    How to Be in the Best Shape at Any Age with Fiona Lambert

    “It's never too late, and you're never too old to do anything.” –Fiona Lambert We don’t have to become invisible as we age. We don’t have to gain weight, lose fitness, slow down or stall out. What if you could be in the best shape of your life at 60? Fiona Lambert, author of Invincible Not Invisible, set herself that goal just nine weeks before turning 60. I love her energy and the belief that it’s not too late and you aren’t too old. I got inspired to transform my health again before my 50th birthday. Fiona believes in having a purpose driving you and 21 day habit resets. And like we do in FLOW, she believes in 90-day goals and lifestyle changes made up of consistent small changes. Can’t imagine changing your diet or finding time to exercise? Listen in for how she did it — and check out our Doable Changes to start your own wellness shift at any age. We talk about:  Breaking stereotypes about our ideas of wellness, fitness, and what’s happening in our bodies as we ageHaving a purpose and deadline for an end goalThe power of HIIT training for transforming your body and fitness — even when you don’t have a lot of timeThe challenges of making a change like giving up sugar or alcohol — and how the challenge diminishes with time as it becomes your normShifting to more protein and less carbs as you age — and stocking your fridge with foods that fit your goalsFiona’s 5 Ps—Purpose, planning and preparation, perseverance, people to support you, and positivity ABOUT FIONA Just nine weeks before her 60th birthday, successful fashion businesswoman Fiona Lambert decided to get into the best shape of her life consciously exercising more and being mindful of her diet. By cutting out alcohol and eating more protein than carbohydrate, she lost weight, gained muscle, and more importantly, she was sleeping better, feeling confident and full of energy, laughing in the face of the common presumption that we slow down as we get older. Through Fiona’s personal story of being a senior executive at major UK fashion brands over 35 years, mothering two children, working up from a designer and going on to successfully transform  brands in the industry for years, she's a fearless entrepreneur and has now used her passion and energy to become a fitness idol and author.  Fiona’s new book, Invincible Not Invisible, proves you don't need to feel invisible in later life and shares her message that it is never too late to get into the best shape of your life. Drawing on her own experiences and business background, she provides practical insights, effective strategies, and actionable tips for anyone looking to achieve their best shape and reclaim their vitality, irrespective of age.

Change comes from action.  Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one.

    Feeling Good in Your Body with Sarah Haas

    “Health is a lifelong process. But when you start thinking, okay, if I loved my body, if I truly loved my body, how would I treat it?” –Sarah Haas A lot of times women raise their hand for weight loss, because it's how we've been conditioned to react to the health world, but what if we actually focused on health? So many of us have negative self-image. We’re used to zeroing on our perceived flaws, but what if we focused on how amazing our bodies are? What if we focused on the little shifts we can make that make us feel amazing? I’m diving into that  with Sarah Haas, integrative nutrition health coach, weight loss & diabetes expert, certified personal trainer, and speaker, who is taking a stand for women’s health. We talk about:  Taking stock of what you want the second half of your life to be likeCultivating the feeling of enoughness and love How we project ideas about weight and body image onto our kids … even if we don’t talk about itChanging out of a punish, restrict, deprive mindset to focus on what you need, protein, vitamins, rest, movement, down time … Making a 1% improvement a week adds up to 52% change in health over a yearFocusing on taking care of our bodies in perimenopause/menopause and pushing back on the idea that it’s all downhill from here ABOUT SARAH LINKS https://sarahhaaswellness.com/https://www.instagram.com/sarahhaaswellness/Boss Body podcast DOABLE CHANGES At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is how change happens. Often we feel like our actions have to be huge to match the bigness of our desires, but we have seen over and over and over again that the little things add up. Instead of going all in, in ways that are not sustainable, you can stack up a series of Doable Changes that build to that big change that you crave. This is the 1% change we talked about. Choose one Doable Change that really resonates with you this week and really make it part of your life.  Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation: CULTIVATE A FEELING OF ENOUGHNESS. Instead of trying to change yourself, start by loving yourself and feeling like you are enough. Start each day by repeating I am enough or another loving saying.Throughout the day ask yourself: I loved my body, if I truly loved my body, how would I treat it?MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU NEED. Too often when we think about health, we think of the things we can’t have or focus on things we have to push to do. Make a list of all the things you need to take care of your body. Here’s a start: protein, vegetables, movement, rest … keep going.FOCUS ON 1% IMPROVEMENT. Pick one thing from your list of what you need and focus on weaving it into your week. Remember, you aren’t aiming for perfection, just a 1% change. Maybe you add one more veggie to a meal or make sure you start your day with water or set a timer to take your supplements.

    Drive Your Own Health with Jillian Greaves

    “Being able to really prioritize yourself and your health is going to give you the ability to show up as your best self.” –Jillian Greaves Your body is waving the white flag — fatigue, digestive issues, thinning hair, anxiety … Are you paying attention? You wouldn’t be the only one too busy taking care of kids and parents and a business to tend to your own health. But it’s time to shift our priorities. Functional Dietitian and Women's health specialist Jillian Greaves explains small, slow sustainable changes can have ripple effects — and why it’s essential for entrepreneurs to prioritize health. We start with food. That doesn’t have to mean elimination diets or restrictive plans. Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated, which is important when you feel like you can’t do one more thing. And the good news is, you’ll start to notice some differences in energy and mood — and maybe other symptoms — pretty quickly. We talk about:  Make slow, deliberate but sustainable changes based on the why, not simply on suppressing symptomsStarting with food, especially eating for blood sugar regulation, including breakfast ideasEliminating decision fatigue around eating without losing joyThe effects of chronic stress in our own lives and in the world around usCreating pockets for restoration of your nervous systemChanges in perimenopause being one more way your body is talking that you should listen to ABOUT JILLIAN Jillian Greaves is a Functional Dietitian and Women's health specialist, the owner of the private practice Jillian Greaves Functional Nutrition & Wellness, and the creator of the PCOS Root Reversal Program.

