On today’s episode I’m sharing some end-of-the year thoughts that I hope speak to you and give you inspiration to finish the year strong with hope and excitement for 2025.   This will be my last episode for 2024!  I’m taking these next 6 weeks to enjoy a slower pace in my days, be intentional with my time, rest, embrace and savor my family & friends, and seek the Lord’s wisdom and guidance for the new year and what He has for me.   I encourage you to do the same in whatever capacity you’re able to do so.  Make memories, spend time with your people, bring joy to others, take care of yourself through nutrition and fitness, and soak in this amazing Thanksgiving and Christmas season.  Don’t allow the stress and chaotic pace & troubles of the world dictate your schedule or take over your mindset.   Put your phones down and be present where you’re at.  You’ll never look back and regret the time you took to rejuvenate, rest, and make memories with family and friends.   May the Lord bless you and your family during this Holiday season.  I’m praying for you as you end the year strong and go into 2025 with excitement, anticipation, and joy for all that is to come.     I’ll see you in 2025!  Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.     Love y’all Carla   JOIN MY FACEBOOK GROUP HERE   CONNECT WITH CARLA: INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK YOUTUBE LINKTREE WEBSITE   Would you like to chat more about my health coaching programs?  Email me for a consultation call at: carla@carlaallen.com   Interested in being featured as a guest?

On today’s episode I’m talking about ways that I fill my cup.  This means the ways that I fill that need and innate desire in my life for friendship and community with other women.  I’ll share some of the things that I’m doing and offer suggestions on how you too can get involved or start your own community.   We are made to do life together.  Women need other women.  We need close friendships, safe spaces to laugh and share, and other women that are more interested in cheering us on rather than tearing us down.    Women out there need you!  If you’ve felt a nudge to get involved in a group or start your own, I pray that this episode speaks directly to your heart.     Share this podcast with women that want to hear this message too!  Life is so much better together, so let’s be the one to get that started in our communities.   I appreciate you all for listening and sharing!

Today I’m chatting with Dr. Mary Pardee, a Naturopathic Medical Doctor and a Certified Functional Medicine Doctor specializing in preventative medicine and longevity.  Dr. Mary is the founder of “Modrn Med,” a medical practice that provides medical and health services to patients via in-person consults as well as telemedicine. Her primary focus is on closing the healthspan-lifespan gap, extending lifespan (how long you live); while enhancing healthspan (how well you live).    I had such a great conversation with Dr. Mary that will help you get clarity on so many important health topics including what lab tests you should order and all things involving your gut health, longevity, and preventative care.   Here are a few of the topics we discuss:   *Recommended Lab Tests for Women *Why “microbiome testing”/ “comprehensive stool testing” is useless. *What causes bloating?  *What is the gut brain connection and why is it important? * *How our thoughts and behaviors can worsen or improve functional gastrointestinal symptoms (IBS)   CONNECT WITH DR.

On today’s episode, I’m talking about what my “superpower” is.  It might not be what you think it would be.  It’s my non-negotiable every, single day.  My superpower is PRAYER.  Don’t tune out on me if this is not your thing.  Give it a chance.  I’d love for you to listen to this and see if my stories and experiences can help change your mind.   The power of prayer is an incredible thing and not something you just do at meal time thanking God for your food, or a quick prayer in the morning and then you’re done for the day.  Prayer is a conversation that you can engage in all day long.   I believe that if you are intentional about prayer and incorporate it into your daily rhythms, your days will be filled with so much more joy, hope, and gratitude.  Your desire to make others feel valued, loved, and seen will increase and become a part of who you are as you ask God daily to open doors and give you opportunities everyday to make someone’s life better.   This episode is very near and dear to my heart and my prayer is that it will touch you deeply and cause you to incorporate prayer into your daily routine.     Love y’all, Carla   Don’t forget to share this with your friends & family!  Please be sure to rate, review, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.   Click here for more Bible verses: CARLA’S BIBLE VERSES:   CONNECT WITH CARLA: INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK YOUTUBE LINKTREE WEBSITE   Would you like to chat more about my health coaching programs?  Email me for a free consultation call at: carla@carlaallen.com   Interested in being featured as a guest?

On today’s episode, I’m talking about mindset and how much mindset matters especially in what you say and speak over yourself.  Mindset influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation. It means that what you believe about yourself impacts your success or failure. Mindsets can influence how people behave in a wide range of situations in life from health to business to relationships and to how you handle circumstances that come up in your everyday life.   Positive thinking is so important because it can have a huge impact on both your physical and mental well-being. People who maintain a more positive outlook on life, believe in themselves, and speak positive words over themselves cope better with stress, have better immunity, improved relationships, and have a lower risk of illnesses.   This is such an important topic to me that I wanted to share some key takeaways that you can start now to help improve your mindset.  Enjoy!   Love y’all, Carla   Don’t forget to share this with your friends & family!  Please be sure to rate, review, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.   CONNECT WITH CARLA: Your Age Is Not Your Cage Instagram Your Age Is Not Your Cage Facebook Your Age Is Not Your Cage YouTube Your Age Is Not Your Cage Linktree Carla Allen's Website   Would you like to chat more about my health coaching programs?  Email me for a free consultation call at: carla@carlaallen.com   Interested in being featured as a guest?

