We all know that as we get a little older, it can be a little harder to stay in shape and prioritize ourselves and our health. When we get into our late 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, we have so many other priorities — kids, careers, whatever — and it can feel like we have no energy or time left for ourselves. My guest today has gone through this common problem herself and spent a lot of time thinking about how to help other women like her solve it. Michele Riechman is an online personal trainer and podcast host, and her whole focus is on practical health solutions for women over 40. Her training app features 30 minute exercises that even the busiest Moms can find time for. And, my favorite part, it introduces accountability. Michele herself checks on the progress of all her clients every week, and she can talk with people and adjust their plan as necessary.

Today’s episode is kind of a two-parter. After the conversation you are about to hear, Michele and I swapped places and she interviewed me about hormones, adrenal and thyroid health and all kinds of other stuff. To hear that, search for Michele’s podcast, called “Healthy Beyond 40.” While you are at it, I highly recommend you check out some of her other episodes as well. Just like on this podcast, she talks to both regular women and experts about all kinds of women’s health topics—gut health, hormones, weight loss, exercise, and more. When it comes to exercising on a tight schedule and developing a mindset for health and healing, Michele really is an expert herself, and I am excited for you all to hear from her.
