Your experience in my program isn’t about my goals; it’s about what you want for yourself.

Episode Summary:

Have you ever wondered how a simple shift in perspective can transform your entire approach to health and wellness? In this wellness podcast, I’m thrilled to share my personal journey through the fitness industry alongside my best friend Jill. Together, we’ll explore the ups and downs of my career, which began in the mid-90s—a time when women were often told that cardio was the only path to fitness. I’ll reveal how I navigated the challenges of health issues and significant life transitions, ultimately discovering the empowering benefits of strength training.  


Show Notes:

As we dive into my experiences, I’ll discuss the misconceptions surrounding women’s health, particularly the myths about carbohydrate consumption. It’s time to debunk these outdated beliefs and embrace a balanced diet that fuels our bodies and minds. I firmly believe that nutrition for women should prioritize healthy eating and adequate protein intake, especially for women over 35 who are looking to build lean muscle and maintain energy levels.  

Throughout our conversation, we’ll touch on important topics like menopause workouts, mental health, and the significance of self-care. I’ll share my insights on how fitness motivation evolves as we age, and why it’s crucial to adapt our workout tips to fit our changing bodies. Whether you're navigating PCOS and fitness challenges or seeking guidance on period and training, this episode is packed with valuable information tailored specifically for midlife women’s health.  

I invite you to join us in embracing a holistic approach to wellness that allows for flexibility and enjoyment while striving for optimal well-being. Remember, it’s not just about toning workouts or weight loss; it’s about creating a lifestyle that supports your overall health journey. Tune in to discover how you can transform your mindset and elevate your fitness game! Let’s redefine what it means to be healthy together on this episode of your favorite wellness podcast!
