In this episode we're delving into a game-changing workout approach that might sound intimidating but is actually revolutionary for women over midlife.

I was so taken by the idea that I signed up for the foundational program right after I got done with the interview. It's been a month now and I love this program! My arms are taking shape and my core is getting stronger. I asked Ashley if I could have a special deal for my rebellious listeners and she said "Sure because my goal is to get this to as many women as possible."

My guest Ashley Selman brings 30 years of expert training experience (recognized as a top 100 trainer by Men's Health and top 10 in the Bay Area) to share how Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training can transform your fitness journey with minimal joint stress and maximum results.

What We Cover:

• Why muscle loss is such a critical issue for women over 40 and why traditional advice fails us
• Ashley's personal journey from hip replacement at 43 to finding BFR as her solution after years of struggling
• How BFR training increases human growth hormone naturally (which plummets during menopause alongside estrogen)
• The shocking truth about GLP-1 medications and muscle loss (hint: about 40% of weight loss is muscle!)
• Why lifting light weights with BFR bands creates muscle growth that would be impossible otherwise
• The unexpected benefits including better sleep, improved metabolism, enhanced brain function, and greater vascular flexibility
• How BFR can help protect your muscle while losing weight

BFR isn't just another fitness fad – it's backed by decades of science and widely used in physical therapy and with elite athletes. The difference is that now it's accessible for everyday women who want strength without killing themselves in the gym.

Ashley's program makes this unique training method approachable with virtual coaching that includes personalized guidance, specialized bands designed by a cardiologist (much safer than cheap versions), and workouts that take just 20 - 25 minutes while using 3-5 pound weights. As you get stronger you''ll want to use heavier weights but never more than 10 pounds.

The best part? No soreness, no intimidation, and quick results – making it perfect for women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond who want to reclaim their strength without the stress.
