Cortisol Belly After 40: Expert Insights
Cortisol Belly After 40: Expert Insights
For many women over 40, body changes can feel sudden, frustrating, and emotionally challenging. One of the most common concerns is stubborn abdominal fat, often referred to as “cortisol belly.” To understand what’s really happening inside the body – and how to treat it effectively – we spoke with Jasmina Connelly, body contouring specialist and founder of Roseline Training Academy.
With over 20 years of experience, Jasmina works predominantly with perimenopausal and menopausal women and has developed a holistic, nervous-system-led approach to body contouring using advanced Zemits technologies.

Why does cortisol belly appear during perimenopause?
Why does cortisol belly appear during perimenopause?
Jasmina: “In my clinic, the majority of my clients are mature women, and a significant number are navigating perimenopause or menopause” she explains. “At this stage of life, the natural ageing process contributes to reduced skin elasticity, weakened tissue integrity, and weight gain – particularly around the abdomen.”
She continues:
“Time and time again, the stomach is the primary area of concern. It’s where clients notice changes first, and it’s where they feel most vulnerable. Many tell me they’ve stopped going to the beach, avoid wearing dresses, and feel less confident in their bodies.”
According to Jasmina, hormonal shifts make fat loss more challenging.
“The lower belly and waistline become problem zones. The body simply responds differently to diet and exercise now. These areas become resistant to change, no matter how hard clients try.”
But it’s not just about food.
“Many women over 40 are living fast-paced, highly stressful lives” she says. “They’re juggling work, family, responsibilities – constantly in go mode. This brings us to one of the biggest issues affecting this demographic: chronically elevated cortisol.”

What role does cortisol play in abdominal fat storage?
What role does cortisol play in abdominal fat storage?
“Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone” Jasmina explains. “You’ve probably heard about fight-or-flight mode. When cortisol remains high for long periods, the body thinks it’s in danger and starts storing fat for survival – especially around the abdomen.”
This means fat becomes incredibly difficult to shift.
“If cortisol is high, your body refuses to use those fat cells as energy. So even if you eat well and exercise, the belly just won’t budge. That’s why clients feel so frustrated – they’re doing everything right, but nothing changes.”

How do you assess whether the issue is fat, fluid retention, or laxity?

“When working with cortisol belly, everything starts with a thorough consultationand skin assessment” Jasmina says.
“I never take a one-size-fits-all approach.”
“When working with cortisol belly, everything starts with a thorough consultationand skin assessment” Jasmina says.
“I never take a one-size-fits-all approach.”
She looks at:
- Age
- Hormonal status or HRT
- Medication
- Weight history
- Skin quality
- Lifestyle
- Fitzpatrick scale
“Only then can I understand what’s really happening – whether it’s adipose tissue, fluid retention, or skin laxity. That assessment shapes the entire treatment plan.”
But there’s another crucial layer.
“We must also regulate the nervous system. If we don’t lower cortisol, results will always be limited.”

“Cortisol belly cannot be treated with one device alone” Jasmina explains.
“My philosophy is simple: we must treat the fat, lymphatic system, skin quality, and nervous system together.”

“My go-to tool for abdominal fat is the Zemits Abigon Pro machine,” she says.
“Cavitation is one of the most effective technologies for stubborn fat – especially in perimenopausal and menopausal clients where adipose tissue becomes resistant.”
But she’s clear:
“Cavitation alone is not enough when cortisol is high.”

“Once we regulate the nervous system, we see improvements in digestion, constipation, which is very common in this demographic, and sleep quality. Better sleep and reduced stress affect every system in the body.”
And clients love it.
“Many become almost addicted to pressotherapy,” she laughs.
“They love the flatter belly, lighter legs, and visible reduction in bloating. Many even buy home machines to maintain results. I’m one of them! Whenever I can, I jump in – I feel lighter, flatter, and snatched after every session.”

“My secret weapon is Sisley 2.0 pressotherapy for lymphatic drainage,” Jasmina reveals.
“Pressotherapy doesn’t just move stagnant fluid. It works directly on the parasympathetic nervous system – the rest-and-digest state.”
This is key.
“When we regulate the nervous system, cortisol drops. When cortisol drops, fluid retention reduces, inflammation settles, and the body finally feels safe enough to release stored fat.”
Clients also experience whole-body benefits.

“In the later stages of the programme, I introduce radiofrequency” Jasmina explains. “This is specifically to address skin laxity during the inch-loss phase.”
She also uses vacuum therapy.
“Vacuum suction enhances blood flow and helps break down compact, fibrotic fat pockets. Combined with wood therapy and hands-on sculpting, we get beautiful contouring results.”

Final message to practitioners

“I’m genuinely encouraged to see this conversation becoming more common in our industry,” Jasmina says.
“Women are better informed now. They’re actively seeking holistic support.”
Her advice to practitioners:
“Understand the emotional side of body changes. These women are vulnerable. They don’t just want smaller measurements – they want confidence back.”
She adds:
