Description

Are you over 40 and feeling like your body is betraying you? You’re overweight with stubborn belly fat, but every time you try to get back in shape, something feels different this time. You have tried all the weight loss programs and diets under the sun, but nothing is sustainable,,, In this season of your life, you need a different approach! Welcome to the 40s Fitness Reset, Where I’m here to help you finally get rid of belly fat and build a lean body so you can look younger and feel full of life again. I will show you a way to transform your body that is all about adding and riding the momentum, using our mind, nutrition & fitness and by leveraging your biology. Because in your 40s, you want your body to work for you. Hi, I’m Jihane Farrell, a wife, a mother and PhD level, functional health coach, former aging research scientist. I was a total workaholic unable to deal with stress in a healthy way, ignoring all the red flags and sacrificing my health and what matters most in life to my work. This led me to a burn out. I used longevity lifestyles to come back to life and became a mom of 2 little girls, one with special needs. After my 2nd, in my 40s, I found myself in the worst shape of my life: fat and getting weaker. I decided to level up my longevity lifestyle with body recomposition. I threw weight loss out the window and instead, I focused on 3 key performance indicators for longevity: 3 markers that predict how long and how well we can live. I lost fat and built muscle, without starving myself and without doing hours and hours of cardio. I went from 24% to 19% body fat (ideal for women) and built 3 lbs of muscle mass in 3 months. With my 3-step process, I am now 5.5 lbs of muscle stronger than I was 12 months ago and have my best body ever. At 43, I feel and look better than at 23. And I’m here to give you all the keys to do the same. In this podcast, I will give you actionable tips to use your biology to get results and create a sustainable lifestyle for a longer and healthier life. So, listen up if you want to say goodbye to the stubborn belly, look younger, be stronger and get extra life. Ready to take action?

082 Why you are working out more than ever and still gaining weight: the 3 most common strength training mistakes
2026/10/19
Are you in your 40s,  working out more than ever and still gaining weight in midsection even if you are doing it all? You are trying to eat more protein, and honestly, you are EXHAUSTED, and on top of that you are not seeing the results with your body. You know its not working. You know something might be missing but you don’t know what that is. In this episode I share the 3 common mistakes I see people make over 40, especially my ladies, that could explain why you have never tried so hard and got so little to show for. These 3 mistakes are things that can easily go unnoticed and that may be quietly sabotaging all the effort and time you put in your strength training. If you find that you are making any of these mistakes, I share the easy solution that can make the difference between exhausting yourself for nothing and finally losing belly fat and losing weight.  My Healthy Meals coaching call is designed to help you fix mistake #3. I would love to support you with it: Book here https://calendly.com/jihanefarrell/healthy-meals-coaching-call If you want to know how to eat enough protein, when, and what to eat to lose belly fat, and start to be consistent with healthy eating so you can finally see the results, I invite you to book a Healthy Meals Coaching call.  I will help you create a simple plan to start eating well consistently.

081 Do you really have no time to work out or is it an excuse? 7 strategies to fit strength training for the busy mom in her 40s
2026/10/12
You are a woman over 40 with a job, a business, kids and their activities, and you know this is the time to invest in your health, in particular, strength training.  But between the meal prep, the work hours, the kids schooling and activities and being a wife, it feels like there isn't enough hours in a day. I totally get it. Life is full and your schedule is packed. But is it really that you don't have time to work out, or could it be an excuse? Mama, let's have a loving straight talk today okay? In this episode we check in to see if it is an excuse we are using because it's uncomfortable to change - and really difficult to turn something new into a routine -  or if it really is a lack of time.  So today, I share 7 (not 3, not 5 but 7) strategies to make strength training fit in your packed schedule as a busy mom, so that you find a way to workout, to lift weight, to get stronger, and to change your body composition for less body fat and more muscle so you can look bangin' in a bikini,...  But most of all, so you can rise to be the strong and active mama you want to be way in your old age. Are you with me? Press play for the 7 strategies to fit strength training in your busy schedule AND do a mindset check.  When I decided that "no time to workout" was an excuse, I finally got out of my own way and got insanely consistent at the gym.    And remember: strength training without the proper nutrition will NOT get you the results you are desiring. Losing belly fat and building muscle and creating a toned defined look happens when you feed yourself properly. So if you want to know how to eat enough protein, when, and what to eat to lose belly fat, and start to be consistent with healthy eating so you can finally see the results, I invite you to book a Healthy Meals Coaching call.  I will help you create a simple plan to start eating well consistently.

