Here’s why my muscle definition stalled and the shifts that finally changed everything. Problem 1Pushing harder instead of progressing smarterI kept adding more intensity and more sessions because I was frustrated with slow results. All it did was overload my body and keep me in a constant recovery deficit. This is one of the most common reasons midlife women stall. SolutionI...

Hi Fabulous Friends! Happy Halloween! The other week, an old friend slid into my instagram comments selling supplements. I'm not anti-supplements. I take a bunch of them!!! She said she “didn’t have time to exercise” but had a “simple solution” that would give me and my clients more energy and help with body composition. Even though I know better, I let it get under my skin. My heart rate went up. I started crafting a counterargument in my head that she’d probably never read. I texted a bunch...

Hi Fabulous Friends! We often mistake resignation for acceptance.Resignation sounds like, “This is just how midlife is — tired, bloated, busy.”Acceptance says, “This is where I am — and I can choose differently.” That shift—from giving up to leaning in—is the same one that turns reactivity into proactivity. In the past, when I was reactive, health felt like a game of whack-a-mole: skipping meals to be thinner, over-caffeinating and convincing myself that four cups was normal, pushing harder...

Happy Fall Fabulous Friends! A lot of women — especially in healthcare — still see creatine as a “gym bro” supplement. But it’s one of the most researched tools for protecting muscle, strength, and even BRAIN health in midlife. It once had a bad reputation for “hurting kidneys” because it raises creatinine — a byproduct used to measure kidney function. But in this case, that rise reflects more creatine in the body, not kidney damage. This time, I started with 3 g/day for one week, then...

Follow my IG for practical tips on getting stronger and leaner Hello Fabulous Friends! Listen up- this 1 minute read is about to get tactical! Snacking isn’t bad—it’s normal. The real issue is when dopamine-driven habits take over. (Dopamine is the brain’s ‘seeking’ chemical—our ancestors depended on it to find food and secure a mate.) Ultra-processed snacks are engineered with added sugar, salt, and fat to light up the brain’s dopamine reward system, but they do very little to actually...

Follow my IG for practical tips on getting stronger and leaner Hello Fabulous Friends! Let's dive right in to this 1 minute read. What I’d do if I want to decrease bloat immediately... I would minimize intake of ultra-processed foods. Ultra-processed foods are foods that have been modified far away from their original form—stripped of nutrients and bulked up with additives, sweeteners, and refined carbs. They light up cravings but leave your body stressed, inflamed, and bloated. Why: They...