Even if you’re not in your 40’s+ yet, this episode is still for you!   Who says strength training is just for the young? I love lifting weights!  I love feeling stronger!  I’m so passionate about advocating for the transformative power of strength training, especially for women over 40. It’s truly a vital part of maintaining health and vitality, boosting metabolism, and improving mental well-being.  Age shouldn’t stop you! Age is just a number. As most of you who have listened know, I am 59 and will be 60 in November.  I’ve never been more active and healthy than I am now! . So, it’s time to dust off those dumbbells or get to the gym and embrace strength training. Don’t let age be the cage that keeps you from achieving your potential! Remember, strength training isn’t just about the muscles; it’s the key to a healthier, happier life after 40 and beyond.   With the many benefits strength training has to offer, there’s no reason not to make it a part of your routine. Together, let’s redefine fitness over 40, change the world’s narrative about aging, and prove that age isn’t a boundary, but a launchpad for our best selves!     Remember, your age is not your cage!   Love y’all, Carla    Don’t forget to share with your family & friends!  Please take a few mins to give a rate and a review and subscribe to my YouTube channel.       Download the 1st Phorm App   Related episodes: EP45: Gym Intimidation EP46: Why is it so hard to get healthy?

On today’s “Summer Short Solo,” I’m talking about why we have the tendency to want to get healthier, but doing the work to actually get healthier eludes us.  But WHY is it so difficult, especially when it comes to something as important as our health and moving our bodies?   I’m going to help you break this down and get at the root cause of why so many of us find adding physical activity to our daily routine so difficult.  Until we deal with our underlying thoughts and experiences holding us back, we won’t take that step forward and we won’t see progress. Mind, Body, Spirit are all equally as important.   Join me as I chat through tangible ways that you can help overcome these challenges and incorporate movement into your daily routine.  Remember:  DISCIPLINE + CONSISTENCY + COMMITMENT =  HEALTHY HABITS THAT LEAD TO REGULAR RHYTHMS AND A SUSTAINABLE, HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.   Let’s dig into this quick episode packed with juicy nuggets to educate and empower you to become your own best health advocate!   Love y’all Carla Other Episodes to Listen to: EP9 Why I Do What I Do EP18 Answering Your Questions EP39 Women Actively & Powerfully Aging EP45 Gym Intimidation CONNECT WITH CARLA: Your Age Is Not Your Cage Instagram Your Age Is Not Your Cage Facebook Your Age Is Not Your Cage YouTube Your Age Is Not Your Cage Linktree Carla Allen's Website   Did you know I’m a health & fitness coach?

Today’s guest is quickly going to become your very favorite lunch lady!  Hilary is a mother of 5 that healed her own chronic disease through the power of food and nutrition.  Hilary also took action and didn’t just sit back and watch as schools fed her kids processed garbage.  She said NO MORE and created an affordable, nutrient-dense meal program based on the ancestral diet anchored in the observations of Dr. Weston A. Price at her kid’s school.     This is how the School of Lunch was formed!  School of Lunch is a training academy and culinary consulting company. Hilary is also an author that documented her journey through the GAPS protocol in “The Heal Your Gut Cookbook.”     Modeling scratch-cooking, nutrient density, savory menus and strong connections with local food systems, the School of Lunch -Training Academy hosts culinary intensives and retreats, aimed at schools, chefs and individuals seeking to emulate Hilary’s well tested framework and values. School of Lunch has a retreat coming up on July 28-August 2nd. See link below.   A self-proclaimed “Lunch Leader,“ Hilary is dedicated to building a tribe of leaders to catalyze a cultural shift, with its focus on the future generations - our children. She is a steward of ancestral culinary practices and firm proponent of the overarching belief that food is medicine. Her work is both noble and critical in the face of a civilization overwhelmed by deficient diet trends, nutritional misinformation and she seeks to joyfully disrupt the trend of chronic illness in our children. Enjoy this amazing conversation with Hilary!   Links discussed: Casey Means, MD Calley Means Moms Across America Website Moms Across America Instagram Connect with Hilary Boynton on social media and sign up for The School of Lunch Training Academy: Instagram: School of Lunch Instagram: Hilary Boynton Facebook: Hilary Boynton Website: School of Lunch School of Lunch Training Academy CONNECT WITH CARLA: Your Age Is Not Your Cage Instagram Your Age Is Not Your Cage Facebook Your Age Is Not Your Cage YouTube Your Age Is Not Your Cage Linktree Carla's Website   Would you like to chat more about my health coaching programs?  Email me for a free consultation call at: carla@carlaallen.com   Interested in being featured as a guest?
