Fit Girl Magic | Healthy Living For Women Over 40

You know that "I'll start fresh in January" energy? Yeah… I'm calling BS on that. In this episode, it's time to break up with that New Year hype and showing you how to start your comeback now, right in the middle of the messy, cookie-filled, pre-holiday chaos. Because here's the truth: dates don't create change—reflection does. Here's What I Talk About: Why waiting for January 1st keeps us stuck in the same "start-over" cycle The 3-step year-end reset I use with my clients: Review. Reset. Reimagine. How to build boring but bulletproof consistency that actually lasts past February The real difference between "motivation" and "momentum" (and why one's a trap) My REPS method—Realistic, Excited, Planned, Sustainable—for creating habits that fit your actual life Why chasing six-week miracles never works and what to do instead Real Talk: If your workouts feel like punishment, your meal plan feels like a spreadsheet, and your "New Year, New Me" energy always crashes by President's Day, this episode is your wake-up call. I'm keeping it real, funny, and relatable while showing you how to ditch the pressure, stop waiting for perfect, and start stacking small wins right now. My Challenge for You: Take a real look at what worked this year and what didn't. Celebrate your small wins (yes, they count), then pick one to three boring-but-doable habits to carry through the holidays. This is how you stop being the women who disappears by February and become the woman who's still showing up strong in May. Ready to Go Deeper? Check out my free "Slay the Season Without Losing Your Sh*t" 5-day audio series, it's bite-sized coaching to help you enjoy the holidays without starting over. https://kimbarnesjefferson.lpages.co/5-days-slay-holiday And don't miss my free Live Q&A on November 19th, no scripts, no fluff, just real talk about what's actually holding you back. You don't need a new year. You just need new reps. Tune in now, reflect on your wins, and let's start building your next chapter—no waiting required.

Back in my competition days, rest days weren't a thing. My "recovery" was half-assed yoga followed by guilt because I wasn't drenched in sweat. If I wasn't training six days a week with a side of cardio, I thought my gains would evaporate. Sound familiar? Fast-forward to today, I've softened my stance. Most women I coach are juggling work, kids, parents, and a full-on life. 90 minute workouts just aren't it anymore. So let's talk about how to get strong without burning out. This week, I'm sharing my takeaways from Dr. Bret Contreras' conversation on the Huberman Lab Podcast, all about how much you really need to lift, how often, and when it's okay to sit your butt down and rest. We're diving into: The myth of "more is better" and how recovery is actually where growth happens Bret's take on Maximum Recoverable Volume (and what that really means in human speak) How to design 2–3 effective full-body workouts a week that build strength and confidence Why progressive overload beats random workouts every time How to stop chasing soreness and start chasing results And the truth about lifting after 40, it's not too late, but it does look different Because your body isn't built by burnout — it's built by showing up consistently, training smart, and recovering like you mean it. If you only have time for one thing, make it lifting.

You've heard me preach about the power of good fats, and this week, I finally sat down with the man who literally started the good‑oil movement: Udo Erasmus, creator of the legendary Udo's 3‑6‑9 Blend and author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill. We're busting myths left and right in this one. Remember when we thought fat‑free was the holy grail? Yeah… about that. Udo and I dig into: ·      Why your "healthy" oils might secretly be wrecking your hormones, joints, and mood ·      The truth about "cold‑pressed" labels (spoiler: it's mostly marketing fluff) ·      Which oils actually belong in your kitchen, and which should head straight for the trash ·      The connection between good fats, glowing skin, and better brain function How slowing down, eating closer to nature, and giving your body what it actually needs can change everything Udo also shares a story that'll blow your mind, how getting poisoned by pesticides made him realize our health is completely our responsibility… and how the oil industry has it all backward when it comes to what's "healthy." And of course, we end on my favorite note: why the right mindset matters just as much as what's on your plate. Key Takeaway: If your skin's dry, your energy's low, or your mood's funky, it might not be age, it might be your oils. Hit play, grab your notebook, and maybe a spoonful of good fat. Your body's ready for an upgrade, and this conversation will make you look at your pantry (and your frying pan) in a whole new way.

