This week I’m joined by my good friend and fellow coach, Ruth MacFit, for a chat about all things midlife health and fitness. We catch up on life, talk routines, and dive into some of the brilliant questions you sent in on Instagram.
Inside, we cover:
✔️ How to manage a big appetite (even if you’re already eating protein & fibre)
✔️ Fasted workouts — good, bad, or just personal preference?
✔️ Creatine for women in midlife — muscle, bone, and cognitive benefits
✔️ What to do about perimenopausal tendonitis (when HRT & physio don’t seem enough)
✔️ Mindset tips for when motivation dips
✔️ How to navigate hotel meals and long workdays when travelling for work
✔️ Diastasis recti in midlife — what it is, how to spot it, and first steps
It’s a very real and down-to-earth conversation — packed with practical advice, laughs, and a reminder that you’re not alone in facing these challenges.
