Dr. Kamila Hortynska is a Clinical Psychologist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, Psychotherapist, and Spiritual Guide with over 25 years of experience, specialising in perimenopause. Luna Kulu is a personal trainer and nutritional advisor based in Crete whose approach focuses on building stronger bodies and healthier minds.
In Part 2 of their conversation, Dr. Kamila and Luna get practical about how women can begin strength training without feeling overwhelmed. Luna explains why starting with simple bodyweight movements can be enough, how resistance can be added gradually, and why even a short workout at home can be worthwhile.
They also discuss recovery and nutrition, including why women may sometimes be training hard without eating enough to support their bodies. Luna shares how to recognise when the body needs more rest and why her own approach to training has shifted towards building a strong, balanced and well-functioning body rather than focusing purely on appearance.
Finally, the conversation moves into joyful movement. Luna shares her love of dance as a form of self-expression, while Dr. Kamila discusses ecstatic dance and the value of moving in ways that feel enjoyable rather than forced. As Luna reminds us, movement can start very simply — and we are often stronger than we think.
