Have you ever felt like your body changed overnight after 40… and nothing you used to do for weight loss works anymore?

You’re not alone — and you’re not broken.

In this empowering episode, I sit down with Celest Riojas — a fitness coach who has helped hundreds of women over 50 transform their bodies using sustainable fitness, simple nutrition, and mindset shifts that stick.

We dive deep into:

  • Celest’s own journey and what inspired her to specialize in women’s fitness after 40
  • The biggest mistakes women make when trying to lose weight after 50 — and what to do instead
  • Why the “eat less, move more” approach stops working and how training & nutrition must change as we age
  • Cardio vs. strength training — where women should actually focus to get results
  • The mindset shifts every woman needs to make lasting changes without obsession or burnout
  • Celest’s #1 piece of advice for any woman over 50 frustrated with her body right now

Whether your goal is to lose stubborn weight, build strength, or simply feel like yourself again, this conversation will give you the clarity and confidence to finally make changes that last.
