    What’s the difference between resistance training if you’re a beginner (or starting again) vs you’re an experienced lifter? 

    Resistance training for a beginner doesn’t have to mean sore muscles, heavy weights, or wondering if you’re doing it “right.” In fact, the smartest way to get stronger may be to slow down and learn the movement before you ever load it up.

    The question now is.. HOW?

    The noise in women's fitness has never been louder—and if you're wondering who to trust, you're not alone. 

    Every scroll seems to deliver a new expert, a new rule, or a new warning that contradicts the last one, leaving many women feeling more confused than confident. 

    Let’s cut through the hype to help you understand why these conflicting messages exist and how to evaluate them without getting pulled into the latest trend. You'll learn a practical way to separate evidence from opinion so you can make informed decisions that actually support your health, strength, and longevity. 

    Instead of adding to the noise in women's fitness, this conversation gives you the clarity and confidence to focus on what truly matters

    More exercise can backfire—especially if you're in perimenopause or postmenopause and wondering why the workouts that once worked now leave you sore, exhausted, or stuck. 

    In this re-release of one of our most talked-about episodes from January 2026, let’s freshen our minds on the science behind why recovery, not simply working harder, becomes the key to building strength after 50. 

    Estrogen influences your muscles, connective tissue, collagen, and energy production—and why those changes require a smarter training strategy. 

    If you've been questioning whether you're doing something wrong, this episode will remind you that your body isn't broken; it's simply asking for a different approach. 

    More exercise can backfire, but the right strategy can help you recover better, stay stronger, and keep doing what you love for years to come.

    How To Make 60 The New 20: Reverse Your Biological Age

    Other Episodes You Might Like:


    Resources:

    Reversing your biological age isn't about chasing youth—it's about giving your body the right conditions to become stronger, healthier, and more resilient at every age. 

    In this episode, Debra sits down with longevity expert Leslie Kenny to uncover how she transformed a devastating autoimmune diagnosis into a mission to optimize health and extend healthspan. 

    You'll discover why inflammation, muscle, stress, sleep, and immune health are deeply connected—and how small, consistent changes can create extraordinary results over time. 

    If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to improve your energy, strength, or future health, this conversation will challenge what you thought was possible. 

    Reverse your biological age by learning practical strategies that help your body work for you, not against you.


    My Guest:

    Leslie Kenny, an Oxford-based longevity expert and graduate of UC Berkeley, personally reversed diagnoses of lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and infertility, later giving birth naturally at the age of 43. Now 60, with a biological age of just 21, her remarkable recovery inspired her to dedicate her life to translating cutting-edge longevity science into accessible, evidence-based solutions for the public. Leslie went on to co-found the Oxford Longevity Project, a nonprofit devoted to educating and empowering individuals to age smarter through science-backed strategies. She also founded Oxford Healthspan, the company behind Primeadine®, a premium, food-derived spermidine supplement sustainably sourced from the longevity islands of Japan, where exceptional numbers of centenarians thrive.


    Questions We Answer in This Episode:

    • [00:04:59] You were told at 39 that you had three autoimmune diseases and only a few good years left. Can you take us back to that moment, and what was going through your mind?
    • [00:22:46] Many women in midlife are diagnosed with Hashimoto's without realizing it's an autoimmune condition. How do lifestyle factors contribute, and what should women know?
    • [00:27:17] What impact do lifestyle habits have on inflammation, autoimmune disease, and healthy aging?
    • [00:32:38] What role does spermidine play in healthy aging, and why has it become such an important area of longevity research?
    • [00:36:45] Can you get enough spermidine from food alone, or should women consider supplementation?
    • [00:41:01] Your biological age is dramatically younger than your chronological age. What does that actually mean in terms of how you feel day to day?
    • [00:43:15] Looking back, what do you wish more women understood earlier about protecting their health and aging well?

    Working harder stops working especially in midlife, when the strategies that once brought success can start working against you.

    Is struggle the price of success? It isn't about doing more, pushing harder, or sacrificing your happiness—it may actually be the opposite.

    Recovery, curiosity, self-compassion, and intentional growth are the real drivers of lasting health and high performance, especially for women in midlife. If you've been wondering why your old "push through it" mindset isn't delivering the results it once did, this conversation offers a refreshing new perspective.

    Discover why working harder stops working, and how embracing the way of excellence can help you age powerfully, train smarter, and thrive in every area of your life.


    Brad Stulberg is a researcher, performance coach, and best-selling author who helps people pursue sustainable excellence without sacrificing their well-being.

Through his work, Brad teaches practical strategies for achieving lasting success with purpose, resilience, and balance.


    Questions We Answer in This Episode:

    • [00:13:42] Many women have succeeded by pushing harder and doing more. What's the biggest mindset shift when that approach stops working in midlife?
    • [00:19:41] How do you distinguish between lowering your standards and creating a healthier definition of excellence as you age?
    • [00:24:54] What advice would you give a woman whose body no longer responds the way it used to and who feels like she's losing part of her identity?
