Women's Wellness Adventure Travel After 50

Real quick, before we dive into this episode, I have a little sleep secret I want to tell you about. Look, sleep is crucial for your fitness, but it's crucial for just plain old everyday life and function. And I find I sleep great unless I have a migraine. And I've had more than my fair share since perimenopause all the way through postmenopause. My secret weapon was Blue Sky CBD sleep gels. Each gel contains 25mg of CBD and 25mg CBN for deep restorative sleep. Something about it helps to reduce inflammation, which I believe for me was key in helping me get to sleep. But the biggest thing is so many of the over-the-counter solutions, whether for sleep or migraines, can ruin gut health, and liver health. Neither one of those did I want to be problematic for me. So this option is recommended by healthcare providers worldwide and backed by thousands of happy customers, many of whom come from our Flipping 50 community. There is zero THC, so it's non-habit-forming. It's made by a trusted family-owned company that we all can feel good about. Third-party tested for purity and potency. And if you're interested, you too can try a sample for just $6. But even better, you can get 30% off forever with discount code FLIPPING50. That's FLIPPING50. Just go to flipping50.com/blueskycbd. We'll put that link in the show notes and you'll find it everywhere on Flipping 50 at My Favorites. What are you waiting for? Good night. Whether you are interested in adventure travel or the adventure that you might be interested is starting a new business, even if you're 58 or approaching 60, this episode will light you up.

What do you get when you combine wellness with travel and adventure? In Stacy Funt's case, you get a new business. My guest today began her new business combining a love for travel and adventure with the need to fill a gap between empty nesting and grief, and her new business was born. In this episode, we unpack what her business looks like, what her brand of adventure travel is and how taking risk coming from a safe, secure paycheck looks and feels like. No matter which part of this first attracts you, you may feel inspired after this episode. My guest Stacy Funt is a radiologist, certified health coach, and founder of LH Travel, or LH Adventure Travel, a company specializing in small group wellness adventures for women worldwide. Drawing on her medical expertise and love of travel, Stacy curates immersive experiences in breathtaking natural settings and vibrant cultural landscapes inspired by the pillars of well-being: movement, nourishing whole foods, relaxation, and sisterhood. Her journeys leave women feeling deeply connected, rejuvenated, and inspired. So take this little trip with us. Stacy Funt, thank you so much for joining me.

My pleasure to be here.

I am so excited. So first of all, I want to launch into what you're doing, why you're doing it. We're just going to cover all the bases today. So to anybody who also is dreaming about a different career and you're currently in a career that feels maybe not like your passion, this is also for you. So we're going to, we're going to ask some questions at the end about why this, why now, how did you ever, you know, take this pivot in your career. But we're going to start with some other things, and I want to ask you, first of all, what inspired you as a physician? And are you still practicing?

First things first, I'm a part-time practicing physician.

Okay. What inspired you to start a wellness adventure travel, and at the age of 58, which we all love here?

Yeah, well, a few things led up to each other. So I have been a global adventure traveler my my entire life since college. Like, I was the one who went off to Africa in my 20s before the internet with my backpack and the Lonely Planet guide by myself. Like, that, that was me. So, so travel has always been my main passion and a big part of my life. And even once I had kids, we did our regular family vacations, but I would take one kid on a special adventure around the globe, and I would plan it. And it just, it, it makes the world from black and white to color for me, and just something I've always enjoyed doing. And then as a physician, about, I guess about 12 years ago, I learned about lifestyle medicine and that, um, I didn't have any of that in my training. It was very exciting to me. It was the science of how we live our life and how that can prevent, treat, and in some places even reverse chronic disease. And I had a kid with some health issues at the time and we used that and it had a profound impact. So that was a big pivotal moment for me. So I became a health coach and I studied lifestyle medicine, and I started lecturing all over. And then I just started to think, you know, how great to mix these two. You know, friends would come back from vacation and say, oh, you know, I feel so terrible now. Now I have to take care of myself. And I thought, well, it'd be really fun to mix the both. So I had the idea for a long time, but my kids were younger, and, you know, I didn't really do anything with it. I actually tried once. I did plan a trip to Zion and a spa, but then COVID hit. And so that was it. And then my kids, really the biggest pivotal moment that really made all this happen, my kids left for college. I have twins. So I became an empty nester all at once. A month before they left, my father-in-law died. And a month after they left, my father died. So it was so much loss at once. And I was 58 at the time. My mother died at 59. So I was approaching the age my mother died. So I was really confronting grief and my own mortality and dealing with so much loss. And for the first time in my life, I started to think, is the best behind me? Which I had never thought before, ever. And I am a traveler. And all of a sudden, I just knew in my bones I had to go hiking in Nepal. I just had to go. So I asked my husband, I'm like, do you want to go? He said yes. So just having this goal and preparing for this adventure was so healing in so many ways. You know, it gave me purpose, it gave me excitement, it brought back my mojo in so many ways. And then, and then we went to Nepal. We trekked in the Annapurna region. You know, we did a 5-day moderate trek, and it, you know, just touches your soul. I mean, when you're hiking and spending hours surrounded by those the majestic mountains. It's really transformative. And the Nepali people are beautiful, and, um, they're a large percentage Hindu. And we went to the crematorium where I learned more about their concepts of death and dying and the body and just so many different perspectives that it was a truly healing journey. And I came back from that trip, the flight home, absolutely knowing I was starting my business. You know, I knew it, and I knew my first trip was going to be Morocco, and I knew it was going to be a financial investment and a risk, and I didn't know who would go, but I, I knew that this is what my next phase was going to be.

