midlife fat loss over 40 with Kelly Joseph, FASTer Way Coach
On my midlife glow up journey!

If your belly’s growing but your motivation isn’t… keep reading.


Let’s talk about that midsection.The one that feels new. Different. Uninvited.


And no matter how much you walk, skip dinner, or swap salads for everything… it’s not budging.


Girl, it’s not you.It’s visceral fat. And it needs a different strategy — one that works with your midlife hormones, not against them.


What is Visceral Fat?

Visceral fat is the deep belly fat stored around your organs. It’s the kind linked to:

  • Insulin resistance

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Hormonal imbalance


In midlife, estrogen drops, cortisol rises, and our metabolism takes a hit — making visceral fat way easier to gain and way harder to lose.


I had a hysterectomy at age 38 and by 40 that lovely belly found me.


Why Old-School Diets Make It Worse

You’ve probably tried:

  • Cutting carbs

  • Eating 1200 calories

  • Doing tons of cardio

And maybe… nothing changed. Or you felt worse.That’s because those tactics spike stress, eat away at muscle, and totally ignore your hormones.

You can eat yummy AND lose the bad fat!


What Actually Works in Midlife (and Feels Good!)

Here’s the formula that I teach and LIVE by and may just work for you:

✅ Intermittent Fasting (12-16 hours)-Helps reduce insulin resistance, inflammation, and bloating.Proven to support hormone balance in perimenopause and beyond.

✅ Strength Training-More muscle = higher metabolism = less fat.Goodbye muffin top, hello strength and confidence.

✅ Carb Cycling-We alternate low- and high-carb days to support hormones, thyroid, and energy.

✅ Nervous System Regulation-Walking, stretching, sleep, laughter, pleasure — they all lower cortisol and help your body release stored fat.
