As a woman ages her sense of responsibility increases. She often shoulders the burden of maintaining everyone in her support system. So, much so her own physical health doesn’t become a priority. As women their ability to lose weight becomes more challenging. According to the National Institute of Health: For women weight gain coexists with a decline in lean mass. The proportion of lean mass is positively associated with BMR, a component of energy expenditure. Slow metabolic rate in menopausal women decreases their capacity to effectively burn calories promoting a positive calorie balance.
Kim Rahir, is a health coach for middle aged women helping them to drop weight, get strong and boost energy by leveraging muscle mass and mindset work.
Her story offers inspiration and insight through her personal path of being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 10 years ago before she turned 50, and winning a European Masters Weightlifting Championship this year. Her story has inspired her to show women how muscle (building and maintaining) can be a health elixir and sometimes a road to salvation - once they have embraced the idea of becoming strong and that it’s not a pursuit exclusive to men. The thing is that many midlife women think it’s too late - it never is. It’s her mission to spread that message of hope.
“I’m a former journalist turned health coach, a survivor of MS turned European Champion in Master Weightlifting - and on a mission to help middle aged women embrace muscle and strength as the one-stop-shop solution for a host of health problems often from our thirties onwards. My approach is to turn scientific knowledge about human health into actionable tool kits for everyday life.” She joined me this week to tell me more.