Notice your mood or anxiety. Notice changes in your skin, hair, weight. Not to judge, just for information.START WITH BREAKFAST. Start your day with a breakfast that includes some protein (and ideally some veggies). Eating to maintain balanced blood sugar starts in the morning and can affect your mood and energy.

    The Surprising Role of Your Pelvic Floor with Tanya Goodrich

    “Caring about your pelvic floor has big impacts later on.” –Tanya Goodrich What if we got it all wrong with kegels? A lot of us don’t know a whole lot about what our pelvic floor even is, but we’ve been told to do kegels. Tanya Goodrich, PT and women’s pelvic health specialist, clears up what the pelvic floor is, why it’s so important, and why kegels might not be what you need. (Oh, and they call them blueberries now.) The pelvic floor is the group of muscles that sling between your pubic bone and your tailbone, like a hammock. And what a lot of people don’t realize is that your pelvic floor is part of your core. A lot of the things that we’ve been told we just have to accept — like leaking a little after having kids — is common, but not normal. You don’t have to just take it. We talk about:  How to retrain your bladder if you have to pee all the time — and how frequently you should be goingConsidering hormone therapy and getting a healthcare team that is up to date on current menopause studies How stress affects the pelvic floor and why somebody might need to loosen their pelvic floorWhy so much change happens in the pelvic floor during perimenopause/menopauseThe connection between constipation and the pelvic floor and 4 steps to get you pooping: hot beverage in the morning (bonus for coffee), big circle massage starting at your right hip bone, a heat pack, and walking; and relaxing instead of pushingHow to warm up for good sex ABOUT TANYA Tanya Goodrich, PT, DPT, a distinguished figure in women’s pelvic health, brings over 15 years of experience to her practice and advocacy efforts. With a background in dance from the California Institute of the Arts and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of California, San Francisco, she possesses a unique blend of expertise. As the founder of Healthy Pelvis Physical Therapy, Tanya specializes in addressing a wide range of pelvic health issues, including those related to pregnancy, postpartum care, menopause, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and sexual health. She extends her influence beyond clinical practice, serving as a recognized speaker on these topics and providing guidance to organizations like Evernow, focused on menopause care, and Blossom Birth and Family, a nonprofit supporting women and families in the Bay Area. Tanya is also a member of the medical board for Hot Pause Health, a fast-growing community dedicated to empowering women through their peri/menopause journeys. In this role, she contributes her expertise to advancing education and support for women navigating this transformative stage of life.

    Behind the Scenes of My Latest Health Goals

    What if I could get over all the little things that keep holding me back and really be the healthiest version of myself by my 50th birthday? –Mia I’m pretty health focused. In fact Plan Simple started when I was 33 with three young kids and a business .. and I wasn’t the healthiest version of myself. There was a day I couldn’t try to power through on coffee any more. I started with yoga. I changed my food — went raw vegan (without even knowing what kale was). I kept it simple and self-loving and I stuck with it. My wellness journey unfolded from there. But then in January I found sickness just pummelling our family. And I realized that I’m doing what I’ve been doing for 15 years. My 50-year-old body is different than my 33-year-old body. I’ve been coasting. It’s time to stop relying on an old version of me to make decisions for now and future me. What would it look like to be the healthiest version of me when I turn 50? Sometimes we stick with what we are doing because it’s easier than going all in on something new. But this isn’t a whim or a “should” goal. I truly want to feel amazing — and have energy to show up my best for my clients and my family. Three things happened:  I’ve gained about 45 lbs, which I attributed to perimenopause. I found my feet hurt so much I almost couldn’t walk when I first got up in the morning. I went to the doctor for an ear problem, and they told me I needed surgery. I knew my body was not in good shape for surgery. What if I could heal my ear another way? Or what if I could make myself ready for surgery? And at the same time, my kids are growing and I'm loving seeing their interests — and I want to be healthy and mobile to be able to visit them wherever they are in the world. It’s time for change. I believe that all of us have our next doable step. That means you can start wherever you are — and that wherever you are there is a next step. I’ve been coasting when it comes to health for a while now, and I can’t anymore. Here are of the things I’m doing: Focus on Food — that means meal planning and doing my friend Tess’s program, it means rethinking sugar and proteinRethink Exercise — I got out of my usual routine and it’s been hard getting back for physical and emotional reasons. I’m trying new things and pushing — with loving intent — what I think I can do. Add More Rest and Mediation— I can work my body, but I also need rest. I’m trying more healing mediations and scheduling more time for them. Remember Hydration and Supplements. Sometimes we just need to come back to what we know we need. This doesn’t just happen. We need to decide. We need to schedule. We need boundaries. And we need support (I’m putting my team together). I’m working on all of it this month, and I hope you’ll try it too — whatever you need for your healthiest self. What would happen if you felt really good right now?
