Nina HodgsonNina Hodgson was born in Livingston, Montana, into a family where both parents worked in the health and nutrition field. As a child, she loved running around by the lake and hiking with her family.From a young age, she found nutrition interesting. Sh would frequently sit for hours talking with her parents about their work, and the three of them would share ideas. And it was no surprise when she went to college and earned a degree in Masters Nutritional Education.For most of her life, Nina struggled with her weight. She followed the food pyramid guidelines, making sure she ate the recommended serving sizes and worked out 30 minutes a day. While this seemed logical, it did not always leave her feeling, her best, and her weight would still fluctuate. Nothing seemed to work, and Nina was becoming more and more discouraged and developed a love/hate relationship with food. She was tired of trying to deal with what the researchers recommended as a nutritional diet.As she entered her 40s and 50s, she found that there wasn't much information about nutrition for these ages. Nina knew that the same nutrition guidelines would not work for women in their 50s as they did for women in their 20s and 30s. Helping women fifty and older became her new goal.Women over 50, like all people, must find a diet that they can maintain long term. When choosing a diet, look for one that suits your personal needs. Are you trying to lose weight? Do you want to feel better? Do you want a healthier lifestyle, or do you simply want to maintain your energy levels as you age?Nina discovered that there are specific dietary needs for women over 50: in her books, she touched on how intermittent fasting works in detail.The short answer to this is a daily diet where you fast for a specific amount of time and eat in a particular amount of time. During the eating time, you do not gorge yourself but instead, focus on eating healthy.Intermittent fasting can help to reduce your chances of various health problems. Obesity is the cause of many health problems.By losing weight and regulating insulin, it may lower your chance of having heart-related disorders and diabetes.Since being on IF herself, she uses the 16:8 fasting plan: this is simply fasting for 16 hours and eating for 8. While this sounds difficult, the majority of the time, you are sleeping. She now feels good about herself, her weight is no longer fluctuating, and she has energy.In her books Nina describes all her experiences and uses her knowledge. All this has given her authority to recommend IF plans to all women over 50. You will take the right direction, step-by-step, without having to hire expensive health coaches.Nina is married with 2 adult children, Oliver and Lucas, and 1 grandchild, Benjamin. She believes there is nothing better than being a grandmother. She still lives in Livingston, Montana, and owns 2 acres, which they use to grow fresh fruit and vegetables.She learned from all her research the importance of fresh, whole foods instead of processed foods that are high in chemicals.In her spare time she enjoys taking long walks with her grandchild and cooking healthy recipes with fruits and vegetables of her harvest!
