In this episode of The WarriorBabe Show, Nikkiey breaks down the difference between the two types of body fat most women don't know about - subcutaneous fat (the fat you can see and pinch) and visceral fat (the hidden fat wrapped around your organs that's actually driving inflammation, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular risk).‍She explains why visceral fat accumulates specifically during perimenopause and menopause as estrogen declines, why the typical approach of more cardio, less food, and endless core work doesn't target it, and the 5 things that actually do - including why strength training alone can reduce visceral fat in as little as 12 weeks even without the scale moving. She also covers simple ways to measure how much visceral fat you're carrying right now without needing an MRI.‍If you liked this video, hit the like and subscribe button so that more videos like this will come your way once we drop them!
