short 3) Hormone Belly Explained
“If you’re gaining weight only in
your lower stomach… it might not be your diet.”
“It could be your hormones.”
Cortisol Angle
Chronic stress raises cortisol — your stress hormone.
High cortisol can signal your body
to store fat, especially around your midsection.
This isn’t about laziness.
It’s a survival response.
Blood sugar spikes and crashes can
also raise insulin.
And high insulin makes it easier to
store fat in the belly area.
If you feel:
Tired but wired
Craving sugar
Bloated
Storing fat despite dieting
There may be a hormone pattern
behind it.
Estrogen + Women Specific
Estrogen imbalance can also contribute to fluid retention and lower belly fullness.
Especially before your period.
Your body is hormonal — not broken.
If your belly feels stubborn, look
beyond calories.
Look at:
Stress
Sleep
Blood sugar
Hormone balance
