Why Compound Lifts Are a Game-Changer for Women 40+
In this episode, we're diving into the real powerhouse moves of strength training-compound lifts. I’ll break down exactly what they are, why they matter so much for women over 40, and how they can help you burn fat, build muscle, and boost your metabolism in less time. We’ll also talk about isolation exercises and why they often deliver little return for your effort, especially if you're juggling a busy life and want results that last. If you're ready to train smarter, not harder, this episode is your wake-up call.Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Why I’ve Been Gluten-Free For 6 Months (and What I’ve Noticed)
In this episode, I’m opening up about something I’ve never shared publicly: I’ve been gluten-free since the end of January, not because I think everyone should be, but because I started paying attention to how my body was feeling. I’ll walk you through the symptoms I was experiencing, how I made the shift, and the changes I’ve noticed since reducing gluten in my diet. If you’ve been dealing with fatigue, bloating, headaches, or gut issues and feel like “something is off,” this might be the episode that helps you tune in more closely to your own body.“Your body will whisper before it screams. Learn to listen to the whispers.”Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d
