Navigating fitness after 40 can feel like a puzzle where the old pieces no longer fit. 40s Fitness Reset is for anyone who’s tired of generic advice that ignores the biological shifts of midlife, particularly the stubborn accumulation of visceral fat. Host Jihane Farrell brings a unique perspective to this podcast, merging her background as a former aging research scientist and PhD-level longevity coach with her practical role as an ADAPT-Certified Functional Health Coach. The conversations here move beyond simplistic calorie counting to explore a longevity-focused, science-backed approach. You’ll hear discussions on why traditional weight loss methods often fail at this stage and what truly works for sustainable change. Episodes break down actionable strategies for time-effective, high-return habits that target metabolic health and body composition, not just the number on the scale. It’s about building a resilient physiology for the decades ahead. Jihane translates complex research into clear steps, offering a realistic reset for those ready to move past frustration. This isn’t about another drastic diet; it’s a thoughtful recalibration of how we think about energy, movement, and aging. Tune in for a blend of evidence and empathy, designed to help you reclaim agency over your health and feel strong in your own skin again.
