    How Do I Get My Fam on Board with a Healthy Lifestyle? (& What to Do if You Can't)

    We're tryin it again! There was a file error in the original release of this podcast, so we rerecorded it, baby! ENJOY!   In this episode of the Women’s Fitness and Health Revolution Podcast, Kinsey takes on a big question so many women ask: How do I get my family to join me in my healthy lifestyle?   Whether it’s workouts, food choices, or trading screen time for more movement, it can feel isolating and overwhelming when your loved ones aren’t moving in the same direction. Kinsey shares her own journey, from early struggles to build consistency to eventually inspiring her own family, and offers perspective on why change looks different for everyone. She lays out practical strategies for making meals that work for the whole household, ways to invite family members into movement without pressure, and how to model the behaviors you want to see without nagging or burnout. And if your family still isn’t ready? Kinsey gives you tools for staying motivated, finding support outside your home, and surrounding yourself with people who share your goals—so you can keep showing up for yourself no matter what. This episode is about encouragement, perspective, and a little bit of tough love: because while we can’t control anyone else’s choices, we can absolutely create an environment that supports our own growth and sets the stage for those around us to join when they’re ready.   Resources: Fit After 40 Newsletter Fit After 40: Small-Group Personal Training Waitlist (Online & in person Twin Cities) 6 Easy Tricks for Getting More Protein  Hacks to Make Eating Veggies Suck Less

    Pregnancy to Perimenopause: How Use Your Cycle to Optimize Your Health

    In this episode of the Women’s Fitness and Health Revolution Podcast, we talk menstrual cycle—what’s really happening in our bodies, why it matters, and how understanding it sets us up for success in perimenopause and beyond.

    The Ugly Truth of Diet Culture — From GLP-1s to Fad Diets and 30-Day Weight Loss Programs

    In this episode of The Women’s Fitness and Health Revolution Podcast, Kinsey pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion-dollar diet industry and its relentless push for women to shrink themselves at the expense of their long-term health. From fad diets and rapid weight-loss programs to the booming popularity of GLP-1 medications, she unpacks the hidden costs of chasing “quick fixes”—including muscle loss, metabolic damage, and the erosion of self-worth. Kinsey explains why the scale is a misleading measure of success, why diet culture thrives on keeping women stuck in cycles of “failure,” and how we can break free by focusing on strength, muscle, and sustainable habits. You’ll learn: Why traditional weight loss methods fail 80–95% of the time The shocking muscle loss linked to GLP-1 drugs and crash diets How diet culture manipulates women’s insecurities to keep its $427.5 billion machine running Evidence-based ways to protect your muscle, metabolism, and overall health as you age This isn’t just a takedown of diets—it’s a call to revolutionize the way we think about health.

    Weighted vests are all over the internet right now—hailed by some as the holy grail of menopausal fitness and dismissed by others as a dangerous gimmick. So what’s the truth?   In this episode, I dive into the research (spoiler: it’s a lot less flashy than Instagram claims) and give you my unfiltered hot take on whether weight vests are worth your time—or just another piece of equipment destined for the garage. We’ll cover: What the science really says about vests and bone density Whether they improve cardiovascular health (or just make you sweaty) Surprising benefits like balance, posture, and leg power Who might genuinely benefit from a vest—and who should skip it Why strength training still reigns supreme for bone health and aging well If you’re weight-vest curious, I’ll help you decide whether it’s a tool worth adding to your routine—or one you can happily pass on. 🎧 Tune in for the full breakdown, my own experience walking the lake with Argo in a vest, and why sometimes the feeling of getting stronger matters just as much as the science.   Research and Resources: Coach Kinsey's Weight Vest Adjustable Weight Vest Under-Desk Treadmill FIT AFTER 40 Small-Group Personal Training Waitlist Hot Take On Under-Desk Treadmills Long-term Exercise Using Weighted Vests Prevents Hip Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Women  Quality of Life Research Weighted Vest Use or Resistance Exercise to Offset Weight Loss–Associated Bone Loss in Older Adults JAMA Network Randomized Clinical Trial Metabolic Costs of Walking with Weighted Vests CDC Fall Facts
