Summary

Let’s be honest. Losing belly fat in midlife isn’t about cutting carbs or working out harder. In this  episode Chalene Johnson breaks down what actually works and what doesn’t when it comes to stubborn menopausal and perimenopausal belly fat. If you feel stuck, bloated, or frustrated despite doing everything right, there’s a reason. Hormonal shifts and changes in metabolism make old strategies less effective. You’ll learn two different approaches—one that’s realistic and sustainable, and one for when you’re ready to go all in. Plus, the supplements, workouts, and daily habits that helped Chalene see real results.

Hey, before we get too far, I know I've talked a lot about the supplements that I take in powder

0:06.1

form. There's a lot of them. And there's, of course, the things I take in capsule form. But I also

0:12.0

take a few things in gummy form. And one of the things that I started taking about a year ago,

0:18.2

actually when we were in Europe last year, is saffron. And I started

0:22.2

taking it because I heard about quite a few studies that demonstrated that saffron made significant

0:31.3

improvements in people's, their ability to reduce their anxiety, to feel more relaxed, to have mental clarity. And of course,

0:41.1

that's going to improve your sleep, right? Because that's one of the main reasons why so many

0:46.1

of us struggle to sleep and now you lay down and your brain just doesn't stop spinning.

0:51.2

So anyways, I looked into it. You know me. I love to see a good study and there's been a ton of

0:55.8

them. In fact, April through July 2025, this is brand new, a randomized, double-blind,

1:04.6

placebo-controlled study looking at the impact of taking saffron daily for just three months. And the results I can tell

1:14.5

you were pretty astonishing. A marked decrease in depression, anxiety, and stress.

1:21.2

72.3% of the participants in the saffron group achieved significant improvements on their mental state.

1:30.1

So talking about having less anxiety. And of course, that I think is one of the reasons why it

1:35.0

contributes to fewer sleep disturbances for those especially who are taking the saffron.

1:40.0

So listen, I'm definitely not telling you to go off your SSRIs. And if you're on an antidepressant,

1:45.1

that's awesome. But if you're one of those people who you've been thinking like, I don't know, I don't know what it is, I just, I don't feel as happy as I usually am, or I just feel kind of me. You know what I'm talking about. You can't put your finger on it, but you're like, I'm just not as happy or maybe I'm dealing with more anxiety or things are bugging me more than they usually do.

1:45.1

You've heard me talk about Organify

2:05.5

for years. And Organify came out with a saffron gummy. It's actually very, very tasty. So I am

2:14.8

going to encourage you, if you're already a customer of Organify, next time you go to

2:20.2

place an order, go to Organify.com forward slash Shaline. Use Code Shaline. That always gets you 20% off.

2:27.1

I take their immunity daily. I take pure daily. I take their collagen daily. All of these things are on the regular. And again, I started
