Leanne is proving that getting older doesn’t mean slowing down. A retired court reporter and longtime CrossFitter, she shares how intentional habits, movement, and community have helped her stay active, healthy, and independent well into her seventies.

In this episode, Leanne reflects on a lifetime of staying active—from swimming and skating as a child to hiking trails, gardening, and strength training today. She opens up about navigating osteopenia, arthritis, and the mindset shifts that helped her take control of her health instead of accepting limitations.

We also talk about the role nutrition played in her transformation. After struggling with weight and unhealthy eating habits, Leanne found success through Bright Line Eating, cutting out sugar and flour and losing over 30 pounds—weight she’s maintained for nearly a decade. She shares how understanding the connection between food, habits, and brain chemistry changed the way she approached health for good.

Leanne explains why strength training has become such an important part of aging well, and how CrossFit’s scalable approach allows her to safely build muscle, improve bone health, and continue doing the things she loves. More than anything, this conversation highlights the power of consistency, curiosity, and refusing to believe it’s “too late” to make a change.

Whether you’re navigating health challenges, looking for motivation to start moving again, or hoping to stay active for years to come, Leanne’s story is a reminder that health is something you can continue building at every stage of life.
