If you have experienced results from exercise that are nothing like you want, this episode intends to help explain why certain exercise intensities work for you right now and others that have previously may not.

What I want to make clear is… you want intensity and effort level matters for success long term. But short term sometimes you have to pivot.

Certain workouts that once gave results may suddenly stop working during midlife. 

Let’s dive into the connection between cortisol, exercise intensity, recovery, hormones, blood sugar, and stress—and why walking, recovery, and smarter training may actually deliver better results than constantly pushing harder.

This conversation is packed with empowering reminders that fitness after 50 should support your energy, metabolism, sleep, and quality of life—not drain them. 

By the end of this episode, you’ll better understand how you can work with your body instead of against them, especially knowing the exercise intensities that work for you.

There’s a growing science on creatine, brain health & longevity and may be one of the most important conversations midlife women need to hear right now. 

Creatine is so much more than muscle — supports energy production, brain health, recovery, cognition, aging, sleep deprivation resilience, and why women in perimenopause and menopause may benefit even more than men. 

The conversation also dives into the differences between creatine forms, misconceptions around bloating and kidney health, and why creatine may become one of the most important longevity supplements for midlife women

Tune in to learn why the research around creatine, brain health & longevity is creating so much excitement in the world of healthy aging.

Fitness is a vital sign and this episode may completely change how you think about aging after 40.

If you’re listening carefully, we don’t have a fat problem: we have a muscle problem. With greater strength, power, VO2 max entering menopause women have fewer vasomotor issues and less chance of developing dementia and heart disease. Until fitness is a vital sign, exercise may still feel optional. And… the exercise absolutely is better than nothing but if you want it to really be doing the most good, you measure if it’s working. Because now more than ever, fitness is a vital sign.

Want to know why traditional advice on women’s health and women’s fitness doesn’t work? This is particularly true for women in menopause, pre-menopause, and perimenopause… Watch my TEDx Talk here.

In this deeply emotional and inspiring episode, Kelley joins us to talk about navigating breast cancer, treatment, menopause, mental health struggles, and ultimately rebuilding her life through fitness, nutrition, and mindset shifts. 

Kelley shares the raw reality of diagnosis, recurrence, isolation during COVID, and how small steps toward movement and health helped her reclaim hope and strength again in midlife.

This episode is a powerful reminder that fitness after 50 isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about resilience, identity, healing, and learning to prioritize both mental and physical health.

My Guest:

Kelley, a Flipping 50 member, currently has breast cancer and is slowly rebuilding her health and is stronger than ever! Of course with her doctor's approval.

Watch: Does Rebounding Really Work? Here's What Research Says

A woman in our community recently shared that she was thrilled with the results she was experiencing in the program. It was impressive, and honestly a surprise, even to me. She’d lost like 11 lbs and significant inches. 

She explained just before joining she had done a program built around HIIT. No doubt it was promised as a weight loss program. Because HIIT is supposed to burn fat. Visceral belly fat in fact, the worst kind. Clearly not in this case. 

Not to scare you off from HIIT. There is a right time for it. But this episode highlights when and why so much of what you “hear” or are sold just may not work for you! 

Influencers gonna influence. They share what works for them, often what they’ve heard, not studied, applied and tested on hundreds or thousands of people just like you, living real life with real life obligations.
