Ep 586: Building Beautiful Muscle with Kim Rahir

Published: Nov. 22, 2023, 5:30 a.m.

Are you interested in a more natural way of living? \xa0Have you been worried about the quality of your food? In this episode I talk with Kim Rahir. Kim is a 60 year old mother of three who was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago and decided to ignore her then doctor's advice and muscle her way back to a happy life. This year she became European Champion in Masters Weightlifting in her age and weight category. Her journey inspired her to leave her career in journalism in her 50s and become a health coach for middle aged women - with a big focus on reactivating and rebuilding muscle. She helps women start strength training wherever they are at and get rid of diet culture conditioning to eat to nourish and flourish. We discuss weightlifting for women, and why it\u2019s considered such a masculine thing. We also discuss the importance of building muscle and keeping yourself healthy and injury free.
