You hit the gym three times a week and watch what you eat, yet the “spare tire” around your waist won’t budge. In 2026, we know that the “Dad Bod” isn’t just a sign of a busy lifestyle—it’s a sign of a hormonal shift. At Ziva Wellness, we help men realize that you can’t out-train a hormonal deficiency.
The Estrogen-Fat Loop
As testosterone drops, men often see an increase in Aromatase—an enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen. This creates a vicious cycle:
- Low T leads to increased belly fat (visceral fat).
- Belly fat produces more aromatase.
- More aromatase converts even more of your remaining testosterone into estrogen.
- Result: More fat, less muscle, and zero energy.
Body Recomposition at Ziva
Our “Executive Edge” protocol breaks this cycle. By optimizing testosterone and potentially using peptides or estrogen blockers, we shift your body back into anabolic mode. This allows you to burn fat as fuel and build the lean muscle mass that defines a fit, healthy physique.
Conclusion:
The “Dad Bod” isn’t a permanent life stage; it’s a metabolic imbalance. At Ziva Wellness, we provide the hormonal blueprint to help you reclaim your body and your confidence.