Alright, Magic Makers—today I'm getting a little spicy. I'm calling out the two lies I used to tell myself all the damn time, and if you've ever said, “I'll start when things calm down” or “I just need 30 days to get my sh*t together,” this one's gonna sting (in a good way). Lie #1: “I'll start when life calms down.” Let's be real—when has that ever happened? If you're waiting for your schedule to magically open up, you might be waiting till retirement. I'll tell you how I learned to show up even when life feels like a circus (and yes, sometimes it totally is). Lie #2: “I just need 30 days to get back on track.” Oh, I used to love this one. I'd go all-in, white-knuckle my way through, and then crash hard. Turns out, short bursts don't build lasting change consistency does. I'll show you what finally worked for me (and my clients) once I ditched the “perfect plan” fantasy. Messy action beats perfect planning every single time. I'll walk you through how I picked my 1–3 non-negotiables, those boring basics that actually make progress stick. Spoiler: they're not sexy, but they work. Expect a few laughs, a few “ugh, she's right” moments, and a whole lot of permission to stop waiting for the perfect time and just start now. Your challenge this week: Pick your 1–3 non-negotiables. Write them down. Stick ‘em on your mirror. Then do them, even if it's messy. Especially if it's messy. Mentioned in this episode: – by Gary Keller – My two previous episodes on “” Let's keep the convo going: Come hang out with me in the or tag me on Instagram and tell me your 3 non-negotiables. I love cheering on messy progress—because that's where the real transformation happens.

What if the harder you try, the more stuck you actually get? I know, sounds backwards, but I learned this lesson the hard way. Picture this: I'm in Hawaii, surrounded by paradise, and instead of enjoying the damn beach, I'm in full-blown meltdown mode over whether I earned my Mai Tai. That was the moment I realized… something had to change. Enter: The Flip Flop Life, my “napkin manifesto” that sat on my hard drive for six years before I finally brought it to life. In this episode, we're diving into: ·       Why perfection and all-or-nothing dieting are making you miserable (not healthy). ·       How to ditch the food police soundtrack running in your head 24/7. ·       The boring (a.k.a. unsexy) basics that actually move the needle, sleep, stress, protein, fiber, consistency. ·       What happens when you finally let it be easy instead of chasing six-week shred promises. This isn't another 30-day quick fix. It's a lifestyle shift for women who are done white knuckling their way through diets, workouts, and “earning their food.” So, if you're ready to trade the mental gymnastics for ease, fun, and actually living your life, welcome to The Flip Flop Life.

Here's the truth: once you hit your 40s, those 2-hour gym marathons and bro-split routines aren't just outdated… they're working against you.

The real reason endless cardio and crunches aren't getting you results. How to train for life, keeping up with kids, grandkids, and even carrying all the grocery bags in one trip. The underrated magic of balance and stability work to help you stay strong, steady, and injury-free. How to judge a workout by quality, not just time on the clock. This isn't about punishing yourself at the gym. It's about smart, sustainable workouts that help you feel energized, strong, and ready for whatever life throws at you.

Have you ever had a moment where you're like, “Is this really my life?” Yeah… me too. Mine happened mid-cry on a StairMaster, squeezing in a 90-minute workout because I thought being “the fit girl” was my golden ticket to happiness. Sigh....t wasn't. In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the raw, messy truth about how I ditched the grind, stopped earning my worth through workouts, and started living what I now call The Flip Flop Life™. This isn't about giving up on health. It's about giving up the hustle and rewriting the rules you didn't even realize were running your life. If you're tired of: ✔️ Monday “fresh starts” ✔️ Calculating every bite and step ✔️ Feeling like health is your second job …then, girl, you're going to LOVE this conversation. I'll share: ✅ The pivotal moments that cracked my “hardcore” fitness identity ✅ Why discipline was really desperation in disguise ✅ How to finally let yourself off the unrealistic hook ✅ And what living The Flip Flop Life actually looks like If you've been craving more joy, less judgment, and a whole lot of freedom, you need to listen to this one.

Do you have the syndrome? You know… the one where someone asks, “Hey, can you make the homecoming banner?” and before your brain or calendar catches up, your mouth says, “Of course!” Then five minutes later you remember… you've got a major deadline, three other commitments, and exactly zero extra hours this week. This week, I'm sitting down with therapist (and fellow recovering good girl) Diane Lang to expose what's really behind that knee-jerk yes—and why “being helpful” often just means putting yourself dead last. Saying yes to everyone else isn't what makes you valuable. In fact, the moment you stop making everyone's emergency your problem, you gain more respect and more time for the things you actually care about. We're breaking down: • Why “selfish” self-care is actually the least selfish thing you can do • How to drop the guilt without when saying no • The sneaky ways control addiction keeps you stuck • And how to make “no” your new favorite word (without the apology tour) Listen now and start building a life that doesn't require you to earn rest, justify your boundaries, or explain why your answer is no.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the real reason your “plan” might not be working anymore, and spoiler alert, it's not because you're lazy, unmotivated, or lacking discipline. Here's what we cover: ✅ Why trying to get it perfect is keeping you stuck (and what to do instead) ✅ How your old strategies are sabotaging your current reality ✅ The difference between “falling off” vs. simply evolving ✅ Why good-better-best beats all-or-nothing ✅ What to do when you feel like your workouts, meal prep, or sleep keep dropping off the radar And the best part?

