Q&A: Midlife Questions on Weight Goals, Strength Training, Energy Lows, Hormones & Health Answered!

In this episode of The Fit Positive Podcast, I’m answering your questions — exactly as you sent them — covering some of the most common challenges women face in midlife when it comes to weight, training, energy, nutrition and hormones. We talk through how to set realistic health goals, why hunger and exhaustion are often signs of under-fuelling or under-recovery (not lack of willpower), how to train and eat in a way that supports your changing body, and how to cut through the noise online with evidence-based guidance that actually works in real life. This is a practical, reassuring episode designed to help you feel more confident in your choices — without falling into extremes or fads. In this episode, we cover: How GPs assess healthy weight using BMI and why body fat percentage matters more in midlife How to structure meals across long days to avoid constant hunger and energy crashes Why I moved away from a fully plant-based diet and what I prioritise now Whether tea and coffee count towards hydration What massive fatigue, poor appetite and stalled progress are really telling you How to balance strength training and endurance training in midlife Smart alternatives when daily steps are hard to hit Evidence-based sauna guidelines for health and recovery The difference between helpful inflammation and chronic low-grade inflammation Whether macros matter as much as calories Where to start if you feel weak or can’t yet do basic strength exercises Why skin health often improves when lifestyle foundations improve Easy ways to take creatine beyond protein coffee Why menopause belly is common — even in fit women — and what actually helps Simple, effective ways to build core strength without overcomplicating it If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing everything right” but still struggling with energy, body composition or consistency — this episode is for you. 💪 Join Fit Positive Fit Positive is my online membership for women in midlife who want to build strength, improve health, and feel confident in their bodies — without extremes.
