The women that are 40 plus who are doing the cardio, for the most part, they're going to be what we call skinny fat. So that means that they're not going to have a lot of quality muscle. There's going to be a lot of fatty tissue within the muscle and their bones are going to be like chalk.
Because if we are doing all that cardio work and we're not looking at how our bodies are aging and what we need, we need the food before the training, we need to put in some strength training, then we're going to continuously be breaking down the tissue that we want to keep to age well. So when we're talking about that mentality of, well, what do I do?

It's like these small steps of, yeah, let's have some food before. Let's look at how we are dosing our exercise, what kinds of intensities. Let's bring in some strength training because all of those are going to feed forward to having our lean mass. Having really strong bones, having really good neuroplasticity. So that means how your brain changes in a positive way.

Yes. So a lot of women don't have an appetite first thing in the morning. I'm one of those, but I know that I need fuel. So I'm very much an espresso addict. I love it. And one of the simple things that I do is I make a double espresso at night and I mix some protein powder into my almond milk or whatever milk you want. And then I put the hot coffee in there and I put it in the fridge overnight.

And then it's my go-to first thing in the morning where then I'm getting my 30 grams of protein. I'm getting my caffeine. It tastes like a latte. I'm good to go. And so that's a first hit.

There's a few things to unpack there. So first we look at eating opportunities because there's so many women who are one, trying to lose weight or two, already in the fitness space and following some of the trends that don't eat enough.
