Meet Kim
I’m Kim Rahir, a health coach for women helping them to drop weight, get strong and boost energy by leveraging muscle mass and mindset work. Diagnosed with MS 10 years ago and winning a European Masters Weightlifting Championship this year. My story has inspired me to show women how muscle (building and maintaining) can be a health elixir and sometimes a road to salvation – once they have embraced the idea of becoming strong and that it’s not a pursuit exclusive to men.
About me:
Staying strong and healthy doesn’t have to stop at 50. Healthy aging after 50.

Her approach is to turn scientific knowledge about human health into actionable tool kits for everyday life.
