You are not broken – but midlife fat loss does need a different plan.

If you’ve been told “eat 1200 calories and move more,” save this and send it to a friend who needs a reality check.
What your doctor may miss:
Not all belly fat is the same – subcutaneous fat and visceral fat are very different.
A calorie target without protein and muscle support can cost you muscle.
In midlife, losing weight without a strategy can backfire fast.
The goal isn’t to eat less and suffer.

The goal is to lose fat, protect muscle, and actually feel confident in your body again.
If you’re 40+ and tired of jumping from one piece of advice to the next, this is your sign to get a real plan.
Lets talk about the most confusing advice you’ve heard about fat loss and I have an invitation if you are ready for results.

It’s Never Too Late …. What Surfing Can Teach You

Surfing is not just a sport – it can be the permission slip women have been waiting for to choose joy, build confidence, and stop putting themselves last. Angie from Sisterhood of Surf shares how women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond are getting in the water for the first time and discovering it is never too late to start.
What begins as a beginner surf session quickly opens into a bigger conversation about age, identity, and the power of having something that is just for you. Chanel and Angie unpack why so many women think they are too old, too unfit, or not “good enough” to try something new, and why those beliefs disappear once you are in the right environment with the right cheerleaders.
You’ll discover:
Why Sisterhood of Surf was created after Angie saw a gap in the market for women who wanted surfing, travel, and community without pressure or ego
How one-day surf events can fast-track confidence for complete beginners
Why “play” matters more than we think, and how surfing becomes a form of therapy, not just exercise
The mindset shift that helps women stop fearing aging and start seeing it as a privilege
Why progress does not have to mean becoming an advanced surfer – sometimes whitewash, laughter, and connection are enough
Angie also shares the ripple effect she sees every day: women arriving as strangers, leaving as friends, and coming back year after year because the experience changes how they feel about themselves. Chanel adds her own perspective on learning later in life, the value of taking lessons, and why committing to yourself is often the first real step.
If you have been waiting for the “right time” to do something for yourself, this is your sign. Perfect for women who want more confidence, more joy, and a reminder that aging does not have to shrink your life – it can expand it.
Angie is the founder of Sisterhood of Surf, a women’s surf and travel community, and also owns The Active Sisters, a female fitness studio in Redcliffe. She is a women’s health coach with years of experience helping women reconnect with movement, confidence, and themselves.

I used to think grief was just about loss — turns out, it’s a roller coaster I never signed up for. 🎢

Drop a 💙 if you’re navigating tough emotions right now — you’re not alone.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been crying, moving, and figuring out how to keep going after losing our beloved dog.

But here’s the truth — grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and some days are just harder than others.
What’s helped me?
Journaling my feelings ✍️
Moving my body, even when I don’t feel like it 🚶‍♀️
Being kind to myself on days I can’t do everything 🌸
Leaning on my community and support system 🤝
Prioritizing small wins and self-care routines
It’s okay to stumble — grief is messy, and so are we. What’s your go-to when life gets tough?

Let’s support each other in this journey. 💬
Remember: Grief is a process, not a sign of weakness. Sending love to all of you walking through it. 💖

When we have body composition goals, sometimes they can drag on endlessly. That is not good for the outcome, or for our mindset. Having firm goals helps us achieve and stay focussed. Sometimes we need to mix things up, having goals that are non-scale victories.

Inside My Protocol: Testing Ketone-IQ and Vively (Are They Worth It?)

Everywhere you look right now, there’s a new “biohack” promising to fix midlife metabolism, clear brain fog, and accelerate fat loss. But how much of it is actually backed by science, and how much is just clever marketing?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own health experiments. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been testing two of the biggest trends in the health space: Ketone-IQ shots and Vively continuous blood trackers.

I am breaking down exactly how my body responded, what the data showed, and my final verdict as a sports nutritionist on whether you should actually spend your hard-earned money on them.

In this episode, we cover:

The Ketone Craze: The science behind exogenous ketones and my honest review of Ketone-IQ.

Tracking from the Inside Out: What I learned about my metabolic health by tracking my blood markers with Vively.

Shiny Object Syndrome: How to navigate the overwhelming world of midlife health trends without wasting time or money.

The Non-Negotiables: Why you absolutely shouldn’t invest in advanced biohacks until you master the fundamentals—like hitting your 30g daily fiber goal, prioritizing high-protein meals, and lifting weights.

If you are a woman over 40 wanting to cut through the noise and build a body that feels energetic, strong, and capable, this episode is for you.
