In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I talk with my good buddy Chad Landers, veteran trainer, strength coach, and author of Building Strength and Muscle After 50, about how to keep gaining strength and muscle as you get older without falling off the “injury cliff.” We dig into why consistency matters most, how progress often drops in steps after injuries, and why smart modifications beat worshipping any single lift.  Chad shares lessons from coaching clients for decades, including balancing pressing with back work, using better technique (like pause benching), and building conditioning with tools like the fan bike, rower, and step mill. We also cover practical programming, tracking PRs beyond 1RM, and why it's never “too late” to start training—especially after 50.

FREE RESOURCE:  Click the link and see if the SHED METABOLIC RESET PROGRAM is a good fit for you!  FREE RESOURCE:  Sign up HERE for Dr. Tara's free talk on Perimenopause & Weight Gain happening on Wednesday, April 29th at 7pm   This episode explores the complex hormonal and metabolic changes during perimenopause that impact weight loss.  Dr. Tara and Dr. Michelle share insights on hormonal fluctuations, muscle mass, stress, sleep, and mindset, offering practical strategies for women navigating this challenging phase.   Takeaways Perimenopause weight gain is not a willpower issue, it's driven by real hormonal and metabolic shifts. Hormones don't just decline, they fluctuate, making symptoms unpredictable and confusing. Loss of muscle mass lowers metabolism, making it easier to gain weight without changing your diet. Fat distribution shifts toward the abdomen, increasing visceral fat and health risks. Insulin resistance and cortisol elevation make fat loss harder and increase hunger. Poor sleep and chronic stress amplify weight gain and disrupt metabolism. Old strategies like excessive cardio or fasting often stop working in this phase of life. Strength training and building muscle are essential for long-term metabolic health. Proper nutrition, especially enough protein, fiber, and balanced meals becomes more important than ever. Nervous system regulation and true rest are key drivers of weight loss and overall health. Weight loss resistance is also emotional and behavioral, not just physical. Building self-awareness, self-trust, and compassion is critical for sustainable results. You are not broken, your body requires a new approach in this phase of life.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 03:37 Defining Perimenopause and Its Symptoms 04:28 Hormonal Fluctuations and Diagnosis Challenges 06:55 Hormones and Metabolic Changes in Perimenopause 10:27 Hormonal Impact on Body Fat Redistribution 12:07 The Role of Muscle Mass and Metabolism 16:18 Importance of Resistance Training and Building Muscle 18:52 Visceral Fat and Health Risks 21:59 Body Image, Grief, and Societal Expectations 26:26 Hormonal and Metabolic Interconnections 31:44 Sleep Disruption and Its Effects 33:27 Movement, Exercise, and Building Strength 36:49 Nutrition, Carbohydrates, and Blood Sugar 41:26 Stress, Cortisol, and Nervous System Impact 42:08 Joy, Self-Compassion, and Emotional Well-being 47:35 Self-acceptance and Body Changes 51:57 Mindset, Self-Trust, and Empowerment 56:26 The Role of Education and Self-knowledge 01:01:19 Supporting Long-term Transformation and Self-Discovery 01:03:19 Upcoming Masterclass and Resources   Stay Wild.

Building Strength, Community, and Long-Term Fitness w/ Chris Ryan Description: What if the real key to fitness isn't intensity, motivation, or discipline, but sustainability? In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor sits down with Chris Ryan, a former Division I track and field athlete turned coach and entrepreneur who has spent years helping people build a healthier, more consistent relationship with movement. Through Chris Ryan Fitness, Chris has built a community centered around the idea that fitness should be accessible, enjoyable, and something people can maintain for life, not just during short bursts of motivation. In this conversation, Taylor and Chris explore the deeper lessons that physical training can teach us about consistency, identity, and resilience. They talk about the difference between motivation and sustainable habits, how community can dramatically influence long-term health, and why the most powerful changes often come from small routines repeated over time. Together they discuss: • Why motivation alone rarely leads to lasting fitness • The mindset shift from short-term results to long-term health • The role community plays in sustaining consistency • How movement can build confidence and emotional resilience To get the support your health and fitness business deserves, click the link to find out how you can be a part of the Growth Circle community. https://www.impactinitiative.network/services/growth-circle Free weekly guidance, insight, and tools for health and fitness entrepreneurs: The Business of Coaching - https://taylor75.substack.com/

