STRONG LIFE WITH KENDRA JARRATT

Kendra Jarratt

My mission is to help women change the way we see aging, and my purpose is to live this out myself setting the example for my friends, clients, and family for generations to come. As a 51-year-old nutrition, strength, and behavior change coach, I have developed many strategies with my clients over the years to help them reach their goals. It always starts with changing the way we think, adopting a spirit ready to learn, followed by a willingness to change. No meal plan or ”diet” can get someone to really change, but I’ve seen people do amazing things when they fully commit to a lifestyle shift over time. I have coached and supported thousands of people over the years who have finally embraced the lifestyle that ultimately got them to their goals. I’ve seen lives and families transformed because one person decided to get ahold of their health. I will share all the success stories, and ways to build muscle and lose body fat (all the good stuff you want to know), but also provide the reality of what it takes to really have what you want. This isn’t about food and exercises only, this is about falling in love with the process and lifestyle. In this podcast, I will talk with experts and peers in the health and fitness industry (and outside of the industry) to provide actionable information you can apply to your life now, strategies for changing the way you think, and an opportunity to follow along and simply be inspired.

    Making Sense of Hormones, Nutrition & Behavior in Midlife | Dr. Joey Munoz

    Navigating Menopause, Cortisol, and Better Health with Dr. Joey In this episode, Kendra sits down with Dr. Joey to cut through the noise around menopause, hormones, cortisol, and nutrition. They unpack what actually matters for body composition and health, why so many popular claims are oversimplified, and how to focus on sustainable habits that work in real life. Key topics How estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones affect body composition Why cortisol is often misunderstood and does not directly cause fat gain The difference between acute stress and chronic stress Why energy balance still matters, even during menopause How to think about caffeine, sleep, and training timing Food quality, whole foods, and why “organic” is not the same as “healthy” Myths around seed oils, artificial sweeteners, and “cortisol belly” Why behavior change matters more than chasing perfect rules Practical strategies for night snacking, cravings, and consistency The role of genetics, environment, and personal agency in weight loss Why women in midlife don’t need a “female-specific” diet The value of focusing on principles instead of trends Guest takeaway Dr. Joey’s core message is simple: you can’t control everything, but you can control a lot. The best results come from focusing on the basics, staying consistent, and using strategies that fit your actual life.

    Womens Fitness & Hormone Expert | Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple

    To find Dr. Lauren: https://www.instagram.com/drlaurencs1/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlaurencs/ https://www.instagram.com/massresearchreview/?hl=en Overview of My Conversation with Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple We had a really thoughtful conversation centered less on specific training prescriptions and more on the philosophy of women’s fitness and how women make decisions about training. Key themes: • Women’s hormones and training: We discussed the current conversation around female hormones and exercise and the importance of separating evidence from marketing and oversimplification. While hormonal fluctuations can matter in certain contexts, the impact is often overstated in mainstream fitness messaging. • What actually works for women: The conversation emphasized that foundational training principles still matter most: progressive overload, recovery, consistency, nutrition, adequate energy intake, and individualized programming over chasing “female specific hacks.” • Helpful vs. unhelpful research: We talked about where exercise research for women has historically fallen short and how interpretation can become distorted. There was discussion around being cautious of conclusions drawn from limited studies, overgeneralized cycle phase recommendations, and protocol driven content that lacks real world applicability. • How women should think about training: Rather than constantly adjusting training based on hormones alone, women may benefit from focusing on long term adaptation, building body awareness, and creating flexible systems that allow for performance, recovery, and sustainability. • Fitness philosophy over protocols: A major takeaway was shifting attention away from searching for the perfect protocol and toward understanding principles. The discussion encouraged women to think critically, question absolutes, and avoid unnecessary complexity. For specific training protocols and deeper dives into implementation, listen to her appearances on Huberman Lab and her own podcast content where she breaks down the evidence in more detail.
