👋 About This Channel
I’m Nikki, midlife mom of three boys, certified health coach, and someone who’s lived the chaos you’re in right now. I was eating clean, counting calories, doing cardio, and once I hit my 40s, none of it worked. I felt inflamed, exhausted, and stuck with stubborn belly fat that nothing touched. That’s when I ditched quick fixes and started focusing on what actually works in midlife: real food, strength training that builds you up (not burns you out), and simple strategies that fit real life.

This channel is for midlife women who want fat loss, energy, and confidence back, without overhauling their life or chasing perfection.
