Women’s health, women over 40, body types, somatotyping, fitness, and emotional wellness take center stage in this powerful conversation where Leslie Capps sits down with Stacey Rae Mednick—a personal trainer, health coach, and women’s fitness instructor with 42 years of experience—who is on a mission to help women over 40 live vibrant, confident, and healthy lives from the inside out.
Stacey Rae shares her transformative journey from frustrated college fitness instructor to body-type researcher, women’s wellness advocate, and heart attack survivor. She breaks down somatotyping, the four body types, and how understanding your natural design creates freedom, results, and deep self-acceptance.
This episode digs into the emotional side of women's health, why diet culture harms results, and how body-type awareness helps women ditch shame and work with their bodies instead of against them.
You’ll also hear Stacey Rae’s gripping story of surviving two heart attacks, and why women must advocate for themselves medically, stop ignoring symptoms, and prioritize health as a true investment.
