In this episode of The StrongHER Way, Alisha Carlson pulls back the curtain on why so many women feel stuck in their fitness journey—especially after 30. She tackles the three biggest roadblocks: protein, motivation, and outdated weight loss strategies that just don’t work anymore. If you’ve been eating “clean,” working out hard, and still not seeing the results you want—this episode is your wake-up call.

We’re ditching diet culture and rewriting the rules on fat loss, strength training, and what it really means to be healthy.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why protein is the most underrated nutrition hack for women
  • How to plan meals that keep you full, energized, and strong
  • The myth of motivation—and why discipline and systems matter more
  • How aging and hormones affect fat loss (and what to do about it)
  • Why muscle is your metabolic gold and calorie counting is a waste of time
  • How to train smarter, not harder—and finally see results
  • The role of rest, recovery, and strategic strength training
  • Why your health habits are shaping your kids' future too

This episode is for you if:

  • You’re a busy woman over 30 struggling with fat loss
  • You feel like you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing results
  • You’re ready to stop chasing motivation and start building momentum
  • You want fitness to feel sustainable, not like another job
