I’m so excited to share this special episode with my dear friend and client, Jane! This is such an inspiring conversation about how strength training can transform not just your body but also your mind.

Jane discovered a confidence she never expected and now feels more vibrant and energetic than she did in her 20s.
In our conversation, we discuss Jane’s initial motivations for starting her fitness journey, how she overcame fears about lifting heavy weights – even while managing hip pain, and the importance of proper nutrition (especially before workouts!). Plus, she shares practical tips for overcoming the intimidation of trying something new! If you’ve ever felt nervous about stepping into the gym or thought it was too late to start a new chapter, Jane’s story will inspire you to think again. It’s never too late to become the strongest version of yourself – inside and out!

Lately, I've been having so many conversations with women who sometimes feel like they're at the will of their cravings. I know how frustrating it is when you're trying to change your body composition but find yourself overeating and then judging yourself for it. If this sounds familiar, don't worry – I’m here to help! In this episode, I share my tips and tricks to help you understand your hunger, fuel your body, and avoid unnecessary rigid eating. The best part? You don't need to give up your favorite foods to make progress. You just need to make some minor adjustments to see a big difference!
I've spent over 30 years helping people take control of their cravings and feel incredible. And I've found that if you're struggling with willpower around food, it's often a biological cue telling you that you're hungry. By listening to what your body needs, you can choose what you want to eat according to your eating strategy, intentions, philosophies, and beliefs and still achieve your goals. Say goodbye to feeling guilty, ashamed, or hangry and say hello to eating in a way that sustains the body you want while satisfying your appetite!

This is a replay of Episode 3, all about discussing the challenge of silent systemic inflammation — and I have a PSA for you: Exercise could actually be increasing your risk of chronic health issues. In this episode, you will learn how and when to pay attention to estrogen and inflammation. I illustrate sneaky inflammation symptoms and also provide workout tips to strengthen your body’s ability to manage inflammation.
First, I share my personal experience with toxic mold as it attacked my immune system and triggered inflammation — and it turns out perimenopause was involved, too! I detail the link between an imbalanced workout and systemic inflammation plus three types of assessment to troubleshoot. I share how to track inflammation symptoms plus a common misconception about estrogen’s effect on the body. I believe feeling great on the journey to improved physical resilience is 100% possible, no matter what health issues are thrown your way!
If you are a woman over the age of 35 with unexpected allergies and skin issues, digestive challenges, mood changes, and/or deep fatigue. This episode is for you.
