#42: Healing the Relationship With Food: Liz Kennedy's Journey to Finding Her Strong

In this episode of Muscle, Strength and Menopause, host Sara Frenza is joined by Coach Liz Kennedy, a certified nutrition coach, personal trainer, and expert coach inside the Hourglass Body Method. Liz spent 33 years as a social worker helping others, but spent two decades trapped in the toxic cycle of extreme restriction, guilt, and body dysmorphia. She shares her transformative journey of finding CrossFit in her 40s, touching a barbell for the first time, and discovering that fueling her body and building muscle was the ultimate key to physical and mental freedom.

Today, you will learn on how to break free from the 80s/90s toxic diet culture mindset of shrinking yourself and turn exercise into an empowering act of self-care. You'll discover how lifting heavy weights and building muscle completely transforms your physique, boosts your confidence, and helps eliminate body dysmorphia and food guilt. We break down practical, real-world nutrition strategies—including Liz's expert meal prep systems, bowl-building framework, and prioritizing single-ingredient whole foods—to naturally crush cravings and keep you full. Finally, Liz shares how to navigate mental health shifts during menopause, why focusing on protein is your single biggest nutritional lever, and how to start building your "70-year-old body" today for lifelong independence.