Welcome back to Late Boomers! We're your hosts, Cathy Worthington and Merry Elkins, and today we're diving into a topic that's close to our hearts—and so important to living our best third act: Fitness After 50. Whether you're just entering this milestone or already thriving in your 60s, 70s, or beyond, this episode is packed with inspiration, practical advice, and real stories to help you stay strong, independent, and energized at every age.We sit down with Michael Guadagnino, author of Fitness Over 50, 60, 70, and Beyond, who shares his passion for helping boomers unlock their potential through movement—no matter their starting point. Michael sheds light on why the habits we build post-50 make such an impact on our longevity, happiness, confidence, and daily independence. We also bust some damaging fitness myths, talk about the power of functional strength, and get actionable tips for building a routine that feels good—without intimidation.Key Takeaways:It's Never Too Late: Michael's story about Joan Campbell, who began exercising at 59 and was still swimming into her 90s, is proof that transformation is possible at any age.Ditch the Comparison Game: The most important shift is to listen to your own body, stop comparing yourself to others, and build your unique path to fitness.Functional Fitness Is the Goal: We discuss why being able to move well in daily life—not just in the gym—matters so much as we age.Strength Training Matters: Especially for women, building muscle is critical for balance, metabolism, and fall prevention, but getting started doesn't have to be overwhelming.Start Simple, Start Small: You don't need fancy equipment or a gym membership—Michael gives great examples of calisthenics, resistance bands, and walking.Mindset Makes the Difference: Embracing aging, letting go of fear and negative self-talk, and celebrating small wins can transform how you approach fitness.Move More, Sit Less: Michael's motto, “Movement is life,” underlines how important it is to simply keep moving, stretch, and keep blood flowing—even just a few times a week.Ready to Take the First Step?Michael's advice is to pick one simple thing you can do today—whether it's a short walk, a few chair exercises, or writing down a small goal.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Denmark-based coach and hybrid athlete Andreas Stobberup to talk about bridging serious strength training with high-level endurance performance. Andreas shares his journey from peaking around 250 lbs with a 405 bench and 600+ squat to dropping to 205 and completing a full Ironman in 9:52—while continuing to coach athletes across disciplines. We discuss the reality gap between amateur and elite performance, how influencer culture often strips context from training advice, and why fundamentals still win: training, nutrition, sleep, and measurable outputs. We break down common misunderstandings around Zone 2 training, why pros don't train the way social media says they do, and how strength athletes can intelligently add conditioning without compromising lifting. We also cover VO₂ max development, microdosing cardio, output-based tracking (times, power, lactate), and how to think about HRV and wearable data in context. If you're interested in hybrid training, improving conditioning without sacrificing muscle, or understanding how to measure what actually matters, this one is packed with practical insight.

This week, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Dr. Krista Fazio, a Doctor of Physical Therapy based in Portugal to discuss the evolving role of physical therapy, the importance of strength and mobility for longevity and pain reduction, and the rise of female practitioners.Train like an athlete. Move better. Feel stronger.
Dr. K is a Doctor of Physical Therapy based in Portugal who represents the modern evolution of her profession. Working with clients across performance, rehabilitation, and longevity, her work focuses on restoring strength, mobility, and resilience so people can return not just to baseline—but to capability.Her company, FitPhysio, Krista provides cutting-edge, science-backed rehab and training programs to clients both online and in-person. Her approach blends the best of physical therapy and strength training to help a wide range of clients... from professional athletes to individuals looking to rebuild strength, and optimize their movement for longevity. Krista's philosophy is simple but powerful: build strength and mobility to protect your joints, reduce pain, and preserve your body for the long run. Whether you're looking to get back to sport, stay pain-free, or simply move better in daily life, Krista delivers the expertise and personalized care to help you get there.What most people interpret as “tightness” is often weakness. The nervous system restricts motion when it senses instability. Build strength in those ranges, and the body unlocks pain-free movement.Krista does not adhere to the insurance-driven physical therapy model that prioritizes heat, ice, and temporary relief- Instead, her approach is active, progressive, and system-wide. Low back pain is rarely just a back issue. Hip instability, poor foot mechanics, rib positioning, weak glutes—everything connects. Treat the body as a system, not a symptom.Dr. Fazio has also embraced online care, demonstrating that effective assessment, coaching, and accountability can be delivered globally. In many cases, remote therapy increases ownership—clients see themselves move, understand their patterns, and take responsibility for progress.Her message is consistent: build strength. Train mobility with control. Strengthen the glutes. Stabilize the core. Progress deliberately. Longevity is not accidental—it is trained.This conversation is about modernizing physical therapy, reclaiming responsibility for your body, and building a structure that holds up under stress—for sport, for life, and for decades to come

