Yep, I used to think walking was lame exercise! I was a cardio queen. Hour-long spinning classes, treadmill, and the elliptical were my go-tos. This worked great for me in my 20s, 30s, and even into my 40s, combined with not eating enough.🥺 I was in pretty good shape (maybe not that healthy) back then, but the fat started creeping in. Menopause hit, and oh boy. The crazy cardio and calorie deprivation were no longer working. What does the Mayo Clinic say about walking? 🚶‍♀️Helps you maintain a healthy weight & LOSE body fat 🚶‍♀️Strengthens bones & muscles 🚶‍♀️Increases energy level 🚶‍♀️Reduces stress & tension 🚶‍♀️Improves mood, cognition, memory, & sleep And so much more! All this combined with weight training is setting my clients up for success and building a solid foundation for now and the future! 💪Want to know more about my 6-week nutrition and fitness program? https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/?aid=michelefolan Please follow Asking for a Friend Pod #midlife #midlifewomen #health #wellness #fatloss #fitnessover40 #fitnessover50 #fitnessover60 #menopause #fatloss #fasterwaytofatloss

Roughly thirty percent of women aged 50-64 are single, and while there are plenty of dating apps out there to assist in the search for companionship, they aren't always ideal and can be overwhelming.

Dating and love coach, Maria Spears, wants to empower women to find the love of their lives and create the extraordinary relationships they've always wanted. She introduces foundational self-discovery exercises and techniques like journaling and EFT tapping to overcome limiting beliefs and rejuvenate confidence.

At the age of 59, I wasn't feeling or looking my best. Menopause hit me pretty hard. First step was to start stabilizing my blood sugar by eating breakfast. What do you know? Lots of great things happened. Not only did I have more energy throughout the day, but I had fewer cravings, lost fat, and was able to hit my protein goals. That first meal of the day is so important! Try to get at least 30g of protein at every meal. This is my PSA for the day. Happy Friday! Follow Asking for a Friend Pod

Yep! I've done all this, too. Doing the same thing and expecting better results. There is a different way! 👍Get at least 30g of protein at every meal, and yes, eat breakfast. 👍We need carbs for fuel! 👍Eating more than 1300 calories/day will actually fire up your metabolism. 👍If you can go for days with those little 5lb. weights, it's time to progress to more challenging weight. Muscle is so important in midlife and beyond. 👍The days of crazy cardio are in the past. Mix it up with weight training, a couple of days of short HIIT workouts, and walking. I may be telling you what you already know, but sometimes we need a little nudge. Happy to nudge you in the right direction! Let's work together.

Our travel through health and wellness on the podcast doesn't end with menopause, diets, and dumbbells; this week we venture into the tangled realm of cults with Shannon Payton. Her raw account, as a survivor and thriver, of a youth and adult spent within the restrictive walls of a religious cult, not only educates but also empowers, as she recounts her evolution with a resilience that's both poignant and humorous. Life inside a religious cult isn't a tale often told with candid laughter and heartfelt revelations, yet this is precisely the narrative Shannon brings to our episode. Her spontaneous rise to social media stardom and creating a podcast sanctuary for those affected by coercive control have made Shannon a beacon of relatability and healing. Join us for a conversation that promises to touch your heart, tickle your funny bone, and perhaps, inspire your next step forward. 🎧Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

My journey sits at the heart of our latest episode, joined by the resilient Stephanie Shaw, who shares her bewildering health crisis. Stephanie's tale is a stark reminder of the crucial role self-advocacy plays, especially when navigating the murky waters of perimenopause and menopause. Together, we peel back the layers of a holistic approach to health that is more than a mere trend—it's a lifeline for many. She has learned a great deal through her own research and has developed a program for clients that provides the "secret sauce" for getting their bodies, minds, and spirits back on track during peri and menopause.