You're doing everything “right” and your body's still like… nope. Can't drop the weight. Can't sleep. Can't stop yelling at your husband for breathing too loud. If you've ever blamed your hormones but couldn't explain which ones or why this episode is your wake-up call. I brought in hormone ninja Becca Chielankowski to break down the real hormone hierarchy (spoiler: insulin gets VIP access, not estrogen), why inflammation might be the real villain, and what's ACTUALLY driving your “fluffiness” in midlife. Becca and I cover: Why it's not just estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone The metabolic chaos of overtraining and undereating HRT myths, misfires, and must-know truths How cortisol got unfairly labeled the villain (and why it's not) The non-sexy foundations that actually fix your hormones And yes, why less hustle might save your health (gasp!)

If we were besties sipping coffee (or wine, let's be honest), and I wasn't afraid of hurting your feelings, this is the conversation we'd have. This episode? It's for the woman who says she's “stuck,” who's tired of tracking every bite, who keeps saying “I just need to get back on track” without asking what that even means anymore. ⚠️ Spoiler alert: Your plateau isn't punishment. Your metabolism isn't broken. But your beliefs? They might need a full-blown rewrite. We're burning the old rule book and building a strategy that fits your real life not your fantasy version from 20 years ago. Tune in for: ✅ What to do when “get back on track” feels like code for burnout ✅ Why your pace is perfect (and how to stop being pissed about it) ✅ 1–3 non-negotiables that actually work—even during hockey season, tax season, or total chaos ✅ What I'd tell you if you argued for your limitations one more damn time Hit play and let's get honest. Because you're not broken, you're just tired of doing too much for too little. If this hits home, share it with your ride-or-die who needs to stop dipping her toe into quick fixes and finally dive in goals that actually work for you.  

Ladies, we need to talk about the part of your body you never think about until it literally snaps —your BONES.   This week I'm joined by the actual king of bones, Dr. John Neustadt, a doctor and , researcher , and supplement founder who's made it his mission to prevent the silent epidemic we call osteoporosis.  

Welcome back to the third episode of our Metabolism Series – and today, I'm tackling the one topic that gets everyone in their feelings: FAT LOSS. But let's be clear… I'm not talking crash diets, cabbage soup, or “skinny by Saturday” nonsense. I'm talking fat loss done right. If you're a woman over 40 who's been dieting harder than a 2000s fitness competitor and still not seeing results, this episode is your permission slip to break up with the BS and start playing the long game. Inside this episode, I'm breaking down: Why your obsession with the scale is tanking your results What it actually means to change your body composition The 12–16-week fat loss phase (and why you should treat it like a season, not a lifestyle) Why that 1–2 lb per week “rule” is total trash How to wade into fat loss like a rockstar (without mourning your almond butter) Plus, you'll get the real scoop on why slashing calories, skipping meals, and fasting your face off is the exact opposite of what your perimenopausal body needs. Spoiler: There is a better way. And it starts by finally stop bullying your body and start to treat it like the partner it is. Bonus: I've got a Metabolism Quiz linked below that'll tell you exactly what phase you're in right now—fat loss, maintenance, or reverse. No more guessing, no more Googling. And if you're tired of white knuckling your way through another diet plan, grab my upcoming Metabolism Reset Guide to start building a sustainable fat loss roadmap that actually fits your real life. Hit play, grab a notebook (or your favorite protein smoothie), and let's get real about what it takes to get results at this stage of life, without burning out, bingeing, or blowing up your social life. Because my queen, fat loss isn't forever… but freedom from diet drama? That's the goal. Screenshot this ep, tag me on IG or hop into the Fit Girl Magic Facebook group and share your biggest takeaway!

Ladies, if money talk makes your eyes glaze over... or you secretly worry you're “bad” at it... this is THE episode for you. I'm bringing in my girl Tess Smith, a financial educator who is the exact OPPOSITE of some stiff suit yelling on TV. (No jargon. No shame. No calculator required.) She's keeping it SIMPLE and real, because money stress is one of the biggest weights we all carry… especially in midlife. And Magic Makers, you deserve better than flying blind or feeling stuck. In this fun conversation, we cover: ✅ Why “bougie broke” is keeping too many women trapped (good bye Stanley cup) ✅ The sneaky ways we're held hostage by money beliefs ✅ How to build financial freedom, yes, even if you feel like its “too late” ✅ Why having a million bucks isn't the only way to retire well ✅ What your 401k should actually be doing for you (and what Tess wishes every woman knew) If you've ever said: “I'm bad with money…” “I missed the boat…” “I'll figure it out later…” …it's TIME to listen. This could change everything.

