I eat clean, lift weights, and still can’t lose belly fat. Why?
The question we hear all the time“I work out consistently, eat well, and I’m disciplined—but my belly fat won’t budge. What am I missing?”
What’s really going on
For many women and men—especially after 35—stubborn belly fat is less about calories and more about hormonal signaling, stress physiology, and declining growth hormone output. As we age, our bodies become less efficient at mobilizing fat, even when effort stays high.
Common contributors include:
- Declining growth hormone
- Elevated cortisol
- Insulin resistance
- Under-recovery from training
- Chronic under-fueling
How peptides may help
Certain peptides support fat mobilization and metabolic efficiency, allowing your body to access stored fat more effectively—especially when lifestyle habits are already solid.
Peptides we often consider
What most people misunderstand
Peptides don’t replace nutrition or training. They help restore signaling your body used to have, so the work you’re already doing finally produces results.
