This Is Life — strength, physiology & stepping into your prime

This Is Life is a podcast about strength, physical, mental, and emotional, and what it really looks like to step into your prime in midlife.

Hosted by Jo Northwood, a strength coach and sports therapy graduate, this podcast blends real-life experience with evidence-based physiology to explore training, hormones, health, identity, and rebuilding yourself after life shifts.

Some episodes are practical and educational, breaking down strength training, metabolism, and how the body actually adapts as we age.

Others are personal, honest conversations about motherhood, losing yourself, finding your way back, and choosing to live bigger rather than shrink.

No fads. No extremes. No pressure to “bounce back.”

Just smart training, grounded nutrition, and real conversations for women who want to feel capable, strong, and in control of their bodies again.
