Session 5: Beyond the Plate

The food logging? Still not happening. But here's the thing—Joanna's body has figured itself out anyway. She naturally stops eating by seven, doesn't want anything but coffee until ten or eleven, and the three o'clock slump that used to flatten her? Gone. Now five o'clock rolls around and she's surprised the day is already over.

So this session, she's ready to talk about something new: movement.

Danna breaks down the basics—strength training matters more than cardio, especially for women as they age. Muscle protects bones, supports metabolism, and keeps everything working. But it doesn't have to mean a gym or dumbbells (which her kids would immediately claim as toys anyway).

Joanna already knows what works for her: Pilates. It's the thing that made her chronic back pain disappear. She just needs to find a class and commit.

The goal? Research studios. Find a time that sticks. Show up.

This is session five of Joanna's health journey.
