079: Comfort Food Is Not Your Friend: Why It’s Keeping You from Toned Arms
You might think that food is your comfort, your escape, maybe even your friend—but is it really supporting you?

You’ll learn:
The 5 qualities of true support—and why food doesn’t meet a single one
How comfort eating disconnects you from your goals and your body
What real friendship looks like (and how to offer it to yourself first)

077: Settling Isn't Strength: Why Your Arms Aren't Changing—And What To Do About It
Are you calling it "aging"... when you're really just settling?
In this episode of The Arm Coach Podcast, Kristine is pulling back the curtain on the real reasons your arms aren’t changing—no matter how many clean meals you eat or steps you track. If you’re over 50 and feeling tired, inflamed, or stuck in a soft body that no longer feels like yours, it might not be your age. It might be your habits, your mindset—and most of all, what you’ve accepted as “normal.”
Kristine walks you through the subtle but powerful ways women over 50 sabotage their physical progress: inconsistent strength training, poor recovery, under-fueling, and believing that puffiness, fatigue, and arm jiggle are just the price of getting older. They’re not.
You’ll learn:
Why “fine” is a dangerous place to live when it comes to your health
The science behind inflammation, recovery, and why your arms aren’t toning
How common habits—like skipping weights or under-eating protein—are keeping you soft and stuck
The difference between true aging and preventable decline
What to start doing today to reclaim your strength, energy, and confidence
If you’ve been settling for feeling “okay” and want strong, toned, powerful arms—this episode is your wake-up call.
