212- How To Get Rid Of 'Meno Belly'

Cut The Crap With Beth And Matt
About this episode

Meno belly. Cortisol face. These are terms used to target menopausal women by influencers and grifters online. Not only are they completely bogus terms but they aren't endearing, either.

In this episode we dive into world of meno belly - what it is, what causes it, and how you can get rid of (hint: you don't need any supplements, detox teas, or coupon codes for a GLP-1).

We dig into:

    • What causes 'menu belly' and how you can take back control
    • Beth's reverse diet and her previous meno belly experience
    • Matt's powerlifting story and endurance training
    • Long term goals and focusing on the process, not the outcome
