In this episode of Beyond Limits, Olivia sits down with Alisa DiFruscia—Naturopathic Doctor, Certified Personal Trainer, Yoga Instructor, German New Medicine Teacher, and the Founder of For Her Kind™.
Alisa created For Her Kind after realizing the traditional clinic model wasn’t giving women the consistent guidance they needed to succeed. Drawing on her background in naturopathic medicine, strength training, and holistic healing, she built a coaching space designed to cut through the noise of the wellness industry and show women they are not “broken.” Her evidence-based programs help women build confidence, strength, and lasting results that go far beyond a number on the scale.
Alisa opens up about her own fitness evolution (spoiler: she was once doing everything wrong), why strength training is non-negotiable for women, and how to fuel your body without fear. She also dives into her work with German Healing Knowledge, reframing symptoms as meaningful feedback instead of something to fear.
From busting the Pilates-only myth to revealing why you can’t actually “catch a cold,” Alisa’s message is both radically practical and deeply freeing.
Key Takeaways
🏋️♀️ Less is more when you train right.
Three days a week of heavy, intentional lifting beats endless cardio or boutique classes—and actually gives your muscles the rest they need to grow.
🥩 Protein is non-negotiable.
Muscle is “bougie” to maintain. Alisa breaks down how much you really need, why most women under-eat it, and how protein changes everything from fat loss to hormone health.
🔥 Progressive overload is the game-changer.
If your last rep looks as easy as your first, you’re not building strength. True results come from lifting heavier over time and pushing to technical failure.
🧠 Gym growth = life growth.
Building strength in the gym translates to resilience in business, relationships, and everyday life. Keeping promises to yourself boosts confidence far beyond your physique.
🌸 Symptoms aren’t enemies.
Through German Healing Knowledge, Alisa shows how symptoms are part of your body’s healing—not something to fear or suppress.
🚫 The contagion myth, debunked.
You can’t “catch” a cold. Fear fuels symptoms, while peace and perspective create healing.
