Fit and Strong, Podcast

What if living a longer, healthier life has less to do with winning the genetic lottery and more to do with the choices we make? In episode 197 of the Fit Strong Women Over 50 podcast, Chris and Maria take a closer look at cardiologist and scientist Dr. Eric Topol’s recent appearance on NPR’s TED Radio Hour, How to be a “Super Ager” (it’s not your genes.) Dr. Topol discusses the science—and the myths—surrounding longevity and anti-aging. His central message is an important one: rather than focusing simply on lifespan, we should be paying more attention to healthspan—the years we live in good health and free from major age-related diseases. Chris and Maria discuss some of the ideas that stood out to them, including lifestyle, sleep, exercise, nutrition,...

Motivation

Years ago, I was very inspired by Roni Noone, who was a weight-loss workout blogger and media creator. She still is a blogger. I started following her around 2008 or so. Then she grew her platform enormously through books, videos, conferences, and more. I even met her a couple of times at her "Fit Bloggin'" conferences in Maryland. She is still very active online, but I haven't kept up with her. One of the concepts she created and repeated often was "WYCWYC." It means "Do What You Can When You Can."

Download Episode 196 We have some exciting news to share! If you listened to our Spring Break episode, you know that we asked if anyone would like to join us as a cohost on this podcast. After 8 years, we had been feeling a bit fatigued with producing our podcast so we were delighted when Maria Molvin contacted us and said she was interested in joining the Becoming Elli team.  It’s actually rather nice to be a team instead of just two of us. You may remember that we interviewed Maria in April 2024, just over two years ago. You can check out episode 152 if you want to hear that discussion. Maria and Jill worked together earlier in our careers, so they've known each other a long time. ...

#195 Spring Break Download | Play in New WindowIn our Spring Break episode, we discuss the switch from soups to salads, getting outside for exercise and new beginnings. Spring is in the air, and we’re feeling energized to shake things up—both in and out of the kitchen. Chris shares the excitement (and learning curve!) of getting a new bike and figuring out all its features, while Jill has been enjoying time on her e-bike and the freedom it brings to get outside more. Staying active doesn’t have to look the same every season, and we’re both leaning into what feels fun right now. Speaking of fun, Chris talks about why she’s been line dancing every chance she gets—it’s a great way to move, laugh, and connect. Jill is feeling...
