Feeling exhausted, foggy, or unlike yourself in your 40s, 50s, or beyond? You’re not broken — your body is changing. But that doesn’t mean you have to slow down. In this episode, my guest Lori shares how she navigated spinal surgery, perimenopause, and menopause while getting stronger than ever, and how you can too.

From teaching aerobics in the 80s to breaking personal lifting records at 58, Lori’s story proves that aging powerfully is possible at any stage. If you’re in midlife wondering, “Is this just how it’s going to be from now on?” — this is for you.

👉 We’ll talk about:

• How strength training protects your health through menopause
• The truth about HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and what to know before starting
• Why cardio isn’t the answer after 40 (and what works instead)
• Overcoming brain fog, hot flashes, and night sweats
• How to keep muscle, protect your bones, and feel confident again

Feeling tired, inflamed, or stuck after 35? You’re not crazy — your hormones are shifting. But that doesn’t mean it’s downhill. I just turned 40, and I feel stronger, more empowered, and more alive than I did at 25 — and in this episode, I’ll show you how.

From my early years running marathons to healing after birth, Hashimoto’s, and burnout, I’m walking you through what actually works when your body starts changing. If you're in your late 30s or 40s and wondering, “Why is nothing working anymore?” — this is for you.

👉 We’ll talk about:

• Why HIIT and cardio stopped working for me
• The truth about hormones, stress, and recovery
• What I eat, how I move, and how I listen to my body now
• How trauma, nervous system regulation, and healing shaped my wellness
• My biggest mindset shifts between 25 and 40
