In this empowering episode of The Health Triad by Nataliya, I sit down with fitness and nutrition coach Anais Zanotti to challenge the outdated “no pain, no gain” mindset and explore what really works—especially for women in their 40s and beyond.

We talk about:

· Why motivation is not the answer (and what actually builds consistency)

· Smart training strategies for women going through perimenopause and menopause

· How to safely stay active—even through injury

· The importance of stress management, muscle-building, and personalized approaches

· And the often-overlooked power of warm-ups, cooldowns, and daily habits

Anais also shares her own healing journey with autoimmune conditions and why training smarter—not harder—is the key to lasting wellness.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, feeling stuck with your fitness routine, or just trying to feel like yourself again, this episode will remind you: you don’t need perfect. You need a plan that works for your life.

🎧 Tune in now and let’s rewrite what strong looks like—together.
