In this episode, we explore why lasting fitness results don’t come from willpower or forcing change (because that’s rarely sustainable) but from inner resolution.

As we move into a new year, I share how resolving inner conflict, building self-trust, and approaching movement with curiosity can completely change the way we experience fitness. I talk about why most resolutions fail, how giving yourself time and grace creates real consistency, and why skill-based goals and simplicity matter more than quick fixes.

I also share personal reflections from my own journey with knee rehab, strength training, and lifestyle changes—and how reconnecting with my body led to real change.

If you’re ready to approach fitness in a way that feels supportive, grounded, and aligned, this episode will invite you to slow down, tune in, and begin again—without all the pressure.

Knee pain isn’t caused by “getting older”, it’s caused by how our tendons respond to stress, stagnancy, and the way we move. In this episode, I break down the science of tendon ability, why midlife knees often feel stiff or achy, and how slow, intentional strength work can rebuild resilience at any age. You’ll learn practical steps, clear starting points, and the approach I use to help runners and my clients feel strong again.

Allison dives into one of the most misunderstood topics in midlife health — body recomposition.

If you’ve ever wondered why your body feels different after 40, even when you’re eating well and staying active, you love this episode. Allison breaks down what body recomposition really means, why it can feel harder during perimenopause and menopause, and what actually works to build lean muscle and lose fat—without restriction or burnout.

She also shares her personal experience with recalibrating her fitness, nutrition and mindset during menopause—what she feared might happen, what really happened, and how small, intentional shifts led to big results in energy, digestion, and body composition.

You’ll learn:

• What body recomposition is and how to approach it after 40
• The key nutrition principles that support strength, metabolism, and recovery
• How to approach your strength training to meet yourself where you're at rather than just "lifting heavy".
• How to use emotional awareness and body connection to move through resistance
• Why emotional intelligence and sleep are essential for sustainable results

This episode is about more than just changing your body—it’s about reconnecting with it. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how to work with your body in midlife, not against it.
