Transforming Midlife Through Weightlifting: Kim Rahir’s Journey from MS to Master Athlete
In this episode of 'Mixing Up Midlife,' hosts Terri and Melissa explore the power of physical strength and mental resilience with their guest, Kim Rahir. Kim is a 60 year old mother of three who was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago and decided to ignore her 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. Today, she helps women tap into an abundant source of vitality by reactivating and maintaining their muscles, while ditching diet culture conditioning to actually eat to nourish and flourish.