Okay magic makers, if you've ever thought maintenance was just code for “you're stuck,” then buckle up, because today's Fit Girl Magic podcast episode is about to blow that myth straight outta your protein shake. I'm diving DEEP into the most underrated phase of fat loss: MAINTENANCE (aka the peaceful middle ground where your metabolism gets to breathe and your sanity comes back). If you've been stuck in the all-or-nothing hustle, this is your permission slip to chill the F out… strategically. Here's what I'm breaking down: ·      Why reverse dieting was just the appetizer ·      The truth about living in a 3–5lb weight range (yep, it's normal) ·      What “boring AF” habits actually create freedom (spoiler: they're not sexy, but they work) ·      Why we need to stop chasing perfection and start chasing consistency ·      How to use your real life (not some Pinterest vision board) to map your fat loss seasons ·      What it means to live in your damn maintenance house and decorate it with non-negotiables Plus: Why cardio might be killing your vibe Why it's okay to ditch the clean plate club Why you don't have to like tofu to eat like a grown-ass woman And how to make “rinse and repeat” feel like freedom, not failure This is THE episode for every woman over 40 who's done being a slave to the scale, tired of starting over, and ready to feel at peace in her body again. Hit play, take a walk, and prepare to feel seen.  And hey, I'm working on updating my Maintenance Magic ebook when it drops want a copy?

You don't need another diet. You need a reason to stop chasing skinny like it's still 1999. In this week's Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm joined by Olivia Young—a coach who gets it. We both work with women who've spent years stuck in the “eat less, move more” loop… and it's just not working anymore. So we're doing what most people won't: we're having the real convo about what it actually takes to feel good in your body, without obsession. Here's what we get into:

If you're anything like me, you've spent more summers than you'd like to admit bouncing between being “on plan” or going completely off the rails—then beating yourself up for it. I used to believe that if I wasn't starving, sore, and checking every damn box on a to-do list, I was failing. In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm calling BS on all of that. I'm sharing how I went from obsessive meal prep and gym workouts on vacation (yes, I was that girl) to actually enjoying my life and making progress. It's all about what I call my Non-Negotiables—a few simple habits I can take with me anywhere that keep me grounded, sane, and consistent no matter what life throws at me. What I Dive Into: Why extreme doesn't equal effective (and never did) The “perfect plan” lie that kept me stuck for years The 1–3 habits that helped me feel free, not frantic How I let go of the guilt around fun foods like rosé and ice cream How I learned to reflect instead of self-destruct “Fun isn't failure. One fun meal doesn't cancel out a week of consistency. But beating yourself up? That will knock you off track.”  If you're over 40 and done with starting over, this one's for you. No more chasing perfect. It's time to build a lifestyle that can hold up when life gets messy (because it always will). Want in on the Unsexy Summer Shred? This is my 8-week challenge for women who want to build real, repeatable results using boring-but-powerful habits. Nothing extreme. Just sanity, sustainability, and success.

Ever feel like you're crushing life… until life crushes you right back? You're meal-prepping, showing up for workouts, answering emails faster than ChatGPT, helping your kids survive college admissions, and wondering why you are running on fumes. You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're just burned the hell out. In this episode, I'm joined by Coach Ellen Schinke, burnout expert, high-achiever whisperer, and fellow recovering perfectionist, to break down what burnout really is (hint: it's not just being tired) and how to spot it before you're face down on the floor wondering if wine counts as a self-care strategy. We get into: The 4 types of burnout (yes, there's more than one!) Why your brain won't shut up at night (hello, overthinking) The sneaky ways you're numbing with "healthy" habits How to ditch the pressure for balance and aim for sustainable badassery What self-compassion actually looks like (spoiler: it's not bubble baths and mantras) Whether you're running on caffeine and cortisol or just feeling off lately, this conversation will give you the words, awareness, and tools to pull yourself out of burnout and back into your body. No guilt. No shame. Just real talk, real tools, and a reminder that doing less doesn't make you less.

