From the publisher
Are you over 40 and feeling like your body is betraying you? You’re overweight with stubborn belly fat, but every time you try to get back in shape, something feels different this time. You have tried all the weight loss programs and diets under the sun, but nothing is sustainable,,, In this season of your life, you need a different approach! Welcome to the 40s Fitness Reset, Where I’m here to help you finally get rid of belly fat and build a lean body so you can look younger and feel full of life again. I will show you a way to transform your body that is all about adding and riding the momentum, using our mind, nutrition & fitness and by leveraging your biology. Because in your 40s, you want your body to work for you. Hi, I’m Jihane Farrell, a wife, a mother and PhD level, functional health coach, former aging research scientist. I was a total workaholic unable to deal with stress in a healthy way, ignoring all the red flags and sacrificing my health and what matters most in life to my work. This led me to a burn out. I used longevity lifestyles to come back to life and became a mom of 2 little girls, one with special needs. After my 2nd, in my 40s, I found myself in the worst shape of my life: fat and getting weaker. I decided to level up my longevity lifestyle with body recomposition. I threw weight loss out the window and instead, I focused on 3 key performance indicators for longevity: 3 markers that predict how long and how well we can live. I lost fat and built muscle, without starving myself and without doing hours and hours of cardio. I went from 24% to 19% body fat (ideal for women) and built 3 lbs of muscle mass in 3 months. With my 3-step process, I am now 5.5 lbs of muscle stronger than I was 12 months ago and have my best body ever. At 43, I feel and look better than at 23. And I’m here to give you all the keys to do the same. In this podcast, I will give you actionable tips to use your biology to get results and create a sustainable lifestyle for a longer and healthier life. So, listen up if you want to say goodbye to the stubborn belly, look younger, be stronger and get extra life. Ready to take action?
