Join us in this episode as we welcome Amy Wilson, a Board-Certified Geriatric Pharmacist, certified fitness professional, and nutrition coach using the FASTer Way to Fat Loss platform. Amy is a passionate advocate for utilizing nutrition and fitness to prevent and reverse diseases.

Drawing from her personal and professional experiences, Amy shares the transformative power of diet and exercise in changing lives, highlighting the importance of tailored nutritional programs.

Amy addresses overlooked factors impacting midlife women's health, such as insulin resistance due to declining estrogen levels, and offers insights into optimizing nutrition, strength training, stress management, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and understanding insulin's role in weight management and muscle health.
