And even the simplest acts of self-care can feel like too much.   In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to gently show up for your health when you’re feeling depressed, burned out, or emotionally exhausted—without pressure, guilt, or perfection.   You’ll learn: • Why “doing less” is sometimes exac...

Muscle loss accelerates during menopause, but strength training can protect your metabolism, bones, blood sugar, and long-term health.

In this episode of the Fit After 40 Women’s Fitness & Health Revolution, Kinsey dives into a question she gets constantly: How is training in our 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond actually different from training in our 20s?

In today’s episode, we dive into one of the most charged topics in modern health: the World Health Organization’s new recognition of GLP-1 drugs for weight loss. This isn’t a conversation about being “for” or “against” them—it’s about something much bigger than a simple yes or no. With GLP-1 sales skyrocketing 500% in five years and an annual $71-billion market emerging almost overnight, we have t...

If you’ve ever walked into the holidays torn between wanting to be “healthy” and wanting to actually enjoy yourself…welcome to the club.

I’m getting real abo...

If you want to get stronger, build muscle, and feel more powerful in your body as you move through perimenopause or postmenopause, progressive overload is the principle you need to understand. It’s how your body adapts, grows, and continues getting stronger over time.   But when you're training at home without access to heavier weights… how do you actually do it?   In today’s video, I’m breaking d...

Big moves in today's podcast. 1. We changed the name? Welcome to Fit After 40: the Women's Fitness & Health Revolution Podcast.  Why?  Fit After 40 is the name of the fitness program I created for women 40+ who are new to fitness, newly back, or looking to level up out of a plateau, so it made sense to share the name here! But we can't throw the old out completely - because after all - choosin...

For years, I have had consults with women who are holding their health hostage to an all-or-nothing mindset. “I just don’t have time right now.” 10 years later, 20 years later, those same people are saying the same thing, “I just don’t have time.” Spoiler. Unfortunately, we don’t sprout extra hours in the day, and for busy individuals, we tend only to get busier … or we burn out.   But at the root...

If you’ve ever looked at a video of someone hip-thrusting 400 pounds and thought, “Yeah, that’s definitely not for me…”—you’re not alone. And you’re not wrong.

In this episode, we’re ditching the intimidation factor and pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like t...
