About this podcast
The Midlife Method with Cam Allen® is your go-to podcast for navigating menopause and life beyond with strength, energy, and confidence.
Hey there, I'm Cam Allen, an integrative nutrition, health and fitness coach, NLP Master Practitioner, and hypnosis practitioner. I help women 45+ feel strong, healthy, and confident in their changing bodies.
Here's what I've learned after years of coaching women in midlife. There's a whole lot more to feeling healthy than what you eat and how you exercise.
Your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and even your energy influence how you feel, the choices you make, and the habits you keep.
That's why we talk about all four bodies: physical, mental, emotional, and energetic.
Each week, we'll dig into practical strategies for strength training, nutrition, hormones, sleep, stress, and recovery. We'll also explore mindset, subconscious beliefs, and how tools like NLP and hypnosis can help you change old patterns that keep you starting over.
Expect real conversations, a little tough love, plenty of encouragement, and simple ideas you can actually use in your everyday life.
Because you deserve to feel strong, healthy, and comfortable in your body at every age.
I'm so glad you're here. Welcome to The Midlife Method.
