If you’re a woman 40+ who’s “doing it right” and still not seeing results, this is your wake-up call. Your body didn’t fail you—your inputs changed. In this episode I unveil Simple Strength: a 6-exercise, 2–3x/week program built for women in midlife who want to love their bodies again. Improve lean mass, joint comfort, and metabolic power, and get rid of the expanding midsection for good, without living in the gym.


What you’ll learn

• Why muscle is the engine of midlife metabolism (and the real fat-loss “hack”)

• How strength training fixes joint pain, posture, and “meno-belly” (insulin sensitivity!)

• The exact 6 moves: Lunge, DB Chest Press, Single-Leg Deadlift, Shoulder Press, Hip Thrust, Pull-Down/Row

• The structure: 3 pairs, 4×8, slow last reps, and simple Notes-app tracking

• How to fit it into a busy life (and why “no time” is a lie your future self can’t afford)


Why now?

After 30, lean mass drifts. After 50, it drops off a cliff. You don’t need a 90-minute routine—you need consistency + progression. This program removes fluff, risk, and decision fatigue so you can lift, log, and live.
