I stopped restricting and lost 10 pounds. Here’s the biology behind why.
The moment I stopped fighting my body and started understanding my biology, that's when everything shifted.
I've gotten more defined through my midsection than I was in my 40s. And it is SO much easier than what I was doing before.
If you're over 40 and you feel like you're doing all the right things and the belly fat just won't budge, this is for you. It IS possible.

I love you, Chalene!! You’re so helpful and inspirational!!❤
That’s so sweet. Thank you!!! 😍😍
@chalenejohnsonYou’re very welcome!❤
I hate mine too!!!!
Do so how did you do it? What you did to understand your biology??
Yes! Please dish– we need to know what you did!
I broke it all down today in my longer video ! https://youtu.be/QUTrtHG5PjU?si=AK6DBxNMifROIBTM
Can anything be done for parenthesis lines around the mouth?
Collagen can help a bit, so can estrogen cream, but it’s minor. Typically that area is due to laxity in the skin, which really can only be improved with a facelift, or some tightening cosmetic procedures. There are some lasers that seem promising. And then of course many people do filler in that area, but I’m not a fan of that option. It fills the lines but I think it makes the face look heavy in the front. I see a lot of that here in Miami and it’s not cute.
@chalenejohnson I don’t think facelift would be the answer. Yours look more exaggerated. Unfortunately I suppose it’s true that if you get something fixed, it creates a whole other problem
I hate my midsection too. I need to do so something
Happy for you! You look AMAZING! YOU encouraged me to go on Creatine😘
So what do we do to figure out the biology of our post menopausal bodies?? Help!
Midi health, hrt, lift heavy, get good sleep, eat high protein whole foods, walk instead of high intensity cardio to lower cortisol.
Your face looks amazing! So so good
Just out of curiosity wasn’t there a video where you said you used and liked the glp1. (Or whatever it’s called.) If that’s the case then wouldn’t that be what helped to lose
the fat?
Nope. I have never used a GLP 1, but I have done quite a few episodes talking about them. I do use berberine which is a natural supplement.
What did you do?
Belly
Oh we’re stuck with that crinkly mid section skin?? I’m so glad you showed that and said that . 59 yo here and still dreaming that I can fix it if I just learn to diet and exercise better and fast more … *sob*
Charlene, you have always been a super star! ✨⭐✨⭐ Thank you for the video on this! It’s working for me. 💖💖💖
How??????
