Hey there, friend! Today, I want to share something that’s close to my heart – a journey towards reclaiming your health and embracing a body that reflects the vibrant spirit within, especially if you’re over 40.
Life has this fascinating way of leading us through various chapters, and for many of us, the chapter marked “40 and beyond” comes with its own unique set of experiences. It’s a time of wisdom, growth, and self-discovery, but sometimes, it can also be a period where our health takes a backseat as we juggle responsibilities, career pursuits, and the beautiful chaos of life.
But guess what? It’s never too late to embark on a transformative journey toward health and well-being. So, if you’ve been craving a change, a reconnection with your body, and a renewed sense of vitality, then trust me, you’re in for something special.
In this blog post, we’re diving into the transformative world of why we launched our course for Couples Over 40 called The Longevity Lifestyle Blueprint. In today’s modern world where 1 out of every 3 people are said will have a chronic disease by the age of 65 (1 out of 3 folks – that is NUTS!!)
The 5 Core Areas Of Health Over 40
In our course, we deep dive into the 5 areas we have to get right over the age of 40 to avoid being the 1 out of 3. Those areas are:
- The Mindset Mastery Model, in order to make a lasting change you need to know WHY you are doing what you are doing and become aware of the sneaky lies, tricks, and manipulation of the Multi-Billion dollar food and weight loss industries.
- The Food Mastery Module is tailored specifically for those of us who are rocking the fabulous 40s and beyond. It’s a module designed to empower you with the tools and knowledge to create a lifestyle that supports your health goals, fuels your body, and sparks a renewed sense of confidence.
- The Fitness Mastery Module, embraces fitness, savoring nourishing foods, and understanding the intricate dance between our bodies and the delicious fuel we provide them. It’s about shattering those myths that say age defines what we can achieve and replacing them with the empowering truth that we have the power to evolve, no matter the chapter we’re in.
- The Sleep Mastery Module, sleep is without a doubt the MOST overlooked area of our health, and poor sleep is linked to every chronic disease. Sleep is when our bodies recover and repair, in this module, we teach you our 2 decades of combined studies and trials and testing on ourselves so that you can become a Sleep Ninja Master
- Hormonal Harmony Module. Let’s be honest you could have lived a crazy lifestyle, eaten a horrible diet, been moderately active, and been “skinny” up to your mid-30 but once those hormone productions start dropping that is NOT the case anymore!
Navigating fitness after 40 can present some unique challenges due to the natural changes that occur in our bodies over time.
These are the challenges men and women over 40 face
1. Metabolism Slowdown: As we age, our metabolism tends to slow down, making it easier to gain weight and harder to lose it. This can require adjustments to our diet and exercise routines.
2. Loss of Muscle Mass: Muscle mass naturally decreases with age, leading to a decrease in overall strength and a lower basal metabolic rate. Resistance training becomes crucial to counteract this muscle loss.
3. Joint and Bone Health: Over time, joint mobility and bone density can decrease, making certain types of high-impact exercises riskier. Low-impact activities and proper joint care become important.
4. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal shifts, especially during perimenopause and menopause, can impact energy levels, mood, and metabolism. Understanding these changes and adapting workouts accordingly is key.
5. Recovery Time: Recovery time tends to increase with age, meaning that the body might need more time to bounce back after intense workouts. Adequate rest and recovery become essential.
6. Injury Risk: Older bodies might be more prone to injuries due to reduced flexibility and slower reflexes. Proper warm-ups, stretches, and injury-prevention techniques are essential.
7. Time Constraints: Busy schedules with family, work, and other responsibilities can limit the time available for exercise. Finding efficient and effective workout routines becomes important.
8. Mindset Shifts: Changes in body image, confidence, and motivation might occur as we age. Cultivating a positive mindset and setting realistic goals is crucial for long-term success.
9. Nutritional Needs: Nutritional needs might change, requiring a focus on nutrient-dense foods to support energy levels, muscle maintenance, and overall health.
10. Adapting to Technology: Embracing technology and understanding how to incorporate fitness apps and wearables can help track progress and stay motivated.
The Unique Health Concerns of Men and Women Over 40
Entering our 40s and beyond brings a blend of unique health concerns and incredible benefits when it comes to staying fit. On one hand, we might notice changes in metabolism and muscle mass that require a bit more effort to manage. Hormonal shifts, especially during perimenopause and menopause, can throw us for a loop, affecting energy levels and even mood.
Joint health and injury prevention becomes a priority as our bodies might not bounce back as quickly as they used to. But don’t let that discourage you! The benefits of staying fit at this stage of life are truly remarkable. Regular exercise can help counteract age-related muscle loss, keeping us strong and functional.
It’s not just about looking good; it’s about maintaining overall health. A fit lifestyle can improve cardiovascular health, boost mood, enhance bone density, and even support cognitive function. Plus, the sense of accomplishment from overcoming these challenges is empowering. Every workout becomes a reminder that we’re taking control of our well-being and setting an inspiring example for those around us.
The Role of Nutrition over 40
Proper nutrition is the cornerstone of achieving and maintaining fitness goals, regardless of age. In our 40s and beyond, it becomes even more critical as our bodies undergo changes that require tailored nourishment. Nutrients like protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals play key roles in supporting muscle recovery, maintaining bone density, and boosting energy levels.
Protein becomes an ally in preserving lean muscle mass, which can help counteract age-related muscle loss. Adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D becomes crucial for maintaining strong bones, especially as the risk of osteoporosis increases. Additionally, nutrients rich in antioxidants support cellular health and combat oxidative stress, a contributor to age-related health issues.
Balancing macronutrients, avoiding excessive refined sugars, and consuming whole foods ensures a stable energy supply, helping manage fluctuations in metabolism. Hydration is often underestimated, but it’s vital for joint lubrication, digestion, and overall body function. As our bodies experience hormonal shifts, particularly during menopause, incorporating foods rich in phytoestrogens can help alleviate symptoms and maintain hormonal balance.
Remember, nutrition isn’t just about restrictive diets; it’s about nourishing our bodies to thrive. Consulting with a registered dietitian can provide personalized guidance to tailor your diet to your fitness goals and unique needs. Proper nutrition in tandem with a consistent fitness routine creates a synergy that empowers us to achieve and maintain our fitness aspirations well into our 40s and beyond.
I wanted to take a moment to share something personal with you. You know, when Jason and I embarked on this journey of wellness and longevity, we had no idea where it would take us. Over the past 6-plus years, we’ve delved deep into the realms of health, fitness, and holistic living, gathering an incredible wealth of knowledge along the way. And let me tell you, it’s been a transformational ride.
Personally, I managed to heal my autoimmune system and shed over 50 pounds in the process. Jason conquered his sleep struggles and dropped two pant sizes, feeling more vibrant and alive than ever before. But it’s not just about us; it’s about the incredible individuals we’ve had the privilege to coach and guide.
Let me tell you about Wade, a true inspiration in his mid-60s. In just three months of embracing our approach, he not only lost an astonishing 45 pounds but also witnessed a remarkable improvement in his blood sugar numbers. They shifted from pre-diabetic to normal, a feat he hadn’t achieved in over two decades. The icing on the cake? He shared how much younger and more energetic he feels.
Wade text me this photo with his son and grandbabies, this is the first time he has seen his son in over 5 years because of travel abroad restrictions and the first time meeting both of his grandbabies and he said, “Hey K’Lee and Jason, I am down 45+ pounds this month and feel amazing, for the first time in I cannot remember when I can walk and play and be active without getting winded. I feel young again and I cannot believe I went so many years feeling like crap! Thank you, guys, for all your help!!”
