As a lifelong athlete and sports medicine physician, I couldn’t figure out why—when I hit my late 40s—my bike rides to work felt harder. I thought I was getting fitter. I mean, I was an athlete! But instead, I was sore all the time, constantly tired, and what was with this belly fat that seemed to show up out of nowhere?

I tried the usual approach—eating less, exercising more. But nothing worked. I felt drained, defeated, and frustrated with my body.

Then, after going through a divorce, I hit a crossroads. Society often labels midlife women as “old” or “past their prime.” But I refused to accept that. I wanted this next chapter of my life to be my strongest, most confident yet.

So, I educated myself and made changes. I changed my exercise routine, my diet, cut back on alcohol, prioritized sleep, and shifted my mindset.

And within five months—everything changed. I gained muscle. I slipped back into my skinny jeans. I powered up hills on my bike with energy to spare. But the best part? I felt empowered, confident, and hopeful again.

Today, as a health and wellness coach with 30 years of medical experience, I’m on a mission to help midlife women do the same—becoming stronger, leaner, and more energized than they ever thought possible.