079 Stop running so much! Why you need strength training if you want to lose weight over 40
2026/09/28
I keep thinking about this man I coached a few weeks ago who wants to lose weight and has not been able to. He said to me: “I was joking with my children and telling them that according to my app, with the calories I eat I should even exist” Wow when you think about the hidden meaning behind that, it hits. He was working on eating less, trying to do less carbs, running all week, not sleeping well. And despite the fact that it wasn’t working, that the weight would not let off, he just kept doubling down on eating less and restricting. I see this pattern so often and today I want you to hear me say what I tell people I coach. This approach to weight loss isn’t working. Not only that but it is exhausting you, depleting you, and causing the opposite of what you’re looking for, This episode is for all of you who are pushing harder, constantly trying to restrict calories and trying to run your body into disintegration. I am so passionate about showing you a better way. A way to STRENGTH and not shrinkage. A way to eating more of the food that does you good. A way to exercise that leads to being healthier as you get older. And a way that makes you look better. So, lets talk about why you NEED strength training: - for longevity and healthspan - for a faster metabolism - for getting stronger - for a leaner physique - for the toned definition you want - for confidence And friend, strength training alone will not result in the body you want. But strength training with consistency in eating healthy, high-protein meals will. If you are done trying to eat less, you feel exhausted and not getting in better shape, go to https://bit.ly/Healthymealscall to book a chat with me. In this one-hour one-on-one call we will: - identify your consistency blockers and create a solution specific to you - calculate your target daily protein and make a simple plan for you to reach it - talk about what to eat to lose belly fat Create a simple plan to eat well consistently, book here https://bit.ly/Healthymealscall See you there!

072 Struggling with consistency with healthy eating? 3 ways your mindset is keeping you stuck
2026/08/31
When it comes to eating well, eating enough protein and fibers to lose weight or stay healthy, the key is consistency.  Eating nutritious foods daily.  For people in their 40s, with a busy life, juggling carreer, family and health, this takes intentional effort.  The proper tools - like those I am giving away in the Consistent Healthy Eating Workshop on September 17th - can help us make consistent healthy eating easier. But sometimes, what comes in the way of consistency is our mindsets: our beliefs or perception of ourselves.  Today I share 3 ways mindsets keep us stuck in cycles of starting over, good days and bad days with foods and even going from extreme dieting to very unhealthy choices for our bodies. And in this episode, you will also get the reframes for these mindsets. Not because you have to follow a strict diet. Not because you should eat clean 100% of the time.  Not because you have to stick to a complicated mealplan. But because you deserve to give yourself the gift or nutritious, nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body and lead to losing fat while holding on or building muscle.  Because your body will not start changing until you become consistent at giving it what it needs to feel safe, let go of belly fat and build up strength.  With consistency in healthy meals, a high-protein, high-fiber diet, you can finally trim down and get toned. Today we look at the beliefs and ways to look at yourself that can be why you can't seem to be consistent with healthy habits and healthy eating.   In my FREE live workshop on Thursday, September 17th, I will share tools to make consistent healthy eating effortless for busy moms in their 40s who want to lose belly fat: - a simple structure for your meals - one sustainable habit to become dangerously consistent - exactly what to eat to lose belly fat and build muscle - DOOR PRIZES: I have 2 gifts that will help you stay consistent   Save your spot here: https://jihanefarrell.kit.com/consistent I cannot wait to see you!
