In this episode of the Forever Fit Podcast, I sit down with our head coach Sarah to talk about what real, sustainable fitness actually looks like. We break down why fad diets and extreme restriction often backfire, and how a whole-food plant-based approach can support better energy, digestion, and long-term health. We also dive into mindset, overcoming common food rules, building muscle as we age, and why accountability and coaching make such a big difference when it comes to staying consistent through life’s challenges.
