 Welcome to Midlife Mayhem, where we embark on an empowering journey through the world of midlife body composition transformation. In this space, we challenge the misconceptions surrounding aging and redefine what’s possible for those navigating the exhilarating terrain of midlife and beyond. Join me as we explore the science, mindset shifts, and practical strategies that can help you sculpt the body of your dreams, proving that age is no barrier to achieving peak vitality and confidence. Whether you’re seeking to shed excess weight, gain lean muscle, or simply feel more vibrant, this podcast is your trusted companion in the pursuit of a healthier, stronger, and more resilient you. Welcome to a new era of limitless possibilities in midlife body transformation. ”Hi I’m Joanne, and I have been coaching body composition for over 30 years. I’ve worked with household names that you know, and I have worked with thousands of people in my group coaching programs. I was a pro bodybuilder in the 90’s with a top 10 physique in the world, but I only knew how to be in shape and out of shape. That frustration led me on a fascinating path of self-study where I found all the answers I could have asked for and more. But I had to dig for the answers, and I have my own ideas on why those answers are not mainstream and why the weight loss industry fails you, but I will save that for a Midlife Mayhem episode.

  • Temporary States: When a Good Thing Becomes a Problem

    Temporary States: When a Good Thing Becomes a Problem
    2026/01/07

    Welcome to 2026 — and yes, I tried to turn this podcast into video… and of course it wasn’t simple. 🙃 The video version is still happening (YouTube: Joanne Lee Cornish) — but for now, it’s you, me, and my English accent.

    The Peak Week 5 Day Shred starts on Monday, yes THIS Monday - offered only once a year!

    Today’s Topics 1) The quiet truth about change

    You don’t hate your life… but you’re not really happy either. Thinking about change feels safer than acting — because acting makes it real. And the real fear often isn’t change… it’s what change would prove about you.

    My mantra for 2026: Overlearn so you don’t have to overthink. Clarity creates ease. Confusion creates stress.

    2) Temporary states: when “good” becomes a problem

    A hard workout looks dangerous on paper: heart rate up, blood pressure up, cortisol up, inflammation up, muscle tissue damaged. But it’s healthy because it’s temporary.

    Your body runs on signals — and trouble starts when a signal becomes a lifestyle:

    • Cortisol is useful (mobilizes energy) — until it never comes down.

    • Inflammation is repair — until it never resolves.

    • mTOR (build) and AMPK (breakdown/cleanup) are both essential — but neither should be “on” all the time.

    Temporary = adaptive. Chronic = destructive.

    Quick Self-Check

    If it’s working: better sleep, stable mood, improving performance, flexibility. If it’s chronic: rigidity, anxiety, stalled results, constant effort for diminishing returns.

    Programs ✅ Peak Week: 5-Day Shred www.5dayshred.com

    Starts ON Monday (Jan 12) First coaching call: Sunday, Jan 11 A full reset week where you follow the plan and stop overthinking.

  • THE HABIT FORMATION CURVE & WHY PEOPLE QUIT TOO SOON

    THE HABIT FORMATION CURVE & WHY PEOPLE QUIT TOO SOON
    2026/01/02
    🎙️ Episode Notes: The Habit Formation Curve — Why It Gets Hard Before It Gets Easy

    In this episode, we break down why habits feel hardest right before they actually stick — and why so many people quit at exactly the wrong moment.

    Most of the anxiety around goals, body composition, or behavior change doesn’t come from lack of effort. It comes from not understanding how habit formation actually works.

    I introduce a concept known as the habit formation curve (sometimes called the power curve of habit building). Early on, effort is high, results are inconsistent, and every action requires conscious decision-making. This is normal. Your brain is actively overriding old patterns, which is metabolically expensive.

    The confusion happens in the middle phase — when you’re still showing up, but the excitement has worn off and things don’t feel easier yet. This is where many people assume something is wrong. In reality, this phase is where stabilization begins.

    Research shows that effort doesn’t gradually decline. Instead, it drops suddenly, very late in the process — often when you’re already 90–95% of the way through building the habit. Most people quit just before this point, not because they failed, but because things feel boring.

    Boredom isn’t a warning sign. It’s a signal that routines are settling, blood sugar and energy are stabilizing, and the nervous system is adapting. This is the phase no one explains — and the one that matters most.

    We also explore why the brain resists change, how repetition without renegotiation turns behavior into default, and why ease comes from consistency held long enough — not motivation, intensity, or trying harder.

    This episode offers a preview of the deeper conversations we have inside Victory Vault, a once-a-year program designed to help you identify what’s keeping you stuck, clarify who you want to become, and build habits that no longer cost you energy.

