#116: Your Secret Weapon Against Aging with Alicia Jones


Listen Later

This week, I’m joined by fitness expert Alicia Jones, a passionate advocate for midlife women’s health and strength. 

Alicia’s journey into fitness took on new meaning when she witnessed a striking contrast in her own family—her 72-year-old mother climbing 1,700 stairs with ease, while her grandmother at the same age required full-time care. 

This eye-opening moment reinforced a powerful truth: the way we move and care for us today determines our mobility, strength, and independence in the years to come.

In this episode, we break down the myths, science, and simple strategies that can transform your approach to fitness and ageing after 50:

  • Why cardio alone isn’t enough
  • The “bulking” myth debunked
  • Why Balance training needs to be included
  • The power of incidental exercise 
  • How to work with your changing hormones 

This conversation is packed with practical, science-backed strategies to help you stay strong, independent, and vibrant for decades to come. Whether you’re a lifelong fitness lover or just starting your strength journey, Alicia’s insights will inspire you to embrace movement in a whole new way!
