FIT4HER Unplugged: Fat Loss, Hormones, and Reinvention for Women Over 40

About FIT4HER Unplugged: Fat Loss, Hormones, and Reinvention for Women Over 40

You've spent decades building a life. Your career, family, and health…you've shown up for it all. And somewhere in your 40s or 50s, you started noticing that what used to work no longer does. Your body feels different. Your energy isn't there. You're not sure who you are outside of the roles you've been playing. And nobody seems to be talking about it all at once. Fit4Her is a podcast for women in midlife who are ready to stop waiting to feel like themselves again. We'll answer questions like: What should I eat in perimenopause and menopause? How do I balance my hormones naturally? How do I get my energy back in midlife? How do I find my purpose in midlife? How do I deal with teenagers while going through menopause? Is it too late to change careers in my 40s or 50s? How do I rebuild my life after divorce? How do I stop feeling invisible as I get older? Hosted by Karen Gallagher, Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Strength and Conditioning Coach with 30 years of experience, this show delivers what most health and wellness content never does: honest, whole-life guidance that covers your body, your mindset, your relationships, and your sense of purpose, without the extremes, the all-or-nothing pressure, or the advice that was never built for a woman at this stage of life. No single corner of midlife gets left out. Fitness, hormones, identity, relationships, career, empty nest, divorce, purpose - it's all here, and it's all connected. This show is for women who are done waiting to feel better and ready to actually do something about it. If that's you, Karen built this show for you. Learn more at https://karen-gallagher.com/home
