Start Where You Are - Stop Thinking, Start Doing: Recent Episodes
Kim Lloyd & Susan Donaher
A podcast dedicated to helping you make the leap from knowing what you need to be doing, to actually doing what you need to be doing.
Not just menopause.
Perimenopause.
Post-menopause.
In this episode, I welcome my friend, physical therapist and fellow coach Allison Poole to the show to discuss all things (most things) related to menopause and weight loss.
Allison addresses some of the more common questions women have around losing weight in midlife, including specific strategies you can implement that will help if losing weight is one of your goals.
Hint: Strength training is one of those things...
I always find my conversations with Allison to be so informative and I think you will too. If you're not already following her on social media, you can find her instagram here, and you can also visit her website here.

We all have our own expectations of what our 100% looks like. Sometimes, that innate need to show up at 100% or not at all can get in the way when we're trying to establish habits in an imperfect world.

A listener asked a very important question after listening to our last episode on the benefits of strength training - can you reverse the effects of Sarcopenia, which is the loss of muscle mass that begins in your 30's and starts increasing at a more rapid rate in your 60's and beyond.
So I set out to answer that question in this episode.

Did you know, that right now, as you are reading this podcast description, you are losing muscle mass (if you are over 40 years old)? It's true. It is estimated that people lose about one percent of their lean muscle mass per year after the age of 40.
In this episode, Kim and Sue discuss the multiple benefits of strength training, and one of the biggest boons is that you need to use your muscles to avoid losing it.
Strength training also increases your bone density, can improve your metabolism (muscle burns calories), help improve brain health, help with weight management, and just make you feel like a general bad ass.
If you are local to the Portland, Maine area and would like to get started, Kim is hosting a beginner's strength training workshop on November 19th. Visit this link for more information and to sign up.
And if you're not local to Maine, but would like a kickstart to get you going, you can purchase Kim's beginner's book on strength training here.
What does it mean to be living your best life?
We say it about our pets all of the time - I mean who doesn't want to come back as their dog next time around? But we rarely say it about ourselves or even other human beings. In the inaugural episode of Start Where You Are, online personal trainer and nutrition coach Kim Lloyd and co-host Susan Donaher discuss what it means to follow your curiosity and live your best life.
"I know what I need to be doing, I'm just not doing it."
-You, probably.
You decide you want to adopt a new exercise routine. Or change your nutrition approach - but no matter how many times you try, you just can't seem to make the new habits stick. In each new podcast, coaches Kim Lloyd and Sue Donaher, who share decades of experience in coaching behavior change, will help you discover new strategies to help you get from knowing to doing.
