Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster are back with health coach and influencer Jenny Fisher for Episode 3 in our four-part wellness series — and this one will get you moving!

In this powerful conversation, Jenny breaks down the role of fitness in reaching your health goals and shows how movement is medicine for your mind, body, and longevity. From overcoming gym intimidation to building strength that lasts a lifetime, this episode will help you rethink what it means to move with purpose.

💪 Key Takeaways:

• Start where you are. You don’t need a gym membership — walking, dancing, or joining a fun class can kickstart your journey.

• Strength training = longevity. Building skeletal muscle boosts metabolism, hormone balance, and protects against bone loss.

• You won’t “get bulky.” Muscle supports fat loss, better blood sugar control, and overall vitality.

• Progressive overload works. Lifting heavy (safely) builds lean muscle and revs your metabolism long after your workout.

• Movement heals. Daily walks improve heart health, lower stress, and even help prevent dementia.

• Accountability matters. A coach, friend, or app can help you stay consistent and confident.

• Jenny’s approach to fitness isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up, staying consistent, and celebrating the small wins that create lasting change.

🏋️‍♀️ Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to reignite your workout routine, this episode will leave you inspired to build strength for life — not just for looks.

This week, it’s all about fuel — learning how to nourish your body with the right foods, without the guilt, confusion, or crash diets. Jenny breaks down practical nutrition strategies that anyone can do, from understanding macros to mastering the art of balance and indulgence.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why food is more than calories — it’s fuel and medicine for your body.

• How to calculate simple calorie and protein goals using Jenny’s easy formulas.

• The power of protein for energy, muscle, and metabolism (and why 100g a day can change everything).

• How to build plates that include fiber, whole foods, and smart indulgences — no deprivation required.

• How to reduce added sugar without losing joy in eating.

• Why small, consistent steps (and Jenny’s “Two-in-a-Row Rule”) lead to lasting success.

Jenny reminds us that eating well doesn’t have to be overwhelming — it’s about making mindful choices, honoring your body, and enjoying the process.

🥗 Whether you’re learning to track macros, eat cleaner, or simply drink more water, this episode will leave you feeling inspired and equipped to fuel your best life.

Together, they discuss why sleep is the real superpower, how to reset your circadian rhythm with morning sunlight, and how small daily movements and stress-management practices can improve energy, metabolism, and longevity.

💡 Key takeaways:

• Morning sunlight and consistent routines help reset your body’s natural rhythms.
• Simple movement — even ten squats an hour — can offset a sedentary job.
• Managing stress doesn’t have to be complicated: start with 3-minute meditations, grace for yourself, and realistic goals.
