She explains the difference between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, why visceral fat is more dangerous to your health, and the four things that help reduce it most effectively: sleep, lowering stress, stable blood sugar, and strength training 💪🥗😴. Denise also talks about emotional eating, food noise, chaos foods, eating while stressed, and why many women already know what to do—but haven't yet learned how to actually do it with peace and consistency 🙏🌿.
