    Ep. 19 🎙️ Cortisol Belly, Perimenopause & the Blood Type Factor

    In Episode 19, Certified Wellness Nutrition Coach and Educator AC Price breaks down one of the most searched — and most misunderstood — symptoms of the perimenopause transition: cortisol belly. Drawing on research from the National Institutes of Health and the Cleveland Clinic, this episode explains exactly why abdominal weight accumulates during perimenopause, how chronic cortisol dysregulation drives visceral fat storage, and why Blood Type A is particularly vulnerable to this pattern. Listeners walk away with blood type-specific cortisol strategies, three actionable daily rituals, a cortisol-reset dinner bowl, and a direct invitation to join the newly launched 14-Day Culinary Cortisol Reset. Cortisol belly is driven by a hormonal and insulin loop — not lack of willpower. Blood Type A carries a naturally elevated cortisol baseline, making them most vulnerable during perimenopause. Over-exercising during perimenopause can worsen cortisol belly — regulation, not restriction, is the solution. The 14-Day Culinary Cortisol Reset is open now — acartoffood.com/culinary-cortisol-reset. KEY TAKEAWAYS: 🩸 Type O Fast cortisol responder. Protein at every meal. Short-burst vigorous movement. Minimize wheat, corn, dairy. Avoid cucumber and avocado. 🩸 Type A Elevated baseline cortisol — most vulnerable to cortisol belly. Plant-forward eating, fermented foods, ashwagandha, and daily decompression are essential. 🩸 Type B Cortisol belly shows through impulse eating and blood sugar volatility. 🩸 Type AB Absorbs stress quietly. Small, frequent meals. THE GREAT EATS : 🩸 Blood Type O Grass-fed beef stir-fry or wild-caught salmon, roasted sweet potato, sautéed kale and spinach with garlic and olive oil, shredded purple cabbage, fresh lemon, sea salt. 🩸 Blood Type A Pan-seared tempeh or wild-caught sardines, steamed brown rice, roasted broccoli and carrots, miso-glazed eggplant, spinach with sesame oil, pumpkin seeds, tahini. 🩸 Blood Type B Roasted lamb or baked turkey breast, steamed jasmine rice, collard greens with olive oil, roasted beets, sheep's milk feta, parsley, apple cider vinegar. 🩸 Blood Type AB Pan-seared wild salmon over millet, steamed snap peas and zucchini, lemon-ginger dressing, cultured yogurt with dill, chamomile tea. FINAL THOUGHTS: Cortisol belly is not a personal failure — it is biology. When you understand the hormonal loop driving abdominal weight during perimenopause, you stop fighting your body and start working with it. That shift, anchored in your blood type, is where sustainable change begins. Join the 14-Day Culinary Cortisol Reset at acartoffood.com/culinary-cortisol-reset. Blood type wellness principles are inspired by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo, author of Eat Right 4 Your Type.

