Many of us going through menopause at the moment were the latchkey kids of Generation X, who came of age without a whole lot of supervision and (though it certainly wasn't all bad!), more than our share of angst, body image issues, eating disorders, and cultural BS about how women were supposed to look and behave. It wasn't always easy, but it also taught us how to fend for ourselves, be resilient, and forge our own way–qualities that are very helpful as we navigate the menopause transition and beyond. This week's guest, Jody Trostler, owner of Just Train, has been through all of it and is committed to helping women get fit and strong, find their power, advocate for themselves, and be the best version of themselves right now. She also walks her talk, competing in her first CrossFit event at age 48, and is still hitting PRs in the weight room at 55.Jody Trostler, owner of Just Train Personal Training, is a Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor, Certified Online Coach and Master Health Coach and has completed Stacy Sims Menopause For Athletes course.

Danny Massa is a 32-year-old man who was born and raised in the Bronx. Like so many of us, as an insecure adolescent, Danny was picked on for his weight. And so at the age of 12, he turned to boxing, martial arts, and physical fitness to build his confidence. Shortly after, Danny began competing in boxing matches and mixed martial arts competitions and holds a record of 10 wins and 4 losses. His father, Captain Daniel J. Massa, served New York City as a Firefighter for 25 years and was part of the rescue and recovery effort at the World Trade Center in 2001. His father's words, “Always try to leave everywhere you've been a little nicer than the way you found it” , inspired Danny to follow in his footsteps and become a New York Firefighter. Danny is also a member of the FDNY Boxing Bravest (with a 4-0 record) and the FDNY Grappling Team, where he trains and prepares future firefighters. Whether he's battling in the ring, grappling in the cage, carrying patients down countless flights of stairs during emergency medical calls or extinguishing blazing infernos, one truth remains-breath matters. In short, if you can breathe, everything is okay. If you can't, then nothing else matters. This principle has captivated Danny so much that it inspired him to become a Certified Breath Coach under the tutelage of Dr. Belisa Vranich, a world renowned clinical psychologist who has coached everyone from Special Ops Military to professional athletes. Danny, is a certified Wim Hof instructor and Group Fitness Instructor. He is also passionate about the benefits of cold exposure. Like his father, Danny believes in the power of service and leaving this world just a little bit nicer than how he found it. In today's episode, Danny and I discuss all things related to cold plunge and breath work. Danny explains that cold plunge is a therapeutic method of activating the stress response and finding comfort in discomfort. He discusses the health benefits of cold plunging, including reducing inflammatory proteins and increasing motivating hormones like dopamine. Tune in now to learn more!
