Midlife Mayhem
Welcome to Midlife Mayhem, where we embark on an empowering journey through the world of midlife body composition transformation. In this space, we challenge the misconceptions surrounding aging and redefine what’s possible for those navigating the exhilarating terrain of midlife and beyond. Join me as we explore the science, mindset shifts, and practical strategies that can help you sculpt the body of your dreams, proving that age is no barrier to achieving peak vitality and confidence. Whether you’re seeking to shed excess weight, gain lean muscle, or simply feel more vibrant, this podcast is your trusted companion in the pursuit of a healthier, stronger, and more resilient you. Welcome to a new era of limitless possibilities in midlife body transformation. ”Hi I’m Joanne, and I have been coaching body composition for over 30 years. I’ve worked with household names that you know, and I have worked with thousands of people in my group coaching programs. I was a pro bodybuilder in the 90’s with a top 10 physique in the world, but I only knew how to be in shape and out of shape. That frustration led me on a fascinating path of self-study where I found all the answers I could have asked for and more. But I had to dig for the answers, and I have my own ideas on why those answers are not mainstream and why the weight loss industry fails you, but I will save that for a Midlife Mayhem episode.

Crepey skin is loose skin! You can pick it up; it moves freely around and doesnt seem to be tethered down the way it used to be. And because of this looseness, it buckles like tissue paper.

This week’s episode is the one piece of advice I’d give anyone approaching midlife, dealing with it, or coming out the other side: be prepared.
We almost always wait until we’re in a situation to educate ourselves about it. We’re sitting in a pool of night sweats, googling what causes them. We’ve gained the weight, then we search for fat loss. We’ve lost 10 pounds of mus...
What if a cheap, well-studied supplement could specifically help the muscle most of us lose first after 50 — our legs?

In this episode of Midlife Mayhem, I’m breaking down fi...
The scale says “lean mass.” Your strength tells the fuller story.
If you’re using a GLP-1, moving through menopause, or simply trying to stay strong as you get older, losing weight isn’t the only thing that matters. What you’re losing—and what you’re keeping—matters more.
In this episode of Midlife Mayhem, I’m connecting three conversations that are usually discussed separately:...

Midlife Mayhem — Episode Show Notes
Hey there,
Two Instagram posts sent me down a rabbit hole this week, and I couldn't wait to bring it to you.
Post one: a woman says if you can't wrap your fingers around your wrist, you're "big boned" — not overweight, just built bigger. Post two: if your thigh isn't over 24 inches around, you'll apparently live longer. As someone wh...

For decades, we were terrified of dietary fat. Everything was low-fat, fat-free or reduced-fat, and eating fat was almost automatically associated with gaining body fat.
Then the pendulum swung.