    Ep.18🎙️The Change Has a Name: Cortisol, Menopause & Your Blood Type

    In Episode 18 of the Abstract Blood Type Wellness Podcast, host and Certified Wellness Nutrition Coach & Educator AC Price opens a conversation that has been long overdue — the full, science-grounded, deeply personal truth about perimenopause, menopause, and the role cortisol plays in every symptom women have been told to simply endure. From the cultural silence that reduced this profound biological transition to "the change" to the peer-reviewed research confirming that women of African American descent experience perimenopausal symptoms at rates up to 20% higher due to ancestral DNA trauma — this episode names what has gone unnamed for far too long. Drawing on research from the National Institutes of Health and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, AC breaks down the HPA axis, chronic cortisol elevation, and the specific hormonal cascade that drives belly fat, sleep disruption, anxiety, and mood dysregulation during the menopausal transition. Personalized by blood type, this episode delivers cortisol reset strategies for Type O, A, B, and AB — alongside a special Great Eats Healing Tea Ritual Edition featuring five cortisol-calming herbs. This episode also marks the official launch of the 14-Day Culinary Cortisol Reset for Perimenopausal & Menopausal Women, available Friday, April 3rd at www.acartoffood.com. KEY TAKEAWAYS: *The NIH identifies cortisol dysregulation via HPA axis hyperactivation as a central driver of perimenopausal symptoms — not just a side effect.Harvard T.H. Chan research links chronically elevated cortisol to visceral belly fat accumulation, sleep disruption, immune suppression, and mood dysregulation during menopause. *Peer-reviewed research confirms women of African American descent experience perimenopausal symptoms at up to 20% higher rates due to ancestral DNA trauma encoded in HPA axis reactivity. *Five adaptogenic and hormone-supportive herbs — ashwagandha, holy basil, raspberry leaf, maca root, and black cohosh — provide targeted cortisol support for each blood type. *Three daily rituals — the morning anchor, the blood type plate, and the evening wind-down — begin retraining the HPA axis toward calm and hormonal repair. *The 14-Day Culinary Cortisol Reset for Perimenopausal & Menopausal Women will be available this Friday. BLOOD TYPE WELLNESS BREAKDOWN 🩸 Type O — The Adrenal WarriorMost reactive HPA axis — cortisol spikes fast and hard. Protein-anchored, anti-inflammatory eating combined with vigorous movement is the primary cortisol reset strategy. 🩸 Type A — The Cortisol AccumulatorAccumulates cortisol rather than discharging it. 🩸 Type B — The Hormonal BalancerBalanced but vulnerable to dietary disruption during perimenopause. 🩸 Type AB — The Sensitive ProcessorAbsorbs cortisol and emotional stress deeply. Holy basil, black cohosh, and raspberry leaf provide calming hormonal and nervous system support. Avoid alcohol, processed foods, and overstimulation.

    Ep. 17 🎙️ Plant-Based Detox Cleanses: The Smart Way, By Blood Type

    In Episode 17, AC Price dismantles the myth that detoxing means deprivation and delivers a blood type-aligned, plant-based detox strategy that supports the body's natural elimination systems rather than stressing them. Backed by research from the National Institutes of Health and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health — including the science of the liver's two-phase detoxification process — this episode explains why generic cleanses backfire and what each blood type needs for a detox that actually works. Listeners leave with personalized detox frameworks, three daily detox rituals, and a nourishing blood type dinner to start with tonight. KEY TAKEAWAYS The body detoxifies continuously — a smart cleanse supports that system, not replaces it. Feeling terrible during a cleanse is a mismatch signal, not a sign of progress.T Three daily rituals — warm lemon water, daily movement, and deep sleep — amplify detox results for every blood type. BLOOD TYPE WELLNESS BREAKDOWN 🩸 Type O Protein-anchored detox essential. Leafy greens, beets, artichokes. No juice-only protocols. Avoid wheat, corn, cucumber, avocado. 3–5 day window. 🩸 Type A Built for plant-based cleansing. Green juices, fermented foods, miso, herbal teas. 5–7 day window works beautifully. 🩸 Type B Gentle, warming approach. Cooked vegetables, lamb or turkey, yogurt or kefir. Avoid chicken, corn, tomatoes. 3–5 day window. 🩸 Type AB Light and frequent meals. Warm soups, steamed greens, light seafood. Fermented foods and herbal teas daily. Avoid red meat, alcohol, carbonation. 5–7 day window. THE GREAT EATS — Dinner EditionPlant-Based Detox Dinner | By Blood Type 🩸 Blood Type O: Seared wild-caught salmon or lean grass-fed beef, roasted beets with thyme, sautéed kale and spinach, roasted sweet potato, fresh lemon. 🩸 Blood Type A: Miso-glazed baked tofu, steamed broccoli and bok choy, brown rice or millet, sliced avocado, pickled ginger, sesame oil and tamari. 🩸 Blood Type B: Roasted lamb or turkey, roasted beets and carrots, steamed collard greens, jasmine rice, fresh parsley, yogurt with ginger. 🩸 Blood Type AB: Pan-seared salmon or sardines over millet, sautéed dandelion greens and zucchini, artichoke hearts, sliced cucumber, warm ginger miso broth. Detox is an act of love — a decision to lighten the load on a body that works for you every day. When aligned with your blood type, it produces clarity, lightness, and renewed energy. Detox smart, support your body, and let your biology lead the way. 📚BLOOD TYPE WELLNESS ORIGINBlood type wellness principles are inspired by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo, author of Eat Right 4 Your Type.
