The Number One Thing You Can Do For Your Health Fall in love with muscle. Fall in love with building and supporting your muscles. Fall in love with strength training. Fall in love with the art of the muscle – NOT with the obsessive calorie counting. Muscle is the foundation of our success. Focusing on protein, the benefits of clean protein, and basics of building muscle will help ALL OTHER THINGS. This is the foundation of health…not being a cardio queen. And NO, even though we are former figure athletes, lifting weights will NOT make you look like a bodybuilder. There is not ONE person we know of in midlife who is doing really well health wise that does NOT focus on their protein and muscle :)
The Best Way To Eat for Optimal Health in Midlife Both Kim and I are in agreement with the mindset that it’s important to eat a whole, real, natural, unprocessed diet. It’s NOT about following the fad diets – it’s about whole nutrition and getting rid of our nutrient deficiencies. Stop eating processed, chemical laden food. Get in the good water. Get in the nutrients and supplements and vitamins that you need in order to support your body and get rid of any deficiencies you may have. And of course, prioritize protein. Even if you cannot meet your body weight in protein, start just “getting in more” every single day. If you’re only eating 40-50 grams of protein per day, you are REALLY low but there are easy little tweaks you can make each day to get more protein in.
Do Keto and Carnivore Make You Feel Better? Why Eat Veggies? While some people might FEEL better on these keto and carnivore diets, without getting the phytonutrients we get from vegetables, it CAN lead to rapid aging. Some people, although not as common as most people think, have problems with things like oxalates. BUT this doesn’t mean you should avoid those things all together – you can supplement with those. You have to know YOUR body and how you can feed it the way it needs to be fed.
