Ep.95 Becoming MindStrong: The Truth About Nutrition, Fitness, and the Bullsh*t That's Holding You Back

Asking for a Friend - Health, Fitness & Personal Growth Tips for Women in Midlife

Ever feel like midlife health and fitness is a puzzle with missing pieces? This week, we've got the missing link in Rachel Freiman, the brainpower behind Mindstrong Fitness, who joins us to piece together the truth about wellness during life's halftime show. Rachel's transition from musician to fitness aficionado isn't just inspiring—it's a masterclass in how the fusion of education, science, and mindset shifts can overhaul our approach to health. We tackle the tough topics, like the nuances of women's fitness during menopause, and dispel the smoke and mirrors of industry myths that have clouded our judgment for far too long.
Navigating nutrition can feel like decoding a foreign language, but our conversation with Rachel turns complex nutritional science into understandable bites. We get into the nitty-gritty of metabolism, the pitfalls of calorie cutting, and why tracking your food intake isn't about restriction but about crafting a nutrition plan that evolves with you. Rachel doesn't just hand over the keys to intuitive eating; she maps out the journey from where you are now to where your body thrives, and it’s a trip worth taking. Her insights on macros and the role they play in not just your diet, but your overall fitness and wellness, will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about eating right.
Wrapping up, we get an exclusive look at the powerhouse that is the Mind Strong Fitness programs—where the rubber meets the road in the form of neuroscience, nutrition, and a supportive online coaching system designed for real, lasting change. Rachel's dedication to transforming lives shines through as she shares success stories and the underlying principles that make her programs so effective. And for those hungry for more, Rachel's book, podcast, and social media presence serve as a buffet of resources, ready to fortify your journey to becoming the healthiest, most empowered version of yourself. So, tune in, fuel up on knowledge, and get ready to become mind strong.
