Episode 1: The 5 Changes I Made to Transform my Body & Health in Midlife
Welcome to the very first episode of The Fit Positive Podcast!
In this episode, I open up about my personal health transformation and how years of frustration with weight gain, fatigue, and confusing wellness advice led me to develop the Fit Positive Method — a sustainable, empowering approach to health in midlife.
I share what finally worked after perimenopause threw my body and mindset for a loop, and how this method is now helping thousands of women ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and feel strong, energized, and confident again.
Whether you're just starting your own journey or looking to get back on track, this episode offers both inspiration and practical takeaways you can apply today.
In This Episode:
- My honest story of gaining weight and losing energy during perimenopause
- The breaking point that led to a major mindset shift
- Why strength training became my #1 tool for fat loss and body recomposition
- How hydration and simple nutrition strategies changed everything
- The truth about cardio, calories, and macros in midlife
- Why sleep is non-negotiable — and how to improve it
- The surprising role of mindset in every health transformation
- How small, consistent changes added up to lasting results