How many times have you told yourself, “I'll just start over on Monday”—after one off meal, a missed workout, or a really busy week? If that cycle sounds familiar, you're not alone. So many women get stuck in the start-over mindset, thinking progress only counts if it's perfect. Today, we're talking about how to finally break free from that pattern and build healthy eating habits and real strength—without the guilt, without extremes, and without chasing perfection. I'm sharing three simple shifts that can help you stay strong, steady, and consistent as you step into this new year. And if you want support along the way, I'd love for you to join me in my Facebook community, Lose Weight Live Free. Let's do this together.

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Jenna Jozefowski for an honest, nuanced, and refreshing conversation about strength, health, and rewriting the rules of fitness. Jenna—an NASM-certified personal trainer, kettlebell coach, trauma-informed weightlifting coach, yoga and dance teacher, and former professional dancer—shares how years in the movement and wellness industry led her to question the narrow, often harmful definitions of what it means to be “healthy” and “fit.” She opens up about her own journey of burnout, disordered wellness practices, hormonal imbalance, and the wake-up call that forced her to stop running herself into the ground in pursuit of perfection. Together, Jenna and Mike "C-Roc" unpack the dangers of one-size-fits-all fitness advice, especially in the age of social media, and explore how listening to your body, embracing nuance, and building real strength—physically and mentally—can be far more empowering than chasing aesthetic ideals. From kettlebells and functional movement to curiosity, resilience, and calling out the BS in the fitness world, this episode is a powerful reminder that movement should build you up, not break you down.Website-itsjennaj.comSocial Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/itsjennaj/?hl=enhttps://pod.link/1602465342

This episode originally dropped on: March 19, 2025Many of us have spent a lifetime trying to shrink ourselves. We grew up being told you could never be too thin. As athletes, especially in endurance sports, smaller, lighter, faster was the ethos of the day. That is changing as we see athletes, especially women, discover that being fueled and strong yields even better performance–and longevity. This week's guest, trainer and nutrition coach Steph Gaudreau embodies that journey through both her personal and professional life. She shares how, for 40+ women especially, growing muscles is the key to better energy and performance in sport and life, and how strength training is the gateway to midlife self-acceptance. Steph Gaudreau, CISSN, CPT, helps athletic women over 40 fuel themselves better, get stronger, increase their energy, and perform better in the gym. She's a sports nutritionist and strength coach with multiple certifications including USA Weightlifting coach, Menopause Health & Fitness Specialist, Girls Gone Strong Women's Coaching Specialist, and Intuitive Eating Counselor.

