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.

    Hard Work, Wrong Advice: 2,500 Facebook Comments Later
    2026/11/03
    The Facebook Post that had me Stunned But first - Protein Scavenging ... What is protein scavenging? In certain birds, researchers have shown they eat and eat and search for food until they hit the optimal protein they need for that day. Once they hit it, they stop eating. The hypothesis is that we do the same thing. We keep eating until we hit the right amount of protein for the day.If we do not hit it, we just keep eating all day.This has not been proven in humans, but Joanne says over three decades of coaching, she has seen exactly this pattern. When people finally eat enough protein, the frustrations greatly diminish. The snacking goes away.The meals get smaller.The food noise goes away.All of a sudden, they look disciplined. They look like they have self-control. Protein does that. Yet so many people fight it, because protein does not taste as good as carbohydrates and fat. Doing what is necessary, not what you want As we get older, protein is not absorbed as well, and we need more of it per meal to trigger muscle protein synthesis. A 20-year-old may manage it with 20 grams. Over 45, Joanne talks about 35 to 40 grams per meal. Protein has to be deliberate. Logging alone will not fix it. Logging and finding you only reached 70 or 80 grams tells you the problem. It does not solve it.Planning the protein first, then building the rest of the day around it, does.A protein shake, tuna, and some ground turkey can get you there. Joanne also uses ready-made protein drinks, 30 grams each, two a day, before she eats a thing. Try it for two weeks. People who say they cannot eat enough protein are often not valuing themselves enough to make it non-negotiable.If you knew it would guarantee a long, healthy life for your pets, or your grandkids, you would make it happen. Apply that same value to yourself. Anyone with kidney disease should stay within their doctor's protocols. That exception sits beside every protein recommendation. The Facebook post that blew her mind In an over-50s group, a woman posted that she had trained for nine months, eats 1,400 calories a day, weight trains four days a week, and has not lost a pound. She said she gets about 80 grams of protein a day. The post drew around 2,500 comments. Most of the advice was nonsense, Joanne says. "You are not eating enough, you are in starvation mode.""It must be your hormones, you need oestrogen.""Lift lighter weights for your body type." Joanne's reading of the same post. If she is not tracking, she is almost certainly eating about 30% more than she thinks, so probably closer to 1,700 calories, not 1,400.80 grams of protein is only 320 calories. On 1,400 calories, that leaves close to 1,100 calories from something that is not protein, likely over 200 grams of carbohydrate a day.With a waist that suggests an insulin load, that carbohydrate load blocks access to stored fat. Lipolysis is inhibited.The fix is not more calories and not a new hormone. It is flipping the macros: keep the calories, get the protein grams right up, which in itself brings the carbohydrates down. And get bloodwork done. One commenter, a woman in her seventies, got it exactly right: eat unprocessed food, stay in a deficit, exercise every day, and you will get results. Joanne's own 5-Amino experience, from YouTube to audio Joanne shares only her own experience here, for information, not as a recommendation for anyone else. Right after Christmas 2023, she was 147.5 pounds.She started taking 5-Amino-1MQ in the summer of that year and deliberately changed nothing else.By December 29, 2024, she was 137 pounds, 10 pounds down, with strength up and training great.Since then, her weight has held at 137 to 138 pounds, with no fluctuation over holiday seasons.A recent InBody test put her at 138.8 pounds, 13.6% body fat, with visceral fat under 4.Her point: a body fat percentage that low is only possible with muscle behind it. A woman in great shape who does not resistance train would more likely sit around 22%, because body fat is a percentage.

