Julia Linn had a case of childhood diabetes which caused kidney failure, heart disease, retinopathy (diabetic blindness) and nerve damage. At age 34 she had a double organ transplant which cured the diabetes and gave her a working kidney. Fourteen years later at age 48, Julia required a triple cardiac bypass as the heart disease progressed, and two years later her thyroid was removed.

Always health conscious, Julia decided she wanted to be in the best shape of her life by the 30th- anniversary of the life-saving transplant. Her goal was optimal health, not weight loss. She wanted the energy to continue living her dreams, and reaching her goals. A tremendous gratitude for the gift of life was her WHY. 

She started a fitness program as an out-of-shape 62-year old, and within two years she was competing on stage in two NPC Bikini Masters Body Building Competitions, where she came in first and third. Julia remembers days in the ICU when she didn’t know if she was ever going to go home. To be able to lift weights, feel strong, alive and energetic is the ultimate gift she wants to share with what she calls Queenagers. Julia is a seasoned educator and workshop facilitator of 40+ years teaching at universities and seminars all over the world. She holds certification from the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) as a Certified Personal Trainer. She trains in the gym five days a week and follows a macro-based nutrition plan. She has completely transformed her body and her health. But more importantly she has transformed inwardly – the real change takes place on the inside. She wants all women to know if she can do it, they can do it. And her goal is to help you understand how to get in the best shape of your life.
