Not sure if this is better in this bowl or the staying healthy one. I have “cortisol belly” and it’s been there for about a year, no matter what I do. This past week, I’ve been on PTO and I’ve kept everything more or less the same (though with slightly less exercise) and I swear it’s gone down. I know belly

I decided to invest in myself and I am using online meds with a doctor for the ozempic shot. Best decision I made. I am back in a size 4, down from a size 10, which I was very uncomfortable with. My sugar levels are back in normal range and all my stats are back in the green. My husband did it with me and he is down 35 pounds. After 50 I needed something more than deep breaths, exercise and cutting back. Helped me a lot but I know not for everyone.

Same although I think mine is perimenopause related. Curious if you’ve found something that works as I’m getting sick of buying new clothes every few mths!

Oh mine is definitely menopause related. When our bodies produce less estrogen, it changes how we process cortisol (or so I’m told), so fat shows up in weird places (like the belly).

You can also have SIBO which causes your belly to look like you are pregnant. Not being able to excrete estrogen also plays a roll. I went to a Naturopath and determined I had an overgrowth of a pathogenic bacteria that gives off an enzyme that blocks your bodies ability to excrete estrogen and when that happens it causes weight gain in the belly hips and thighs and backs of arms and destroys your metabolism.

What was is the treatment plan?

Afterward he said he was burnt out to his manager and then was fired a week or so later, even though the project recovered. Is there grounds here for wrongful termination? How does he argue for more severance?
