  • 417. Getting Your Family On Board with Your Healthy Changes
    Dec 20 2024

    Today’s question comes from Holly: “I want to get rid of things in my pantry, but how can I take baby steps to get my family on board? I’ve done something “new” so many times and I just want them to see the difference this time. So, I’ve done little to force this new lifestyle on them until I feel like it’s something that I am confident in. Even then, I’m prone to nagging.”

    In this short Ask Megan episode, I provide tips on exactly how to encourage your family to eat healthier, without nagging, and even without doing a pantry overhaul.

  • 416. Are You Thinking About HABITS All Wrong? with Monica Packer
    Dec 17 2024

    How many times have you decided to implement a new habit, only for a week later to have already “failed”?

    Well, let me let you in on a little secret…you’re probably thinking about your habits all wrong. And I bet that when you feel like you’ve failed at your habits, you’re thinking about that wrong, too.

    Meet Monica Packer, host of the podcast “About Progress”, and a coach to countless women that need help getting practical and realistic about their habits.

    Monica and I discuss the unique challenges women face in habit formation - it’s not just you! - as well as the impact of invisible labor and the need for supportive habits. We’ll dive into the importance of flexibility, the necessity of embracing failure, and the shift in mindset you need to foster personal growth and self-care.

    If you want to know why you struggle so much with consistency and sticking with your routines, and you find yourself constantly discouraged by how your habits look, this episode is for you!

  • 415. Do Older Women Need MORE Protein to See Strength Gains?
    Dec 13 2024

    Do you ever have days where the weights that seemed do-able yesterday are suddenly challenging today? What is happening?

    Listener Julie had this same issue: “Hi Megan. I've been weight training for about the last five years and progressing slowly. But just lately the weights seem to be much harder to lift. Even though I've been doing the same weights for a while. I was just wondering, is it my age? I'm 63 now. Or is it to do with my nutrition? I do eat over 100 grams of protein a day and thought that was fine. Any suggestions would be grateful. Thank you.”

    In this shortie episode, I talk about WHY weights may be harder to lift on certain days - there’s a lot more at play than you realize! - how age impacts our strength training and how to adjust our protein intake as we get older. And I’ll leave you with a quick action plan to help you keep lifting and feel your best!
