Resilient in Midlife | Staying Strong Through Injury and a Changing Body

Pro‑aging champion and Kuel Life founder Jacqueline (“Jack”) Perez explores what it really means to be resilient in a midlife body. Jack shares how menopause hit “like a tractor trailer,” the shock of sudden weight gain and why she refused to spend the next 30–40 years shrinking herself instead of her life.​ She traces her lifelong movement journey—from Jane Fonda aerobics and leg warmers to bodybuilding, powerlifting, and earning a third‑degree black belt simply by showing up and “just keeping kicking.”​​Jack also opens up about the skydiving accident that left her with three compression fractures right as her son left for college, how strictly following medical instructions helped her heal, and what it took to run a 10K just months later. Along the way, she shares real‑life habits for resilient health in midlife: lifting heavy to protect bone density, using intuitive eating and intermittent fasting to support her body, and getting honest about when to lean on friends and accountability instead of willpower alone. If you’re a midlife woman navigating menopause, pain, injury, or the grief of kids leaving home, this conversation will give you both a loving push and practical tools to stay in motion and keep writing your own story.#resilienthealth #midlifewomen #proaging #midlifefitness #healthwealthhappiness____________________ YouTube: @interviewstoinpirehttps://www.youtube.com/@interviewstoinspireSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4c7PZX19CDFAOkEhfGUoAAhttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/interviewstoinspireApple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-health-wealth-and-happiness-interviews-to-inspire/id1808177271Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/interviewstoinspire/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/interviewstoinspireLinkedin: LET’S CONNECThttps://www.linkedin.com/in/christinavidovich/https://www.linkedin.com/company/interviewstoinspire____________________ #entrepreneurs #whwhi2i #healthwealthhappiness #interviewstoinspire #ChristinaVidovich#womenempoweringwomen #inspirationalwomen #trailblazingwomen #womenpodcast #womeninterviews #inspiring #women#inspirationalinterviews #visibility ____________________ Women's Health, Wealth, and Happiness | Interviews to Inspire ZIMAF entertainment international ©2025
