FOOD IS OUR FUEL
Achieving and maintaining good physical shape is not solely about the gym. Nutrition plays a pivotal role. We prioritize whole organic foods, hydration, and mindful eating to fuel our bodies for optimal performance. We limit alcohol, sugars, all processed foods, seed oils.
Where can you start?
Purchase meat, fruit and vegetables from your local farmer. Eat organic, as much as possible. Eliminate all seed oils. Limit gluten. Reduce and work toward eliminating all alcohol and caffeine products. Alcohol and caffeine are toxins, although not a popular opinion, these toxins are responsible for weight gain, hormone changes, damage to your prefrontal cortex and cellulite.

REFRAMING AGING
Instead of viewing aging as a hindrance, we see it as an opportunity for growth. We understand that with age comes wisdom, resilience, and an enhanced appreciation for the importance of self-care.
It is not selfish to take care of yourself, to love yourself, to prioritize your health, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!
Liliane Morel age 53
"How I stay fit as a 53 yr old young woman?
4km walk every morning, in the winter I snow shoe. Then 45min Body & Bell class, and finish off with cold plunge in my pond! Eating what we raise & grow, seldom shop at the grocery store. I have never been a coffee drinker and I quit alcohol New Years 2024. I always tell my adult girls that I am going to be around untill at least 100, a healthy one too!"

CONSISTENCY IS KEY
You will notice consistency is the pattern in every women featured in this blog! It's not always grand gestures but the small daily rituals that accumulate into significant achievements and results.
For example, I believe that every successful journey begins with the first steps of a new day. For me, it's the simple act of making my bed, a ritual that signals the start of a day devoted to consistency.
"How you do anything is how you do everything"
I make my bed daily before any other tasks, I make it with precision, pillows fluffed equally, no creases or wrinkles, linens straight, House & Homes ready. The same way I tend to my bed is the same way I tend to all my daily tasks, my workouts, my family and my clients and my business.
Beth Blackmore age 47
"Since 2019, I’ve been on a path of awakening, self discovery and growth. Focusing on nutrition, physical health, mindset and overall well-being, I successfully shed 60lbs and I’m proud to say I’m the healthiest I’ve been in my life!
I went from being a carb addict, stuffing down my feelings with food, to nourishing and caring for my body - using food as a fuel source. I have established many healthy habits over the last 5 years including daily nature walks, gratitude journaling, hypnotherapy, lifting heavy and focusing my meals around protein and healthy fats."

Remember that in consistency lies the true power to transform dreams into lasting success.
The narrative that only 1% of women over 40 are in good physical shape is rapidly evolving. Through determination, varied fitness approaches, nutritional mindfulness, our Tribe support, and a positive perspective on aging, WE, the 1% are proving that age is NO barrier to achieving and maintaining excellent physical health.
We are not just defying stereotypes and our programming; we are becoming trailblazers in the realm of health and wellness!

Andrea Robichaud Age 41
"Once you take over your health, you claim the power to do something about it! Do not be misled into thinking that your current or future state of health is out of your hands. I USED to believe that I needed to do cardio to lose weight, the birth contorl pill was good to regulate my cycle, and counting calories was a sure way to be healthy. None of these are true. Unlearning everything I thought I knew about health and uncovering what it truly means to be healthy has transformed my entire life!? Follow Andrea on instagram here
Vivian Bignell age 66
aka Fast Viv and my Mom. My Mom loves cycling, hiking, walking and early morning stretches. My mom certainly does not live like most women her age nor does she look like women her age!
