I recently decided I wanted to get in the best shape of my life for my 60th birthday. My original goal wasn't even fat loss; I wanted to put on muscle and improve my overall fitness. But in the process of focusing on strength training, optimizing my nutrition, and making some key lifestyle tweaks, I ended up dropping 10 pounds and 5% body fat... without even trying!
In this episode, I'm sharing the surprising mindset shifts and practical strategies that made all the difference. You'll learn why I actually INCREASED my calories at first, the reason I had to stop working out fasted, how changing my lazy evening wine-and-Netflix routine led to better self-care, and so much more. I'm also revealing the supplements I never skip even when I travel, and the metrics I track to make sure I'm building muscle and losing fat.
If you're looking for motivation and guidance to get fit and feel your best at any age, this is the episode for you! It's not about restriction or doing anything extreme, it's about consistency, nourishing your body, and making sustainable lifestyle upgrades. I can't wait to share what I've learned with you!
