tips for better sleep

We are very fortunate to have Dr. Richard Blackburn, who heads up Nystrom's Sleep Academy, share with us a ton of helpful and enlightening information about sleep. If you're like me, I thought to myself, "Sleep is great, but I don't have enough time to sleep and I'm doing just fine." or if you struggle with sleep, you do not want to miss these podcasts! 

We planned for one hour and there was so much helpful and practical information, that we decided to just keep recording! Listen, learn and share these episodes with others because healthy sleep is a real game-changer and improvement upon our overall quality of life.

About this episode:
✨Are you a woman in her 40s or 50s looking to improve your health and fitness but don't know where to get started? 

There is sooo much information out there about how to feel better in perimenopause and menopause, but what are the most important places to start?

 In this episode, I look at the 4 big rocks to improving your health and fitness in midlfe. 

If you get these 4 things under control, you're going to be ahead of 98% of women and I promise you are going to feel much better than you do today. 

The four big rocks for 40+ fitness are: 

 1️⃣ Sleep:  I know. Boring but sooo essential. And without good sleep everything else is just sooo much harder. I discuss the sleep issues 40+ women face and why and share tips on how to improve your quality of sleep. 

2️⃣ Steps:  We are too sedentary and it's killing our bodies. I share how many steps you should be aiming for (no, the magic number is not 10 000), and tips on how to get there. 

3️⃣ Strength training: Probably no big surprise to anyone who has followed me that strength training is going to be on my list of top things to do. The benefits are real! (check out episode #2 for more about the benefits)

4️⃣ Protein: I discuss the benefits, how much protein to aim for, and share my strategy for getting in enough protein in the day.
