Why is it so hard to stay consistent with the health habits we know are good for us? In this episode of Meet Your Body, Jessica breaks down the five keys that are essential to creating health habits you can actually stick with—without relying on willpower, guilt, or an unrealistic overhaul of your life.
She discusses how to find a meaningful why, keep things simple, make health habits fit into real life and busy schedules, evaluate whether what you're doing is actually working and learn to play the long game instead of expecting immediate results. Drawing from her own experiences and years of working with women as a physical therapist and movement teacher, Jessica offers a realistic and compassionate approach to consistency. If you’ve ever started strong only to get overwhelmed, fall off track, and wonder why you can’t just “be more disciplined,” this episode will help you approach health habits differently. You'll learn how to make them stick without all the overwhelm and complication and how to help your future self in the process.

It seems like everywhere we turn, there's another wellness trend promising to help us look younger, feel better, live longer or optimize our health. Full-body scans, peptides, weighted vests, skin treatments, supplements, hormone therapy—the list is endless!
Walking is one of the most accessible and beneficial forms of movement we have. But with all the current emphasis on strength training, lifting heavy and changing how we exercise as we age, many women are starting to wonder: Is walking actually enough?
“Toned” is one of the most common words in fitness. We are told we should want toned arms, toned legs and a toned stomach. We believe certain workouts will give us “long, lean muscles,” while heavier weights might make us “bulky.”
Women over 40 are hearing the message loud and clear: You need to strength train. You need to lift heavy. You need to build muscle.
How can we help kids grow up feeling safe, confident and connected to their bodies in a world that constantly tells them that looks and size determine their value?
