Episode 8: F*ck, Fighting Inflammation: Movement, Midlife & Inner Vitality with Amelia Phillips 💪🔥

Is it really just ageing, or is chronic inflammation quietly stealing your energy, sleep and sanity? 😴😩

In this episode, I chats with clinical nutritionist and exercise scientist Amelia Phillips, creator of the Inner Vitality programme and co-founder of 12WBT with Michelle Bridges. Amelia unpacks how inflammation is impacting women in midlife, why your workouts might be making you more tired (not stronger), and how to reset your rhythm without burning out. 🧠💥
