In this episode, Coach Amy shares her transformative journey of overcoming stagnation and shifting her mindset around food and fueling strategies. She highlights the importance of viewing food as a means to enhance performance rather than merely restricting calories. The conversation dives deep into the challenges many women face during this phase of life, including changing hormones, busy schedules, and the overwhelming amount of fitness and nutrition information available.

Amy discusses the importance of how training the back of the body, realigning posture, and activating neglected muscles like the glutes play a pivotal role in improving overall fitness.

She also emphasizes the need for credible support, prioritizing mental health and understanding its connection to hormonal changes, debunking misconceptions, and seeking holistic approaches.
