Testosterone and Belly Fat The Hidden Connection

Low testosterone doesn’t just affect muscle or mood—it changes how your body stores fat. Specifically, it promotes the accumulation of visceral fat, the kind that surrounds your organs and drives inflammation, insulin resistance, and long-term metabolic dysfunction.
This is one reason men can struggle with fat loss—even when training hard and eating clean.

🔬 Note for those who want the deeper mechanism:
Testosterone supports fat loss by reducing lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in fat tissue (less fat storage) and increasing beta-adrenergic receptor sensitivity, which enhances the hormonal signals (like epinephrine) that activate hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) to break down stored fat.