    Midlife Memoirs #1 Lupe
    2026/11/07
    Midlife Memoirs #1: Lupe — She Couldn't Do One Pushup, Now She Does 57 Welcome to Midlife Memoirs This is the very first Midlife Memoirs. The idea is simple. Real people, real midlife journeys, shared out loud. So we can share stories, help others, maybe laugh a little, and realise how far we have come. My first guest is Lupe, a dear friend I have known for close to 30 years. We first met at Gold's Gym Venice in the late 1990s. How Lupe and I Met Lupe was a flight attendant on a layover. She saw a fitness competition, looked it up, and came to find me because I was training Monica Brant at the time. She sat down with me outside Gold's Gym Venice and said she wanted to do a fitness competition. In eight weeks. I asked how much training she had done. How much dancing. Zero. Zero. So I asked her to do a pushup. She couldn't do one. On her toes. At 26 years old. We trained together for almost five years after that. She would drive from Hermosa Beach, then Huntington Beach, to Venice to train with me. And now, at 57, she can do at least 57 pushups in one go. 57 at 57. That says everything. The Kindergarten Lesson Lupe's analogy for walking into Gold's Gym Venice is perfect. She was entering kindergarten. She didn't even know how to do a pushup. I already had my masters, so to speak. I had competed and done it all. Her point, and mine: everybody wants to start at the end. Nobody wants to do the dirty work at the beginning. Everybody gets frustrated because they start and they are not already good at it. If you accept you are starting at the beginning, you can actually enjoy all the progress. And a good trainer at the very start can save you decades. YouTube and apps are fine. But a good coach for even a few months can save you from years of doing it wrong and then having to unravel it. When Midlife Crept In For Lupe, menopause did not arrive with a big announcement. It crept in, bit by bit, at around 51. She was flying back and forth to Sacramento caring for her mum, who had suffered a stroke and had aphasia. Life was full: a window cleaning business with her husband, a dog, all of it. One day she noticed she didn't think she had had her period that month. She put it to one side. Then came the hot flashes. Lupe had always been cold. Suddenly she was hot, and she didn't understand what was happening. Nobody had warned her, in any detail, what to expect. Her two older sisters, 18 and 20 years older, had completely different experiences. One, with poor eating and exercise habits, had terrible hot flashes. The other, with great habits, barely felt it. That contrast is the whole lesson. The Window Before It Starts Women who go into perimenopause insulin resistant get slammed. Women who go in healthy get through it far easier. That is why the late 30s and early 40s matter so much. Get your fasted insulin checked. Eat better. Watch your carbohydrate intake. Get your protein up. You don't have to be perfect. But if those habits are in place before things start changing, the experience is completely different. Once the weight is gained and the issues have piled up, it is much harder to undo. Like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. There are six hormones that change your body composition with age, but the two big ones are insulin and cortisol, and you can control both of those. Grief, Anxiety, and Thoughts That Weren't Hers Lupe's mum passed away five years ago. A year later, her husband's mum passed. Then his dad, about a year ago. Grief on top of hormones was, in her words, a recipe for havoc. Her superpower used to be sleep. Then she was waking at 2am, night after night. She started having anxious thoughts that had never been hers. Walking the dog and imagining another dog attacking it. Freaking out going through a tunnel on the freeway. Uneasy in an elevator if it stopped for a second. She didn't tell anyone. She thought people would think she was crazy. Estrogen keeps a lid on cortisol. When estrogen goes away, cortisol can rise, and worry rushes into the gap. That is why women can suddenly start worrying about things that never once entered their minds before. My own embarrassing moment: I lit a neighbour up over her dogs attacking ours. The old me would have had a calm conversation. That day, I went off like a flare. Afterwards I thought, who was that? Awareness is a huge part of it. The moment you recognise what is happening, it drops from a 10 to a 2. The Turtleneck Story ✓ Lupe's funniest symptom story: a turtleneck on a plane to Mexico, a hot flash closing in, and her ready to cut the thing off with scissors. ✓ Her rule now: wear something underneath you can strip down to, and only wear tops you can get off fast. Zip-ups, not pullovers. ✓ Costume changes, ladies. That is part of this journey too. The Worst Advice She Was Given A friend, a breast cancer survivor, told Lupe how terrible HRT was. It wasn't intentional. But Lupe trusted her, didn't do her own research, and it put her off even ...

  • LEAN MASS IS NOT MUSCLE MASS

    LEAN MASS IS NOT MUSCLE MASS
    2026/09/28

    The scale says “lean mass.” Your strength tells the fuller story.

    If you’re using a GLP-1, moving through menopause, or simply trying to stay strong as you get older, losing weight isn’t the only thing that matters. What you’re losing—and what you’re keeping—matters more.

    In this episode of Midlife Mayhem, I’m connecting three conversations that are usually discussed separately: protein, GLP-1 medications, and HRT.

    We’re talking about why the standard protein RDA may not be enough when your goal is preserving or building muscle, why I recommend around one gram of protein per pound of goal body weight, and what really happens when you dramatically increase protein intake.

    I also break down one of the biggest concerns surrounding GLP-1 medications: muscle loss.

    When a DEXA scan reports a drop in “lean mass,” that doesn't automatically mean you've lost that amount of muscle. Glycogen, water, organs and connective tissue are all included in lean mass—and rapid weight loss can change several of those very quickly.

    That doesn’t mean muscle loss can’t happen. It absolutely can, particularly when calories drop dramatically without enough protein or resistance training. But this isn’t a problem invented by GLP-1 medications.

    And then there’s HRT.

    Hormone replacement therapy can be enormously valuable during menopause and may improve symptoms, sleep, recovery and quality of life. But HRT doesn't replace the muscle-building stimulus of resistance training.

    The hierarchy is simple:

    1. Resistance training provides the signal.

    2. Protein provides the raw material.

    3. Sleep, recovery, stress management—and, for some women, HRT—support the process.

    In this episode, I also explain why your strength may be one of the most useful warning systems you have. If your weight is falling while your strength is holding or improving, that's very different from watching your weight fall while becoming progressively weaker.

    Precision is the antidote to panic.

    We’ll cover:

    • How much protein you may actually need in midlife

    • Why protein isn't the body-fat villain it's often made out to be

    • What “lean mass” on a DEXA scan actually means

    • GLP-1s, rapid weight loss and muscle preservation

    • Why resistance training becomes even more important when appetite is suppressed

    • Where HRT fits into the muscle-building equation

    • Why strength can tell you something the scale cannot

    No pill, powder, injection or prescription does the reps for you.
