Many post-menopausal women think it\'s not possible, Julia proves that it is..
Anyone can do this at any age - get fit, feel great, be healthy, go from feeling over the hill to being on top of the hill.
No, it\'s just changed and is asking for a different approach to mindset, nutrition and exercise.
Her Story is inspiring and aimed directly at women ages 40 to 70, to show that their body is not broken, unworthy or over the hill.
She says menopausal women are in their Power Decades - wise, experienced, mentally strong but often last on the list for self-care.
This time the desire to get healthy was born out of gratitude for the gift of life.
Losing Weight was a shallow goal born out of body disgust.
A Mindset shift that made all the difference.
She began to love her body just the way it was.
Why get fit? The misdirected goal of losing weight\' was over.
This became her why.
At age 64, she would have been gifted thirty years of life by her organ donor, Gina, who died in a car accident.
At age 62 her special anniversary was coming up in two years: the miracle double organ transplant that extended her life way beyond doctor\'s expectations.
Bloated middle, sluggishness, brain fog, and a feeling of being over the hill once and for all.
When menopause hit, her body took on a persona and shape she didn\'t recognize.
Eventually, she gave up but still ate healthy and walked 3 miles a day.
She tried every diet she could only to fail and slip back to an unhealthy Weight After months of restrictive eating.
Julia Linn, like so many women, spent years putting her value on the bathroom scale.
Her energy levels were so high, and her physique was so transformed, she decided to compete in a bodybuilding contest at age 64.
Switching this Mindset from Weight Loss to Health was key.
Weight Loss was a side effect of her goal: optimal health.
Despite this, at age 62 she transformed her body, mind, and spirit through fitness.
She received an experimental double organ transplant which cured the diabetes at 34, but a triple cardiac bypass and thyroidectomy were to follow.
