Monday 24th February Business Briefing

Morning Check-In with Rachel

• Rachel greets the audience, checking in on how everyone is feeling about the week ahead.
• Encourages setting health and business goals for the coming days.

Facebook Live Videos Being Deleted – What to Do

• Facebook is removing old live videos starting in June.
• Rachel advises everyone to:
  • Download all past videos ASAP (best done on a laptop or desktop).
  • Store them on an external hard drive instead of paying for cloud storage.
  • Repurpose content using AI or manual editing—shorten clips, create reels, or turn them into lead magnets.
  • Re-upload old videos to YouTube as unlisted or back into Facebook groups.

Smart Social Media Content Creation

• AI is accelerating content creation, so staying active on social media is key.
• Quick content ideas:
  • Use B-roll footage (short clips with no sound, text overlays, and trending audio).
  • Take 10-second video snippets from workout sessions and repurpose them for Instagram or Facebook.

Health Topic: Intermittent Fasting & Cortisol

• Rachel discusses intermittent fasting (IF) and its impact on women over 50.
• Key concerns:
  • IF can increase cortisol (stress hormone), which may be counterproductive.
  • Skipping meals may disrupt blood sugar and worsen insulin resistance in menopausal women.
• Recommendations:
  • Instead of strict fasting, consume protein or a small snack in the morning.
  • Keep regular meal timings to avoid blood sugar spikes.

Creatine for Women’s Health & Performance

• Rachel opens a discussion about creatine supplementation for muscle mass and strength.
• Community input on best practices:
  • Some take it before workouts, others post-workout or during exercise.
  • Avoid low-quality creatine; purified versions are best.
  • Consider gut sensitivity when choosing supplements.

Closing Thoughts & Upcoming Topics

• Rachel encourages setting weekly priorities for health and business.
• Announcements:
  • Menopause Fitness Certification is currently half-price.
  • Updates coming soon for Menopause Instructors (Menofit Live).
• Tomorrow’s discussion will focus on electrolytes and their importance.
