Fitness & Movement Support
Strength that supports your body for the long term.
My relationship with fitness has changed a lot over the years.
After a lifetime of binge eating and overworking I lost over 110 pounds my late 20s.
I then rebuilt my strength gain after pregnancy and thyroid issues.
And I have had seasons where movement felt empowering, and seasons where it felt exhausting.
What all of that taught me is this: fitness only works when it is something you can sustain.
I do not believe in punishing workouts, endless cardio, or chasing results at the expense of hormone health.
I believe in building strength, protecting muscle as we age, and choosing movement that supports your body through every season of life.
Why Sustainable Fitness Matters
As women get older, our bodies change. Hormones shift, recovery slows, and muscle loss becomes a real concern.
The old “eat less, move more” approach often backfires, especially when stress is high or nutrition is inconsistent.
I care deeply about fitness that:
• Preserves and builds lean muscle
• Supports metabolic and bone health
• Protects hormone balance and recovery
• Improves energy instead of draining it
• Can be maintained long-term
This is why I prioritize strength training and smart recovery over high-volume cardio.
Movement should make you feel stronger, not depleted.
My Approach to Movement
I love lifting weights.
I do not love excessive cardio.
That does not mean cardio is bad, but for many women, especially in high-stress seasons, too much intensity without enough recovery can stall progress and disrupt hormones.
My approach focuses on:
• Strength training as the foundation
• Low-impact or moderate cardio as support
• Recovery as a non-negotiable
• Flexibility to adapt as life changes
Fitness should work with your body, not demand that you override it.
Strength, Recovery, and Aging Well
Building muscle is not about aesthetics. It is about health, longevity, and independence.
As we age, maintaining muscle helps support metabolism, insulin sensitivity, bone density, and overall resilience. Recovery becomes just as important as the workout itself.
Results are not just about the workout you complete. They are shaped just as much by how well your body is supported afterward.
That is why I pair smart training with intentional recovery and muscle-supporting supplements. These tools help protect progress, reduce soreness, and support consistency over time.
Recovery is where adaptation happens. It is when muscle repairs, energy is restored, and your body actually becomes stronger.
Without enough recovery, progress slows. Soreness lingers. Energy drops. And instead of building muscle, your body can start breaking it down, especially when stress is high or nutrition is inconsistent.
This matters even more for women over 35.
As hormones shift, recovery takes longer, muscle loss becomes easier, and bone density needs more attention.
The old advice to simply eat less and move more often works against us, particularly when we are under-fueling, over-training, or ignoring rest.
That is why I take post-workout support and muscle preservation seriously. Not because I am chasing extremes, but because I want my body to feel strong, capable, and supported through every season of life. You do not need to train like a bodybuilder to deserve that level of care.
I use two targeted tools, one focused on muscle strength and protection, and one focused on hydration, recovery, and mental clarity. They help my body respond better to training and recover more efficiently from both workouts and everyday stress.
✨ I use BUILD for preserving lean muscle, supporting strength gains, and protecting my progress, especially as hormones shift and recovery matters more.
✨I use SURGE for hydration, muscle repair, and calm focus, so I can recover well after workouts and still feel clear and steady on rest days.
Whether I am lifting weights, going for a walk, or coming off a demanding week, these supports help me bounce back faster and feel stronger in ways a protein shake alone never could.
The Fitness Options I Use and Recommend
This Is Fitness for Real Life
I am not here to sell perfection. I am here to support progress.
If you are coming back to movement after weight loss, pregnancy, burnout, or a long break, you do not need to start over.
You need a plan that respects where you are now and helps you move forward without fear or pressure.
You are allowed to train differently than you used to.
You are allowed to prioritize strength over sweat.
You are allowed to build fitness that lasts.
No single program fits every person or every phase. That is why I share multiple options that allow you to choose what works best for you.
