Ep.88 There Is No Magic Pill: Getting Fit in Your Fifties and Never Looking Back

When Kiki Hurwitt's wellness and emotional health were not where she wanted them to be, she chose action over surrender, embarking on an incredible quest toward fitness that transformed her life. Have you ever considered that maybe your greatest victories lie ahead, no matter your age? 

Kiki's candid discussion on her battle with pre-diabetes and high cholesterol opens a window into the power of determination and how visual affirmations, like progress photos, can radically shift self-perception. She embodies the spirit of the fearless warrior in all of us, proving that midlife can indeed be redefined.

True health goes beyond shedding pounds; it's about nurturing strength within. Join me as we unravel Kiki's steps to success, which involved meticulous attention to diet, understanding the essentials of muscle maintenance, and the surprising mental marathon of reverse dieting. We also discuss the common dietary misconceptions that trap so many women.

Kiki, alongside her coach Michelle MacDonald and inspired by the journey of Joan MacDonald, brings to light the life-changing benefits of personalized fitness guidance.
But what's a hero without her tribe? Kiki's story takes on a new dimension with the unwavering support of her family and an online community that became her fitness fellowship. 

From the shared triumphs with her bonus daughter to her husband's own remarkable weight loss, Kiki paints a vivid picture of how communal strength can be the wind beneath our transformational wings. And as she shares under the banner of @thelykkeviking on Instagram, we see a life teeming with self-love, positivity, and the thrill of chasing new horizons, no matter the season of life.
