When Kiki Hurwitt's wellness and emotional health were not where she wanted them to be, she chose action over surrender, embarking on an incredible quest toward fitness that transformed her life. Have you ever considered that maybe your greatest victories lie ahead, no matter your age? 

Kiki's candid discussion on her battle with pre-diabetes and high cholesterol opens a window into the power of determination and how visual affirmations, like progress photos, can radically shift self-perception. She embodies the spirit of the fearless warrior in all of us, proving that midlife can indeed be redefined.

True health goes beyond shedding pounds; it's about nurturing strength within. Join me as we unravel Kiki's steps to success, which involved meticulous attention to diet, understanding the essentials of muscle maintenance, and the surprising mental marathon of reverse dieting. We also discuss the common dietary misconceptions that trap so many women.

Kiki, alongside her coach Michelle MacDonald and inspired by the journey of Joan MacDonald, brings to light the life-changing benefits of personalized fitness guidance.
But what's a hero without her tribe? Kiki's story takes on a new dimension with the unwavering support of her family and an online community that became her fitness fellowship. 

From the shared triumphs with her bonus daughter to her husband's own remarkable weight loss, Kiki paints a vivid picture of how communal strength can be the wind beneath our transformational wings. And as she shares under the banner of @thelykkeviking on Instagram, we see a life teeming with self-love, positivity, and the thrill of chasing new horizons, no matter the season of life.

A Complimentary Connection Zoom with Sarah Adele 

This podcast is produced by Nikki Voxx from Quintessential Being.

Here is a statistic for you.  The average 45 year-old woman has been on 61 diets since the age of sixteen.  This brought me back to the 1980s and 90s, the era of dexatrim, Ayds Candies, and Slim Fast.  As a side note, the active ingredient in Ayds Candies and Dexatrim was the decongestant, phenylpropanolamine, which can be found in many cold medicines today.  I almost forgot about fen-phen.  Remember all the heart and legal issues with that drug?  Then there were the popular, fad diets, such as the Cabbage Soup Diet, Beverly Hills, Scarsdale, and Grapefruit Diet, to name a few.  

It was actually simpler back then.  Doing lots of cardio (OMG, the aerobics and step class craze) and starving yourself was the secret sauce, which we know is not a long-term strategy for anyone, especially us midlife gals.  Diet culture is still alive and well, but today, we have to sift through all the stuff on social media, when all we want is the truth and straight answers in how we manage a body that we may no longer recognize.  This is why I asked Jenn Huber to be a guest on the podcast.

Jenn is a Registered Dietician, Naturopathic Doctor, podcaster, and intuitive eating advocate, who provides health and hormone education to women in midlife without a side of diet culture.

She knows exactly what we are going through, and she wants to help you make peace with food, your body, and menopause so you can find the confidence you deserve in this great stage of life.

Dr. Cristyn Watkins provides a detailed explanation of the various body contouring options available at aNu. CoolSculpting is a popular treatment that freezes fat and provides permanent results. It can treat various areas of the body including the abdomen, thighs, and arms. 

CoolTone, on the other hand, uses EMS for muscular contraction and is great for abs, booty, and thighs. Results are seen after eight sessions. Dr. Watkins emphasizes that personalized consultation is crucial for body contouring. This is because each patient needs a customized approach that best suits their needs. 

Additionally, medical weight loss is an option for those who are not quite ready for body contouring. Other body contouring options at aNu include Evolve, Morpheus, Sculptra, PRP breast lift, and threading. However, these options are dependent on the right candidate, and choosing the right practice is critical.

HIGHLIGHTS

DR. WATKINS: CONSULTING FIRST IS VERY CRITICAL

“You have to go to the right practice that's going to tell you if you're an appropriate candidate or not. I think that's really, really critical. Don't go somewhere where they're just going to treat everybody that walks in the door. Okay, we absolutely turn patients away from body contouring because they're not the right patient because they're not going to get a good result. And that's not what we want. We want patients to be really happy.”

Episode Introduction

Welcome to the Audio Signals Podcast; today's episode features an exciting conversation with Andy Clark, a philosopher and cognitive scientist from the University of Sussex. Andy's interests lie in understanding how minds work, and in this episode, we discuss his new book, The Experience Machine. The book delves into how our minds predict and shape reality and how we can control our predictions to a certain extent.

We start by exploring the idea that brains are prediction machines, and everything that our brains do can be understood by thinking of them as in the business of making predictions, not just about the world outside but also about our own bodies and future activities. As we discuss the premise of the book, we ponder over the question of how much control we have over our predictions and how much control others have over them. Andy's response to this is intriguing - we probably have a bit more control than we think, but not as much as we'd like.

We also explore the science and technology that allow Andy and others to bring this theory upfront. Andy shares that we're well beyond the stage of it just being a kind of idea. It's now a well-worked-out computational story about how predictions and sensory evidence are balanced by different bits of our brains. The theory is pretty well dominant, and we're hitting both the bases of having a theory and showing that brains like ours can actually do it.

So, sit back and enjoy this exciting conversation that will change the way you think about your mind, your predictions, and your reality. Don't forget to share and subscribe to the podcast, and invite your friends and family to join in on the fascinating journey of exploration and discovery.

About the Book

Widely acclaimed philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark unpacks this provocative new theory that the brain is a powerful, dynamic prediction engine, mediating our experience of both body and world. From the most mundane experiences to the most sublime, reality as we know it is the complex synthesis of sensory information and expectation. Exploring its fascinating mechanics and remarkable implications for our lives, mental health, and society, Clark nimbly illustrates how the predictive brain sculpts all human experience. Chronic pain and mental illness are shown to involve subtle malfunctions of our unconscious predictions, pointing the way towards more effective, targeted treatments. Under renewed scrutiny, the very boundary between ourselves and the outside world dissolves, showing that we are as entangled with our environments as we are with our onboard memories, thoughts, and feelings. And perception itself is revealed to be something of a controlled hallucination.

Unveiling the extraordinary explanatory power of the predictive brain, The Experience Machine is a mesmerizing window onto one of the most significant developments in our understanding of the mind.
