The Problem With Perfect

Rethinking Health and Fitness to Reclaim Our Aging Bodies With Ruthie Massman


Listen Later

Aging gracefully is an art- as our emotional, physical, and nutritional needs change significantly. 

Social media tells us we need products and procedures to remain vibrant and youthful. Today's guest, Ruthie Massman, is a fitness trainer and wellness coach who takes a more holistic approach, “I think it’s worth reframing how we think about aging. Aging doesn’t mean you’re losing your power – it means you’re gaining a chance to own it in a new way.”

Hormonal shifts, metabolism changes, and weight redistribution are challenges women typically experience over time. The diet and exercise we’ve followed for years no longer produce the same results, and the scale is no longer our friend. We may look in the mirror and wonder who is that person. The good news is there are things we can do to reclaim our bodies. 

Join us as Ruthie discusses the nutritional essentials of protein, collagen, and creatine. Did you know the recommended daily protein intake is 1g per 1lb of ideal body weight? Who knew cottage cheese was the new superfood? She also discusses the role of resistance training in preserving muscle mass, improving bone density, and maintaining functional strength. Her holistic approach to aging, including journaling and meditation, reminds us of our ability to maximize our wellness potential, mind, body, and soul. Who couldn’t use a little more of that?

Special Guest: Ruthie Massman, a 20-year fitness coach who has developed an app that helps women reframe aging, exercise, and diet. Follow her on Instagram @RuthieMassman.
