Summary

"Once we fully collapse the belly fat, visceral fat, then we find the metabolism does become more fast and efficient." - Dr. Ashley Lucas

In this episode, Dr. Ashley Lucas—former professional ballet dancer turned PhD in sports nutrition—breaks down the surprising science behind visceral fat. She reveals how this type of fat acts like its own organ, secreting hormones that actively resist your weight loss efforts. Drawing from her clinical work and success as the founder of PhD Weight Loss, Dr. Lucas challenges the common advice to “eat everything in moderation” and explains why it might be setting you up for failure. Tune in for a paradigm-shifting discussion on how understanding the true role of visceral fat is key to sustainable weight loss, especially for women over 40.

What you'll learn:

Why visceral fat acts like a "tumor" in your body and how it sabotages your metabolism
The surprising truth about carbohydrate tolerance and why it's different for everyone
How to identify and manage your personal food triggers for lasting success
Why the habits needed for maintaining weight loss are different than those for losing it
The critical mindset shifts required for sustainable transformation
How stress perception impacts your ability to lose belly fat
The reason you need to "collapse" visceral fat completely to prevent regain
