Chalene Johnson Says Life Gets Better After Fifty

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Chalene Johnson — New York Times bestselling author, fitness pioneer, host of The Chalene Show, entrepreneur and creator of Camp Be More — for an honest conversation about leaving the fitness industry, body image, GLP-1s, muscle, relationships and why life can get better after 50. Chalene shares why she walked away at the height of her fitness career after realizing that the results being sold to women did not match what she had to do behind the scenes. She opens up about the pressure to become smaller, unhealthy exercise patterns, rapid weight loss, disordered eating and her concerns about how GLP-1 medications are being used. Then the conversation turns practical: creatine, sleep trackers, stress, priority clarity, lifting heavy, Zone 2 walking, mobility, protein, hormone replacement therapy, supplements, social media criticism, elective surgery, preparing the body for recovery and protecting your most important relationships. Chalene also explains why she calls herself “level 57,” why women need strong friendships in midlife and why aging is inevitable — but getting old is not.