Ever found yourself in a hospital room Googling “all the medical mumbo jumbo that you just heard from five different people in white coats? Or maybe you've sat there silently, praying someone would just translate what's happening to your mom or spouse? You're not alone. Hospitals can be overwhelming AF. When our loved ones get admitted, we're handed forms, not answers. We're expected to trust the process, even when our gut says something's off. And let's be honest—half the time you don't know who's in charge, what your rights are, or how to get your questions answered without being labeled “that family member.” That's why I'm happy to have Dr. Julie Siemers—nurse, educator, and medical truth-teller with 40 years of experience on the Fit Girl Magic podcast to teach you Hospital Survival 101. She's pulling back the curtain (and yep, throwing a little polite sass at the system). You'll learn how to advocate for your loved ones, speak the secret hospital language, and not be dismissed like a confused extra on Grey's Anatomy. Grab your notebook, open your Notes app, or just hit play and soak this in—because this episode might literally save a life.

Feeling stuck AF? You're not broken — your intuition's just been on mute. Today, I'm chatting with the amazing Isabel Chiara to uncover how to stop sabotaging yourself, trust your gut again, and actually nourish your mind, body, and soul — without feeling like you're a DIY project that needs constant fixing. We're swerving off the usual path and getting real about what's actually driving your behaviors. (Hint: It's not your willpower, it's not your macros, and it's definitely not a broken metabolism.) Inside this episode, Isabel and I dig into: ✨ Why ignoring your gut keeps you stuck (and how to trust it again) ✨ How one playground insult can haunt you for decades (and how to finally let it go) ✨ How to shift your vibe from "I suck" ➡️ "I'm magical AF" ✨ Why the scale needs to lose your number (and how to break up with it for good) ✨ How “nourish” became Isabel's power word for radical mindset shifts ✨ The real reason you reach for unlimited carbs (spoiler: it's not because you're weak)   PLUS — Isabel shares her Nourish App — a simple, powerful way to rewire old patterns without spending the next 10 years in therapy. (She's even giving you a FREE month to try it out — don't sleep on this!) If your brain's been stuck on the same struggle-bus loop, this episode is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.

If you think health has to be hard, restrictive, and basically suck the joy outta life—this episode is your wake-up call. I'm joined by Justin Nault, founder of Clovis (and one of the very few dudes I've let crash the mic), and trust me—he earns his seat. He and I talk food freedom, telling diet culture to go pound sand, and finally learning how to feel unbothered by what other people think even if it's your inner mean girl. We cover:

In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm talking all about when you're saying,  “I'm fine, everything's fine” when everything is not as fine as you want it to be. Yeah, this vibe might be the very thing blocking your weight loss, stealing your sleep, jacking your mood, and wrecking your energy like a toddler on a sugar bender. I'm breaking down the hidden stressors you've been brushing off as “just how life is”—but your body's waving red flags like it's landing planes on the runway. I'm talking:

If you've ever wondered whether fasting is your golden ticket or just another wellness trend that will leave you frustrated—this episode is for YOU. I sat down with Renee Fitton from Prolon to break down intermittent fasting vs. fasting mimicking—and spoiler alert: yes, there's a difference, and yes, it matters, especially if you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause. Renee and I dove into: How the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet gives you food and the benefits of fasting (without white knuckling your way through the day) Why five days is the sweet spot for fat loss, inflammation, and muscle protection What the hell “autophagy” is and why it's like a Dyson vacuum for your cells How you can turn back the biological clock—for real—in just 15 days a year What happens after the 5 days (spoiler: don't sprint to 7-Eleven for chips and wine) The one big fasting mistake women over 40 keep making We talked why your metabolism is not mad at you and how Prolon makes it dummy-proof with everything you need in one box. No Googling. No guesswork. Just results. Key Takeaways: Fasting mimicking = food without breaking the fast = results without wrecking your hormones Too much of a good thing? Still too much. (Yes, even fasting.) Your muscle is your metabolism. Don't lose it trying to lose fat. You only need to do this 3x a year for noticeable longevity and fat-loss benefits Refeeding = just as important as fasting.

Ladies, we are NOT here for workouts that leave us exhausted, burnt out, and questioning all our life choices. Today, we're talking about the reality check that hits after 40—when your old gym tricks stop working, and your hormones decide to throw a party you didn't want an invite to. If you've ever wondered why your two-hour gym sessions aren't giving you the results they used to—or if you're struggling to find time for fitness in the chaos of midlife—this episode is for YOU. I'm breaking down how to train smarter, not longer, and why it's time to ditch the gym bro splits in favor of workouts that keep you strong, energized, and ready to chase those grandkids (or at least keep up with your overly active Golden Retriever). What You'll Learn in This Episode:

You know those moments when you catch your reflection and think, wait… is this my body now?! Yeah, we're going THERE today.
