Summary of Transcript:
Dr. Mindy is talking about how to reduce belly fat. She explains that cortisol, a hormone, is linked to belly fat and that it is important to use cortisol rather than store it. She offers three tips to reduce belly fat: 1) Move two hours after you wake up; 2) Move after a stressful event; and 3) Front-load your day. She also suggests doing 36-hour fasts, either once a week or once a month, to reduce belly fat.

Summary of Description:
Belly fat is an accumulation of fat around the abdomen. It is not necessarily caused by cortisol, however, cortisol can contribute to weight gain in this area. To stop cortisol weight gain, it is important to front-load your day with protein, healthy fats, and fiber. A 36-hour fast may help to reduce belly fat, but the best fasting length for you will depend on your individual needs. Brown fat is more metabolically active than white fat and can help with weight loss. Cold plunges may also help to reduce weight, although further research is needed to confirm this.

What Is Belly Fat?
Belly fat is the fat that accumulates around the midsection of your body. It is the most dangerous type of fat and can lead to serious health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Belly fat is often caused by lifestyle choices, such as poor diet and lack of exercise.
Is Belly Fat Caused By Cortisol?
Cortisol is a hormone produced by the body in response to stress. It can cause an increase in belly fat, as well as an increase in appetite, leading to weight gain. While cortisol can be a contributing factor to belly fat, it is not the only cause. Other factors, such as diet and exercise, play a role in the accumulation of fat around the midsection.
How To Stop Cortisol Weight Gain
The best way to stop cortisol weight gain is to reduce stress levels. This can be done by engaging in relaxation techniques, such as yoga and mindfulness, and avoiding stressful situations. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Eating a balanced diet and getting regular physical activity can help reduce stress hormones, such as cortisol, and help prevent weight gain.
Front-Loading Your Day
Front-loading your day is a great way to reduce cortisol levels and help prevent weight gain. This involves scheduling important tasks and activities for the morning, when cortisol levels are naturally lower. This can help reduce stress throughout the day and make it easier to stay on track with healthy habits.
36-Hour Fast To Lose Belly Fat
A 36-hour fast is a popular way to lose belly fat. During a 36-hour fast, you will abstain from eating for 36 hours. This can help reduce cortisol levels and help you lose weight. However, it is important to consult a doctor before attempting any type of fast.
What’s The Best Fasting Length For You?
The best fasting length for you will depend on your individual goals and lifestyle. It is important to consult a doctor before attempting any type of fast, as fasting can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Additionally, it is important to ensure that you are still getting the nutrients your body needs, even when fasting.
Brown Fat Vs White Fat
Brown fat and white fat are two types of fat found in the body. Brown fat is responsible for generating heat and is often considered to be “good” fat, while white fat is associated with weight gain. Increasing brown fat can help reduce cortisol levels and help you lose weight.
Can Cold Plunges Help You Lose Weight?
Cold plunges, or cold showers, can help reduce cortisol levels and help you lose weight. Cold plunges can also help reduce inflammation and improve circulation. However, it is important to consult a doctor before attempting any type of cold plunge.
