In this episode of the Forever Fit Podcast, I break down what fitness really means at different stages of life—and why it has nothing to do with extremes or chasing a look that no longer serves you. Fitness isn’t about pushing harder at all costs; it’s about building a body that lets you live fully, move without pain, and stay independent as you age. I share how our goals naturally evolve over time, why sustainability always wins, and what it truly means to be Forever Fit: having the habits, mindset, and tools to get back on track when life inevitably throws you off. I also share updates on my Forever Fit book and how our coaching approach supports long-term health, strength, and confidence.

In This Episode, We Cover:

00:00 Introduction: Personal Reflections on Fitness and Change

01:04 How the Meaning of Fitness Evolves Through Different Life Stages

06:01 What It Truly Means to Be “Forever Fit”

In this episode, I sit down with Pam Clark—who, at 86 years old, is redefining what’s possible for health, strength, and independence later in life. Pam shares her lifelong struggle with weight, her journey through decades of dieting, and the turning point that came when she embraced whole food, plant-based nutrition and strength training.

In this episode, I break down why nutrition alone is not enough if your goal is to look lean, strong, and healthy—especially after 50. Yes, eating in a calorie deficit can help you lose weight, but without strength training, you’re likely to lose muscle too and end up feeling “skinny fat.” We talk about how resistance training protects your muscle, strengthens your bones, and completely changes your body composition as you age. I also share how to combine a whole food, plant-based diet with the right training approach, plus a free resource to help you get started the right way.

In This Episode, We Cover:

[00:00–01:28] Why Weight Loss ≠ Body Transformation

[01:29–03:59] The “Skinny Fat” Trap: Nutrition Without Training

[04:00–07:07] Strength Training, Sarcopenia & Bone Health After 50

[07:08–10:58] How to Combine Plant-Based Nutrition + Training for Results

[10:59–14:42] Free Resources, Final Takeaways & Next Steps

Key Quotes

“ Training is the thing that will build your body. Nutrition is the thing that will reveal it” -Maxime.

“ I'm gonna share with you is why is it important to include some resistance training and strength training in your journey of wanting to improve your body composition in the journey of you trying to be a leaner, fitter, and better version of yourself.”-Maxime.
