Hormones, cortisol, weight lifting and more! There are so many misconceptions about midlife health for women and there is so much information (often times conflicting) too! In today's episode, I sit down with Erin Henry — Registered Dietitian & Midlife Strength Coach — and we get to the skinny on all these things (and more!) Midlife is actually a season of reinvention, not decline. We unpack how body changes in midlife aren’t a sign that a woman is failing, but how can support herself differently. Erin shares why chasing “smaller” often leaves women exhausted and discouraged, while pursuing stronger reshapes not only the body, but confidence, boundaries, and purpose. We talk about how strength — physically and emotionally — becomes the foundation for how a woman shows up in her faith, family, work, and calling. You’ll hear: What's missing from approaches to weight loss and WHY midlife women need new strategies The myths behind strength training and the truth about "getting bulky" Why so many women aren’t struggling from lack of discipline (but what is actually holding them back) The key factors to being your healthiest version of you in this season of life Erin shares a number of powerful takeaways that will help you reframe midlife health and step into it with strength--spirit, soul and body! She also shares about her Strong Start program, a 30-day strength training experience designed to help midlife women build strength, confidence, and momentum. If you’re a midlife Christian woman who is ready to stop shrinking and start strengthening — this conversation is for you. Tune in and get ready to rethink what it means to be strong in this season.
