    If you have experienced results from exercise that are nothing like you want, this episode intends to help explain why certain exercise intensities work for you right now and others that have previously may not.

    What I want to make clear is… you want intensity and effort level matters for success long term. But short term sometimes you have to pivot.

    Certain workouts that once gave results may suddenly stop working during midlife. 

    Let’s dive into the connection between cortisol, exercise intensity, recovery, hormones, blood sugar, and stress—and why walking, recovery, and smarter training may actually deliver better results than constantly pushing harder.

    This conversation is packed with empowering reminders that fitness after 50 should support your energy, metabolism, sleep, and quality of life—not drain them. 

    By the end of this episode, you’ll better understand how you can work with your body instead of against them, especially knowing the exercise intensities that work for you.

    Fitness is a vital sign and this episode may completely change how you think about aging after 40.

    If you’re listening carefully, we don’t have a fat problem: we have a muscle problem. With greater strength, power, VO2 max entering menopause women have fewer vasomotor issues and less chance of developing dementia and heart disease. Until fitness is a vital sign, exercise may still feel optional. And… the exercise absolutely is better than nothing but if you want it to really be doing the most good, you measure if it’s working. Because now more than ever, fitness is a vital sign.

    A woman in our community recently shared that she was thrilled with the results she was experiencing in the program. It was impressive, and honestly a surprise, even to me. She’d lost like 11 lbs and significant inches. 

    She explained just before joining she had done a program built around HIIT. No doubt it was promised as a weight loss program. Because HIIT is supposed to burn fat. Visceral belly fat in fact, the worst kind. Clearly not in this case. 

    Not to scare you off from HIIT. There is a right time for it. But this episode highlights when and why so much of what you “hear” or are sold just may not work for you! 

    Influencers gonna influence. They share what works for them, often what they’ve heard, not studied, applied and tested on hundreds or thousands of people just like you, living real life with real life obligations.

    The hidden cost of diet culture is showing up in ways many women in midlife!

    Never expected—low energy, stubborn weight changes, poor recovery, burnout, hormone disruption, and feeling frustrated despite “doing everything right.”

    If you’ve been exercising harder, eating less, and still feeling exhausted or frustrated with your body, this episode will hit home fast.

    We unpack how chronic dieting, underfueling, and overtraining quietly impact metabolism, bone health, hormones, and confidence during menopause and beyond. You’ll learn why recovery is no longer optional after 40, how low energy availability may be sabotaging your results, and why the old “eat less, move more” advice can backfire in midlife. 

    This conversation exposes the hidden cost of diet culture and offers a smarter, healthier path forward for active women who want strength, energy, and longevity.

    You’re doing all the things. 

    They don’t work. 

    You’ve changed things. 

    That doesn’t work either. 

    If it seems you’re going through a revolving door of symptoms and trying to juggle responses but failing, this is for you. 

    It’s not just that exercise needs change. 

    Periodically, by the way. 

    Every quarter during perimenopause, or at least bi-annually if you’re experiencing significant changes, you have to look closely at whether your exercise is causing inflammation or supporting muscle that will help you deal with it. It doesn’t matter if you’re lifting, you can still be in a moment of significant storm that results in your inflammation being up when recovery isn’t keeping up. 

    We discuss the ways women doing all the things can still fail you if you’re not getting the foundation you need at the place you need it. We discuss cellular health, liver, detox and the key part these play in whether your lifting, walking and intervals will work. 

    If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start seeing results, this conversation will change how you approach doing all the things.


    My Guest:

    As Co-Owner and Chief Brand Officer of BodyBio, Jess Kane Berman leads brand strategy, education, and global growth, shaping the company’s voice at the intersection of cellular health, environmental wellness, and evidence-based medicine.

    Jess blends science-backed insights with practical application, empowering women to move away from doing more and toward doing what’s right for them. Passionate about cutting through confusion, she helps women simplify their approach to fitness, nutrition, and overall health so they can feel stronger, energized, and back in control.


    Questions We Answer in This Episode:

    • [00:04:21] Why are so many women doing all the things but still not seeing results?
    • [00:20:02] How does inflammation affect fat loss, muscle, and overall health?
    • [00:07:02] How exactly does phosphatidylcholine (PC) work in the body? How long does it take before someone actually feels results?
    • [00:09:55] Are women really just “wasting money” on supplements that aren’t working?
    • [00:16:11] Are coaches and trainers seeing better results when addressing cellular health?
    • [00:37:15] What is the most important advice for women who feel stuck and frustrated?
