Welcome to Unstoppable After 40, my weekly newsletter where I reveal cutting-edge tips to get fit in your 40s & 50s while growing your business or career.

What's in store for today:

• How to get fitter, leaner and more energetic this year in 2025
• Can eating more protein help you lose weight? (New Study)
• My go-to exercise for long hours of sitting

Today's issue is brought to you by Unstoppable After 40 Coaching Program. We help entrepreneurs, executives, and business owners to get fit in their 40s & 50s while growing their businesses and enjoying their lifestyle (in less than 2 hours per week).

I hit rock bottom when I was 19.

I was grieving the loss of my younger brother and stuck in a cycle of pain and hopelessness.

One day, a friend invited me to the gym. At first, I thought, “Now is not the time to get back into the gym.”

But I went anyway.

That first workout didn’t change everything. But it sparked something. For the first time, I felt a small sense of control.

Over the months, that small spark grew. Movement, better food, and simple habits began to rebuild not just my body, but my mindset. I became stronger—inside and out.

That journey taught me a life-changing lesson:

You don’t need to have the perfect plan or feel ready to start. You just have to take one small step. That’s it. Because the smallest actions—done consistently—lead to the biggest transformations.

So, as you start 2025, ask yourself this...

What’s one small step you can take today? Walk for 10 minutes? Replace soda with water? Commit to yourself?

Whatever it is, start now.

It’s never too late to change your body, your health, or your life. The version of you who’s stronger, healthier, and more confident is waiting.

Take the first step.

The rest will follow.

​2- Can eating more protein help you lose weight? (New Study)

For years, I’ve taught the importance of the thermogenic effect of protein—the extra calories your body burns during digestion.

But new research is challenging this idea.

A recent meta-analysis, Effects of Varying Protein Amounts and Types on Diet-Induced Thermogenesis, reveals that while protein does increase calorie burn, the effect is smaller than previously thought.

So, what does this mean for you?

While protein is still essential for muscle maintenance, satiety, and overall health, don’t overestimate its impact on fat loss. It’s a reminder that the basics—calorie balance, strength training, and consistency still reign supreme
​

3- My go-to exercise for long hours of sitting

The kickstand deadlift is a perfect exercise for high-achievers looking to stay strong and injury-free.

It targets your glutes and hamstrings while improving balance and correcting muscle imbalances—essential for anyone spending long hours sitting or traveling.

Think of it as a more efficient way to strengthen your body, protect your joints, and move better in daily life.

It’s quick, effective, and fits right into a busy schedule.
