Heading off for a bit! 🌿✈️
I'm off on holiday from tomorrow to the Italian Dolomites and taking a proper break (yes, even from Skool!) — so I won't be around as much for the next week. But I wanted to plant a seed before I go... I've been thinking a lot about strength training lately — and how much it matters for us in midlife. It's not just about muscle. It's about blood sugar stability, bone density, metabolism, and yes — that stubborn "menopause middle" so many of us are dealing with. Dr Stacy Sims's research has been a big influence on how I think about this, and I want to bring some of that into the community in a way that's accessible, not intimidating. So when I'm back, I'm considering running a simple strength training challenge to help us get started (or restarted) — nothing scary, just practical, doable moves you can build into your week. Would this be something you'd want to join? 👇 Drop a comment too if there's anything specific you'd want it to cover (kit-free? time of day? beginner-friendly?) — I'll be reading replies while I'm away and it'll help shape the challenge. See you in a week! 💛

🌿 This one's for you, Bernie — and for every woman who's been wondering why their body feels so different after 50...
A couple of weeks ago @Bernie Williams asked me a question during her nutrition audit call that stopped me in my tracks — "Jackie, what do you think about fascia release for weight loss?" I'll be honest — my first instinct was "wellness fad." But I promised myself I'd dig into the science before opening my mouth. And what I found completely changed how I think about stiffness, bloating, and what's actually happening in our bodies at menopause. So I made a video. 🎬 And if you've been experiencing any of these lately: ✅ Waking up stiff and achy — even without obvious injury ✅ Joints and tendons that feel tighter than they used to ✅ Bloating that doesn't always seem connected to what you ate ✅ Skin that's lost some of its elasticity and bounce ✅ That general feeling that your body just doesn't move like it used to ...then this video is going to explain why — with the actual science behind it. And I think some of it will genuinely surprise you. 👉 Watch it here: https://youtu.be/KeNyPNQFyKU Or you can read it on my blog here https://www.nourishfitmove.com/why-you-feel-stiffer-achier-and-more-bloated-after-50 This is Episode 1 of a full series I'm building on fascia — we go deeper on the gut connection, the weight and metabolism piece, and a full practical toolkit across the coming episodes. Drop a comment and let me know — how many of those symptoms do you recognise? 👇 Jackie x
