Summary
What if everything you've been told about aging is wrong - and your best body is actually waiting for you after 50? In this game-changing episode, I sit down with an incredible woman, Alicia Erickson, who shattered every expectation about midlife by quitting alcohol, ditching CrossFit for heavy weights, and getting absolutely shredded at 50. Her transformation started with a painful realization: the nightly wine ritual that helped her cope with stress had become a prison for her body that she couldn't escape. Despite being active her entire life - marathons, triathlons, years of CrossFit - her body was betraying her as she entered midlife.
Alicia shares the shocking truth about how increasing her protein intake transformed her hunger, why she had to stop doing cardio to finally see results, and the exact "midlife trifecta" that helped her lose 15 pounds and completely recomp her body. From struggling with 4-5 nights of drinking per week to becoming someone who deadlifts heavy and feels better than she did at 30, and the transformation didn't stop with her! Her husband watched her dedication for a year before joining her journey, dropping 60 pounds and getting off blood pressure medication. Proof that midlife can be your launch pad, not your limitation.