  • Should Cardio be a News Years Resolution?

    Should Cardio be a News Years Resolution?
    2025/12/30
    Exercise as a Tool: Cardio, Bias, and What Actually Works Exercise is a tool — and we’ve used it very differently over the decades. Think about it: In the 1950s, “exercise” wasn’t really a thing the way it is now. People moved, they danced (my parents and grandparents were ballroom dancers), but it wasn’t packaged as “workouts.” Then we got the eras: 70s/80s/90s: jogging + long, steady-state cardio 2000s: long-duration cardio gave way to “more intense” HIIT + Peloton era: quick, sweaty, efficient Now: thankfully… the emphasis is finally where it belongs — resistance training But that leaves people wondering: ✅ Where does cardio fit now? ✅ Do I need it? ✅ What kind? How much? ✅ Is HIIT better than steady state? ✅ Should I walk more? Let’s make it simple: it depends on the goal — and the timeline. 🔧 Coaching Without Bias One of the biggest problems in fitness is that people coach from bias. Meaning: They coach what they personally like… not what the goal actually requires. Example (and yes, people hate me saying this): If your goal is muscle gain and you tell me you do Pilates and yoga five days a week… I’m going to say: “Great… wrong tool.” Not saying don’t do it. Just saying don’t expect it to build muscle. It’s like my teenage swimmers: If they want to be better at swimming, am I going to put them on a treadmill for an hour? No. Wrong tool. The right tool depends on the goal — not your preference. 🏋️ Resistance Training: The Right Tool for Midlife Resistance training isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s foundational for midlife health because muscle is not “just muscle” — it’s metabolic, structural, protective tissue. But today’s focus is cardio — because cardio has become confusing. And it’s confusing because the “best cardio” has changed every decade… mostly due to trends and preference. So here’s how I coach it: ⏳ The First Question I Ask: “How long have we got?” The number one reason diets fail is unreasonable expectations. So when someone says: “I want to lose 30 pounds in 6 weeks…” I’m not going to cheerlead that. I’m going to coach reality. Because the plan depends on timeframe. 🎯 Short-Term Fat Loss: Nutrition Does the Heavy Lifting If the goal is short-term (days to a few weeks), cardio is rarely the main tool. Example: my Peak Week / 5-Day Shred. It’s a 5-day diet + 7-day program with 4 coaching calls and people drop weight fast — but there’s no exercise requirement. Because if the goal is fast results: nutrition creates the environment quickest cardio doesn’t move the needle much in 5 days and adding lots of cardio often makes people hungrier and less compliant And once you push beyond about 30 minutes, cardio can increase appetite for many people. So in short-term phases, the question becomes: “Is the juice worth the squeeze?” If cardio makes you hungrier and less compliant, it can work against the result. 🧱 Long-Term Results: Exercise Becomes Non-Negotiable If the goal is long-term fat loss and keeping it off, exercise matters a lot more. Here’s something fascinating: Multiple long-term weight loss studies (people maintaining results 2+ years) show a consistent theme: The vast majority of long-term successful maintainers walk a lot. And the data tends to land around this: ✅ ~350 calories/day burned through exercise (as an average) Not every day has to be exactly 350 — it can average out: some days 250 some days 500 but roughly… it balances out. This is one of the most realistic, sustainable “maintenance” targets I’ve ever seen. 🍕 Want to “Out-Exercise” Nutrition? Two other studies looked at this question: “If I don’t want to manage food very tightly… how much do I need to exercise?” Answer: 🔥 roughly 770–800 calories/day burned through exercise every day That’s a lot. Even walking, that can mean hours — daily — forever. And eventually: ankles, knees, hips, back… something complains. So yes, you can try to outwork your diet… but it’s not a long-term strategy for most people — especially in midlife. ✅ The Real Lesson: Use the Right Tool for the Job This episode comes full circle to one point: You might enjoy an exercise. You might prefer a style of training. But… Is it the right tool for your goal? And that’s the part many people don’t want to face — because it requires giving something up, changing routines, dropping comfort habits, and choosing what works. Exercise has to be part of your long-term life — not just a short-term “fat loss phase.” Find what you can commit to… but make sure it actually matches your goal. 📌 Programs & Links 🗓 Full 2026 Coaching Schedule: 👉 www.joannelee2026.com 🔥 Peak Week / 5-Day Shred Starts January 12 👉 www.5dayshred.com 🎟 Use code PEAK before Jan 1 for the discount 🧠 Victory Vault Starts January 26 👉 www.yourvictoryvault.com 🎄 ...
