Strength nutrition strategist and weight lifting coach Steph Gaudreau shares how lifting weights is a catalyst for a more expansive life and how to challenge the status quo around nutrition and fitness. This weekly show brings you discussion about building strength without obsessing about food and exercise, lifting weights, food psychology, and more. You'll learn how to eat, train, recover, listen to your body, and step into your strength.

Women's Fitness Over 40: Cutting Through the Confusion with Nikki Naab-Levy
Episode 447
Tuesday, 2 December, 2025

If you've been feeling like women's fitness over 40 is a nonstop back-and-forth debate - like you're courtside at Wimbledon watching the ball whip from one hot take to another - you're not imagining it. Social media is loud right now, especially when it comes to what women should or shouldn't be doing in midlife. That noise can make it hard to trust your instincts or know what actually matters for building strength and aging athletically. In this episode, I'm joined by strength for hypermobility & nutrition coach Nikki Naab-Levy. Together, we unpack the most confusing fitness narratives floating around right now and give you context that brings you back to center court so you feel confident, grounded, and clear on what works. What you'll learn in this episode: What if "feeling the right muscle" isn't the best way to judge your lift? Are you training for strength… or just training to get tired? Do rest periods actually matter, or is that all overblown? If hypertrophy works across a huge rep range, how do you choose what you should do? What happens when aesthetic fears collide with long-term strength and aging well? Enjoyed this episode and want more?
