Why Your Belly Fat Won't Budge (It's NOT Just Diet & Exercise)

You've cleaned up your diet, you're exercising regularly, and yet the belly fat still won't budge. Sound familiar? In this episode of Own Your Health, Katie Brindle looks at why the answer may have less to do with calories and more to do with what is happening inside your body. 

Katie draws on the principles of Chinese medicine, to explain how stress, emotions, digestion, and energy flow can all contribute to stubborn belly fat, particularly as we get older. She reveals the roles of the liver, spleen and lungs in storing and processing excess energy, why feelings such as frustration, overwhelm and resentment may be affecting your waistline, and how everyday habits like eating cold foods or rushing meals could be working against you. Katie also shares simple techniques, including breathing exercises, body tapping and Qigong-inspired movement, that may help support your body's natural ability to restore balance and release what it no longer needs.
