    Memorable Quotes:

    "There is not enough research out there to help us perform optimally, avoid injuries, to avoid fatigue and exhaustion from our exercise. In fact, just to feel better. There's not enough. We're being asked to follow programs that were made based on science on men. So how well is that going to work for us?" [00:07:36] – Debra Atkinson

    "Realize that even the people who are experts in mindset and mindfulness can sometimes fall into that trap themselves. We can't see it when we're in the frame, but there's also a way out of that and you'll learn, huh, that's the value of community, but it's probably not because you're going to focus on the fat loss and the burning of calories. You're going to focus on stabilizing your hormones." [00:29:10] – Debra Atkinson

    Memorable Quotes:

    "And so that was really, really important, keeping that curiosity, because we've seen as people get older, they stay stuck. They are not curious about meeting new people. ‘Oh, I have my circle of friends. I don't need to go out and meet new people. I don't need to learn new things. I have my hobbies that I had for many years.’ But learning new things is always wonderful." [00:06:31] – Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

    "Health coaches—it's completely what we call client-centered. It means that rather than meeting with someone who's the expert telling you what to do, they're going to listen. They're trained in listening. And we all need to feel heard and understood and have that ally. And they'll help you start with wherever you want to start. " [00:33:00] – Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum
