#115: Why Intensity Feels Risky as You Age—And How to Make It Work for You (or Someone You Love) When You're Older | The How-To-Do Intensity Series: 1 of 3)

Critical Conversations about Women's Health & Wellness | Nutrition & Supplements | Holistic

Part 1 of the Intensity Series

In this three-part series, we’re unpacking one of the most powerful yet misunderstood tools in wellness: intensity. It’s key to rebuilding strength, protecting bones, boosting energy, and keeping your independence—but it works better when it’s matched to the season of life or health you’re in.

That’s why this couldn’t be a one-size-fits-all conversation. It had to be a series. Because what works for a 35-year-old won’t work for someone recovering from fatigue or managing chronic illness—and it definitely won’t work for the 70-year-old dealing with joint pain or slower recovery. If this is you or someone you deeply love, this conversation will change everything!

In Part 1, we're focus on older adults and what happens when your Energy Fuse—your body’s ability to handle effort and recover—starts to shift with age. You’ll learn:

• Why intensity is essential (not optional) after 60

• How to start training without soreness or setbacks to make intensity feel less risky.

• The science behind why your body needs longer rest—but still responds beautifully to the right kind of challenge

• And how to rebuild confidence, one gentle dial turn at a time.

You don’t need to go harder. You just need a better plan that respects your energy fuse and season of life. The results are beyond incredible.

This episode is for anyone over 60—or for anyone who is caring for someone who is over 60 and has a loved one in that age bracket. This conversation will help you stay strong, steady, and in control of your health without injury or burning out and getting weaker.
