Love this episode for you women over 50 who are thinking you will never be able to change your bodies or get strong at this age.  For those of you already lifting, you will get some pointers to up your game, too. In this powerful and practical episode of the Emotional Eats Podcast, I sit down with fitness and weight loss expert Alicia Jones to talk about what really matters when it comes to building strength, improving metabolism, and finding food freedom after 50. Spoiler Alert:  It's not about being skinny.  It's about being strong. Alicia opens up about her own struggles with yo-yo dieting, toxic body image, and the transformation that led her to become a leading voice in empowering midlife women to feel vibrant, not defeated.   Highlights of our conversation: Why muscle is your best friend for longevity and metabolism in midlife The truth behind strength training and why it's never too late to start Alicia's tips to overcome gym intimidation and create a doable workout from your living room Why intense workouts might be hurting you in menopause—and what to do instead Mindset shifts around emotional eating and how to stop the cycle without shame or restriction Fueling your workouts and understanding how protein and carbs actually help with results (not sabotage them) Reframing your relationship with the scale and understanding real progress markers like strength, energy, and waist measurement This episode is for any woman over 50 (actually also over 40) who has been told her best health is behind her.
