Think Your Best Years Are Behind You? Think Again.

If you're in midlife and wondering why your body suddenly feels like it's working against you—fatigue, stubborn weight, poor sleep—you are so not alone. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be this way.

In this episode, I sit down with Karen Karlsen, Faster Way coach and pro-aging advocate, who transformed her health after a shocking prediabetes diagnosis in her 50s. Now thriving at 60, Karen shares how she ditched diet culture and embraced a smarter approach—focusing on strength training, macro tracking, and real food—to get her energy, sleep, and metabolism back on track.

We bust some major midlife myths—like why eating less is not the answer, how protein is your best friend after 50, and why personalization is the key to real, lasting results. Karen even shares how she uses a continuous glucose monitor to dial in her nutrition and how hormone therapy and better sleep changed everything.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, invisible, or confused by your changing body, this episode is your wake-up call. Aging well isn’t just possible—it’s powerful. And it starts here.
