  1. Episode 1

    How longevity lifestyles brought me back to life after burnout and why I levelled up to get a lean body

    PhD scientist addicted to work, drinking too much and driven by anxiety, I had ALL the bad habits. At 35, I woke up to the irony of working in the lab on an anti-aging treatment, all the while aging faster because of my lifestyle. I quit lying, quit drinking, quit smoking, quit eating sugar. But it was too late and my career in research ended in a burn out. Deep in the science of aging, focused on meaning and used longevity lifestyles to bring myself back to life. I felt better than ever: new peaks in my mental capacity, high and stable energy all day, I felt unstoppable. All thanks to turning my habits around. I found a new path, helping others. A lot of life happened. I got my functional health coach certification, started a business, had 2 kids,… Only to find myself fat and getting weaker. While my baby was in the hospital, I knew I had to level up my longevity game by creating the habits to get a strong and lean body.  I didn’t wait for her to get out of the hospital, I went to work. Through my experience in research and in life, I have learned that prevention is better than medication. It has become my life mission to offer people a step-by-step method to help them create life-giving habits and make it stupid-easy for them. I invite you to come listen to my story today, not just so you know who’s behind the mic, but also so that you see I am someone just like you. If I overcame drinking, smoking, a sugar dependence, overworking, anxiety, depression and loneliness, so can you. You are capable of so much more.   Ready to take action?

    Three must-know numbers for smarter weight-loss over 40: burn fat, power up work and focus on longevity

    If you measure the wrong thing, you will do the wrong thing. In the 90s, Gordon Bethune saved Continental airlines from bankruptcy with this principle. The airline was tanking and they put all their effort in the goal to increase profitability. In order to do that, the airline was focused on measuring the cost of different operations in order to cut down. When Bethune took over, he changed the metrics to measure from cost of operations, to metrics related to customer satisfaction such as number of luggage lost, number of complaints and on-time arrival. With this shift, Bethune brought continental from the brink of bankruptcy to being the top leading airline. From worst to first, simply by looking at the right metrics. Same goal, different metrics, opposite outcomes. What if your ability to turn your health around depended simply on shifting what you're tracking? Today, I am giving you the 3 metrics that predict your longevity: how long and how well you live, 3 key performance indicators for your health that YOU and ANYONE can measure, without a prescription. Three numbers to track over 40 to focus on the right things to burn fat, target belly fat and build muscle. Three key number that will help you live longer and get more out of life. Not only can you measure these 3 numbers that truly matter for your health without a prescription and at low cost, but you can also improve everyone of them with simple habits. Getting these 3 KPIs will revolutionize the way you approach your weight loss in your 40s and yield the best return on your time. Forget weight loss. Your body weight does not tell you anything about how you are doing. Instead, start using these 3 KPIs on your dashboard for momentum in your body transformation. My longevity dashboard includes these 3 must-know numbers: KPI #1 – Fitness level measured by VO2 max  KPI #2 - Body composition: muscle mass, body fat, visceral belly fat  KPI #3 – Muscle strength  Listen to this episode to find out how tracking these 3 numbers will not only produce better results for your body transformation, but also make it a lot more exciting than weight loss. Episodes # 7, 8 and 9 will give you all the details on how these metrics show up in your life and what to do about it. Ready to take action?

    Exhausted and out of breath over 40? How VO2 max is the key metric to boost energy, supercharge work & family and live longer.

    If you’re over 40, huffing and puffing while going up the stairs, you’re out of breath walking up the hills or you don’t have as much in the tank as you used to, this episode has the key number you need to track. You've noticed that you no longer have the energy for your family after a work day, and you miss being able to do fun things together. Before you write this off to the fact that you’re getting older, and give up on living to the full, let me tell you about the number you can track that will change the game. Because this isn’t just a marker more powerful than knowing your cholesterol level, it is also easy to improve so you can recover your stamina. This number is VO2 max: the metric of life. VO2 max is a measure of our overall fitness. It tells us how well our engine is running so it can carry us for longer. VO2 max is directly correlated with longevity. A high VO2 max also means you can burn more calories, and enhances fat oxidation, directly targeting visceral belly fat. Tracking and improving your VO2 max boosts metabolism and helps burn stubborn fat. Improving  VO2 max adds days to your life and energy to your days. Which means you get more out of life. Since improving my VO2 max from top 25 to top 6% for women my age, I have more energy than the moms who are 10 years younger than me! In this episode, you will hear 5 reasons why VO2 max is the metric of life Signs that your VO2 max may be declining and that it’s time to measure it How to measure it How you can improve your VO2 max in just 15 minutes per week to live longer and get more out of life. Investing in our fitness makes the difference between becoming a burden and growing in impact as we age. Which one will you choose?   **** Notes to perform the Cooper test to measure VO2 max: Measure the distance ran in 12 minutes, then use the formula: In Kilometers: VO2max = (22.351 x kilometers) - 11.288 In Miles: VO2max = (35.97 x miles) - 11.29 After you complete the test, you can compare your results to the norms and recommendations for your age and gender. ****   🎗️Grab a coaching session calendly.com/jihanefarrell/belly-busting-session 📏 Get your data: Get 10% off your body composition scale using https://renpho.com/discount/DRJIHANE?ref=lxnrxtkq 🤝 Curious to see if the 12-week program is for you?
