real.

308

The state of your gut affects your hormones, your inflammation, and your belly fat.

309

Those are all those all touch each other.

310

If you're trying to fix the belly without fixing the gut part, that is a huge missing piece.

311

So, This is what it looks like in real life.

312

Doctors I've interviewed have told me that two things really matter for your gut.

313

eating a wide variety of foods, especially plants, the more different that you eat, the more diverse your gut bacteria.

314

The more diverse your gut is, the healthier it is.

315

So if you eat the same five things every single week, that is working against you.

316

Got to mix it up a little bit.

317

And then second, fermented foods every single day.

318

And I had to force myself to do this.

319

I started with Greek yogurt, which was great live cultures in that.

320

Sauerkraut, I still have to like, you know, raw apple cider vinegar and water.

321

I can get through that one too.

322

I rotate all these things so it doesn't feel boring.

323

In Asia and Europe, fermented foods are built into how people eat.

324

And here we have to be intentional about it.

325

But you can find all those things at the grocery store now, and they're more common than ever before.

326

When I started doing this, the bloating, which was a huge problem for me because I felt, I felt, awful.

327

It was debilitating sometimes.

328

My stomach felt flatter just from less inflammation, not from weight loss or anything, just from less inflammation.

329

And the longer I've done it, I notice the better everything works.

330

My gut is in a good place.

331

Okay.

332

Number five, I'm saving.

333

I'm saving this one for last.

334

I cut way back on alcohol.

335

And And the reason is, is because...

336

it might have made one of the biggest differences out of all five, which I hate to admit that.

337

I did a whole episode on it.

338

I'll put that down in the show notes for you.

339

But here's a short version, because you know a lot about alcohol already.

340

Alcohol is one of the biggest accelerants of belly fat in midlife, and most of us did not ever realize that.

341

The biggest reason that alcohol literally stops your body from burning fat.

342

I'm going to repeat that.

343

The minute alcohol hits your system, your body stops burning fat because alcohol is technically a toxin to your body.

344

Your body prioritizes burning the alcohol off before it does anything else.

345

including burning the food you're eating or the fat that you've been trying to lose.

346

So while the wine is keeping you awake at night, it's still sitting in your system, and the fat burning is on pause.

347

And the food you ate with the wine, the cheese, whatever you did, It's sitting there.

348

It's not burning.

349

It got stored.

350

It just got stored.

351

Thank you.

352

On top of that, alcohol spikes cortisol, again, our friend cortisol, which we just talked about, and then cortisol stores fat in your middle.

353

Alcohol crashes your blood sugar, which means cravings the next day, which means eating things you wouldn't normally eat, like anything you can find, basically.

354

Any package item you can find because you know you guys are not reaching for like an apple.

355

I'm not.

356

Yeah.

357

One glass of wine on a Saturday is potentially affecting your eating on.

358

whatever Saturday night was, Sunday, your sleep Saturday night, your workout on Sunday.

359

So just think about that.

360

That drink can do that.

361

When I started paying attention to this and cut way back, Megali responded faster than almost anything else I did.

362

It was that change that moved the needle, I think, the fastest because it really affected everything.

363

Because then I was starting to go to the gym instead of just like hitting my alarm 100 times the next morning.

364

If you're only going to do one of the five things and that is your prerogative, I would try to cut down on the drinking.

365

And listen, I've not quit drinking.

366

Be clear about that.

367

You see me with a glass of champagne on my social media a lot.

368

There's no one right answer, but I cut way back and the difference was real.

369

If you want to listen to that episode on alcohol, it's a deeper conversation.

370

And I think it's one where we kind of get into all the nuances of it.

371

Talk about mocktails, talk about recipes, talk about other ways to approach it in social situations.

372

Because I think all of that is kind of intertwined.

373

So here's what I want you to take from this.

374

The reason this stuff works is because it's simple.

375

And simple is what holds up over decades.

376

So there's no machine or fad that is going to do for you what consistent protein is.

377

lifting heavy things, eating for your gut, Sleeping enough.

378

walking outside in the sun, And rethinking your alcohol will do.

379

It ain't sexy.

380

I know it's not what social media is trying to sell you.

381

But this is what the actual real experts are saying about the science.

382

And this is what worked for me.

383

And I want to say this one more time because I think it's important to repeat it.

384

I'm not in the business of being skinny anymore.

385

I'm in the business now of being strong.

386

The whole point of taking care of yourself in this stage of life is that the next two, three, four decades, whatever it is, are really kick -ass ones,

It was about I was a stranger in my body.

394

Like, I didn't have my confidence.

395

And what these five things gave me back was not a flat stomach, because I told you that is not happening.

396

They gave me back feeling like myself.

397

And that is worth watching way more than any number on the scale.

398

I don't even use the scale anymore.

399

I hate the scale.

400

Before I let you go, if you're finding this conversation helpful, if you want to go deeper, my book, How to Menopause, covers a lot of what we talked about.

401

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