Chad Landers is a former NSCA Personal Trainer of the Year award winner, with over 30 years of hands-on coaching experience and more than 20 years as a gym owner. Chad is also the author of the new book Building Strength and Muscle After 50, which draws on decades of real-world coaching rather than trends or fear-based messaging.In this episode, Chad joins Andrew Coates to discuss what actually changes with training as we age—and what often gets blamed on aging that's really the result of lifestyle, consistency, and accumulated stress.Rather than promoting limitations, Chad makes a strong case for intelligent progression, long-term thinking, and creating training environments that people can sustain well into their 50s, 60s, and beyond.In this episode, Chad shares insights on:• Whether strength training truly needs to change after age 50• What is physiologically different as we age vs. what is lifestyle-driven• Why long breaks from training become less forgiving over time• How consistency becomes more valuable than intensity with age• Whether younger lifters should proactively adjust how they train• If and when exercise selection should change as we get older• The trade-offs between recreation, recovery, and strength goals• Home gym vs. commercial gym training later in life• Why coaching experience matters more than certifications alone• How relationships, environment, and social connection influence long-term success• And much moreInstagram: @chadlandersCHAPTERS00:16 Chad Landers' New Book00:51 The Journey to Becoming an Author04:25 Training After 50: Do We Need a New Approach?07:36 The Importance of Consistency Over Intensity08:41 Physical Changes and Smarter Training Adjustments16:41 Balancing Life, Stress, and Fitness22:33 Proactive Training Strategies When You're Younger25:49 Recreational Activities and Performance Trade-offs26:36 Gym Life and Training Adjustments With Age27:55 Different Training Approaches Across Age Groups29:42 Home Gym vs. Commercial Gym Training32:46 The Value of Coaching Experience41:04 Client Relationships and Long-Term Retention47:50 Final Thoughts and Book PromotionSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode helped you, you can help me by:• Subscribing and checking out more episodes• Sharing it on your social media (tag me — I'll respond)• Sending it to a friend who wants to stay strong without burning outFOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10% off)https://justbitememeals.com/MacrosFirst – FREE Premium TrialDownload MacrosFirst → During setup, answer “How did you hear about us?”Type: ANDREWKNKG Bags (15% off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Gripps (discount link)https://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC – FREE 90-Day Trial (2 steps)Go to: https://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know Andrew sent you

In this episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with entrepreneur and wellness advocate Jerome, whose life story is a raw testament to trauma, resilience, and the determination to build something better for the next generation.What begins as a conversation about childhood adversity becomes a shocking revelation:Jerome discovered that he was likely a surviving twin, the result of selective abortion practices in 1970s France. That discovery unraveled decades of unexplained psychological pain, complex PTSD, and emotional disconnection. For the first time publicly, he opens up about prenatal trauma, childhood neglect, and the generational patterns he is determined to break as a father of three young girls. Key Takeaways:-Trauma isn't just emotional, prenatal and childhood trauma shape the brain, identity, and adulthood.-Breaking generational cycles requires intentionality, vulnerability, and emotional honesty.-Children don't need perfect parents, they need present, loving, apologetic, humble ones.-Determination is built in moments where your instinct is to react, but you choose to respond with love.-Mental health struggles are not weakness; silence is. Talking about it is the first step to freedom-Affordable healthcare is possible, removing middlemen makes life-saving medication accessible for families in need. Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGAJerome Knyszewskihttps://www.instagram.com/jeromeknyszewski/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

High-achieving women are often praised for doing it all, but at what cost? In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Patty Durell to unpack what strength really looks like when you're burning out behind the scenes. From fitness to failure to finally asking for help, this conversation dives into the pressure to keep pushing, and the permission to start pausing.Patty shares her insights as a fitness expert who takes a trauma-informed approach to health, reminding us that wellness isn't about punishing your body—it's about understanding it. Together, she and Lyndsay challenge the hustle mentality, explore what it means to redefine strength, and offer a science-backed take on how efficient workouts (just 25 minutes, twice a week!) can actually be more effective than the grind.They talk about stress as a full-body experience, the myth of balance, and the healing power of water—physically and metaphorically. This episode is about rewriting the rules, giving yourself grace, and embracing the version of strength that doesn't require burnout as a badge of honor.Tune in if you're ready to stop proving your worth through exhaustion and start honoring it through self-care.Find Patty Durell Online Here:Website: www.rocksolidfitnessfl.comInstagram: @rocksolidfitnessflFacebook: Rock Solid Fitness FLLinkedIn: Rock Solid Fitness FLFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(02:08) Redefining Strength and Self-Care(03:27) The Role of Struggle in Building Strength(07:34) Trauma-Informed Approaches to Healthcare(09:20) Efficient Strength Training Techniques(12:13) Understanding Exercise vs. Activity(15:52) The Mindset Shift: Embracing Failure(21:23) The Importance of Asking for Help(26:52) Managing Stress and Recovery(32:28) The Journey of Healing and Growth

