In this episode, Alisha Carlson opens up about her personal journey into fitness and the mindset shifts that helped her break free from obsessive dieting and perfectionism.

From years of body image struggles to discovering a healthier balance with clean eating and strength training, Alisha shares what truly moves the needle for women navigating midlife changes, hormonal shifts, and the pressures of weight loss.

You’ll hear an honest discussion about the rise of weight loss drugs, the misconceptions about clean eating, and how small, sustainable lifestyle changes can create lasting transformation.

This conversation will leave you feeling empowered, grounded, and ready to pursue health from a place of purpose. Not punishment.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why Alisha wasn’t always into fitness (and what finally shifted).
• The difference between clean eating for nourishment vs. control.
• How body acceptance is essential for mental and emotional well-being.
• What’s really happening during midlife and perimenopause (and how to work with your body).
• The truth about weight loss drugs and why they don’t fix root issues.
• How mindset and habits drive sustainable change.
• The connection between sleep, recovery, and metabolism.
• Why fueling your body well is part of fulfilling your life’s mission.
