Synopsis

This is a fascinating, story of an adventuresome woman who overcame a difficult childhood and juvenile diabetes complications where she wasn’t going to live past 40. She received an experimental double organ transplant which cured the diabetes at 34, but a triple cardiac bypass and thyroidectomy were to follow. Despite this, at age 62 she transformed her body, mind, and spirit through fitness. Weight loss was a side effect of her goal: optimal health. Switching this mindset from weight loss to health was key. Her energy levels were so high, and her physique was so transformed, she decided to compete in a bodybuilding contest at age 64.

Julia Linn, like so many women, spent years putting her value on the bathroom scale. She tried every diet she could only to fail and slip back to an unhealthy weight after months of restrictive eating. Eventually, she gave up but still “ate healthy” and walked 3 miles a day. When menopause hit, her body took on a persona and shape she didn’t recognize. Bloated middle, sluggishness, brain fog, and a feeling of being over the hill once and for all.

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. At age 64, she would have been gifted thirty years of life by her organ donor, Gina, who died in a car accident.

This became her “why.” Why get fit? The misdirected goal of “losing weight’ was over. She began to love her body just the way it was. A mindset shift that made all the difference. Losing weight was a shallow goal born out of body disgust. This time the desire to get healthy was born out of gratitude for the gift of life.

She says menopausal women are in their Power Decades – wise, experienced, mentally strong but often last on the list for self-care. 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. No, it’s just changed and is asking for a different approach to mindset, nutrition and exercise.

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. Many post-menopausal women think it’s not possible, Julia proves that it is.