Part Two, I highly recommend doing so — they lay the foundation for this deeper dive into how protein works in the body, how much we actually need, and why amino acids from plants are identical to those from animals.Today, we're getting practical and personal by looking at:* The many benefits (besides aesthetics) when we build muscle* Why protein timing matters as much as protein amount* How leucine — one of the branched-chain amino acids — acts as the “on switch” for muscle repair and growth* Why lifting heavy (yes, heavy sh*t!) is essential for preserving strength, bone density, and metabolic health* How creatine supports muscle building* Shifting from weight loss to body recomposition* Answers to your questions about collagenYou'll learn how to overcome anabolic resistance (our body's natural decline in muscle-building efficiency with age), why women in particular benefit from shorter post-workout protein windows, and how simple daily habits play into muscle repair and longevity.If you've been wondering how to eat and train for strength, confidence, and longevity — while keeping it plant-based and joyful — this episode is for you.Listen wherever you get your podcasts by clicking “play” on the player above.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this special episode of The Drive, Peter hosts a strength and conditioning roundtable with three experts in the field—Gabrielle Lyon, Jeff Cavaliere, and Mike Boyle. Together they explore why maintaining muscle mass, strength, and power is essential for healthspan and longevity, and examine how resistance training supports metabolic resilience and injury prevention across the lifespan. The conversation covers practical strategies for getting started and staying consistent, the importance of a protein-centered diet tailored to age and activity level, and approaches to resistance training for peri- and post-menopausal women—including tendon care and optimal programming. They debate single-leg training versus heavy bilateral lifts, share knee-friendly lower-body options, and highlight exercises that belong in the “graveyard” due to poor risk-reward ratios. Finally, the group discusses youth sports specialization, emphasizing the long-term value of variety for developing lifelong athletes. We discuss: Personal career journeys and philosophies of each guest that shaped their approaches to strength, conditioning, and lifelong health [3:30]; Why so few people engage in resistance training despite its proven health benefits [8:30]; Mike's low-stress, high-consistency method for training beginners to resistance training [18:45]; How resistance training enhances metabolic health and body composition even in lean, highly active endurance athletes [25:30]; The dominant role of nutrition in shaping physique and achieving low body fat, the synergistic effect of resistance training, and the unrealistic expectations about muscle growth and fat loss [28:30]; Why Jeff advocates for five meals a day, and why meal timing matters less than overall protein intake and caloric consistency [38:00]; Optimizing protein for every stage of life: quality, quantity, and guidelines for diverse diets and body types [44:15]; The advantages of unilateral lower-body training over heavy bilateral lifts: impact on strength, athleticism, recovery, and functional movement [51:45]; Rethinking heavy squats and deadlifts: risk-reward, aging bodies, and the case for reverse lunges and other single-leg alternatives [1:01:15]; Adapting with age: Gabrielle on injuries, hip dysplasia, and the shift to smarter training [1:10:15]; Exercises that belong in the “iron graveyard”: unnecessarily risky exercises and their safer alternatives [1:19:15]; The downside of early sports specialization in children and the long-term benefits of encouraging kids to play multiple sports [1:25:00]; Advice for preventing an Achilles injury: calf strength, ankle mobility, and listening to pain signals [1:33:15]; Shoulder pain: how to keep training the upper body when shoulder pain limits pressing movements [1:40:45]; Effective strength training strategies for women before, during, and after the menopausal transition [1:43:15]; Best practices for strength training and athletic development in children, and the pitfalls of early sports specialization [1:50:30]; How to foster healthy habits and an interest in fitness beyond playing sports [2:00:00]; Something each guest has changed their mind about in the last five years [2:04:00]; and More.
