(#40) - From Ironman to Garden Queen: Kim Eagle on Fitness, Food & Finding Joy in Midlife

Hey Hoops & Glossers — today’s guest is proof that you can be strong, healthy, and still grow your own garlic braid worthy of a Pinterest board.

Meet Kim Eagle — fitness coach, nutrition expert, Ironman times two (yes, TWO), and the green thumb behind Grow a Healthy Garden. She’s the founder of Earn That Body, where she’s been helping clients ditch the diet drama since 2009 with a “real food, no gimmicks” approach. And now, she’s teaching people everywhere to plant, grow, and eat organic goodness right from their own backyards (or balconies).

In this episode, we dig into:

• 🚴‍♀️ How training for an Ironman changed her everything (and why she’d do it again in a heartbeat)

• 🍠 Why perimenopause had her swapping marathons for muscle and sweet potato harvests

• 🏋️‍♀️ The myth-busting truth about weight training, carbs, and why eating more can actually help you lose weight

• 🥗 Why Ozempic isn’t the magic fix most people think it is — and the ripple effects we’re not talking about enough

• 🌿 How growing your own food can boost your health, your mood, and maybe your social life (neighbors love free tomatoes)

Kim’s energy is contagious, her advice is practical, and her passion for helping people feel their best is next level. You’ll leave this episode ready to rework your workouts… and maybe plant a basil plant while you’re at it.

Because whether you’re building muscle or growing garlic, midlife is all about planting seeds you actually want to see grow. 🌸