I love that, and I'm going to come back to that too. Uh, so I'm typing furiously and I can't type and talk, so there's a challenge. But all right, so we, we said earlier we generally do about 30 minutes. We might have you here all day, but we'll, we'll see about that. So how would you describe what it is you do? And there were several things that I want to almost pick out first before I go here. One of the things that you said almost without saying is the training for it gave you purpose. So whether or not a woman is dealing with grief, or maybe just the— I'm sure you've heard this many times, you know, I don't know, nothing's wrong, it's just I don't know, you know, Is there more than this? And is this it? And kind of feeling flat and feeling like, yeah, you know, we— the balloon never got off the ground kind of thing. I think it reframes everything. And right now we're in a moment in time as we record this that menopause is having a moment, longevity is having a moment, and we're doing a lot of talking about the necessity of taking care of muscle and bone and our brain health. But sometimes I think to a lot of women them in, maybe listeners, that feels like checking a box, like I have to go to the gym today. And the difference is, as soon as you have like a hike in Nepal on the calendar, it's something that I need to go because then I'll be ready. And I'm someone all of a sudden who trains for events, who trains for things, and it's immediately you think of yourself differently.

Completely, completely. Yeah.

So describe for us like your flavor of wellness adventure. What is this like? So you've already given me a bit of a taste of— are you taking women? So that's a very zealous adventure for you to go on. Are you taking your retreat attendees on something similar, or what? What's— give me a weekend or week. What's it like?

Well, so right now they're all like about a week. Um, one's a little bit longer, but these are women adventures. Most of my women are 50s and 60s, and all of my itineraries are based on lifestyle medicine. So lifestyle medicine has 6 basic tenets. All of my itineraries have 4 of them. So it's movement, it's moderate movement. So all of my trips have hiking and kayaking and e-biking and all that kind of stuff. But, you know, I have different levels and I have different options and, you know, so there's movement. They all have healthy eating, or at least healthy eating choices. We do Tuscany, you know, cooking class and Moroccan food tours and all those kind of things. They all have components of stress management. So we're staying in a spa, we're visiting a spa where we're having yoga, we're having time for that. And then a really big part is community. It's sisterhood. It's such a big part of our wellness and our well-being. So we eat our dinners together. I'm a trained coach, so, you know, I have certain questions and things that we do together to really build sisterhood throughout the trip. I don't have a join now button. Anyone who's interested Zooms with me, and then we have a one-on-one to make sure it's the right match and the right expectations. And it's worked out really, really well so far. The other two facets of lifestyle medicine, by the way, just if you're interested, is sleep And if, if there's an addiction, to get help with the addiction. And, and that's all of lifestyle medicine.

Love it. So, and you mentioned mostly 50s and 60s. Why do you think that is?

Yeah, I— my website says 40s to 60s. Sometimes I'll get late 40s, but I think that's a few different reasons. Um, first of all, it says on my website, clearly says 40s to 60s, because I don't want somebody who wants to run up Kilimanjaro to, you know, to be hiking with me because I have a very different different pace. But I also find from my own experience and speaking with other people, when our kids get older, it's like people come out to play again, you know, that we can start to focus more on ourselves and take care of ourselves again. And a lot of times we have the financial ability to give ourselves a little bit more, or the time. Or sometimes, like, I get women on my trip— I get a lot of people who are empty nesters some people who are in a change of relationship, about to retire or changing jobs, or just in these transitions. And I think there's a lot of us in the same, in the same age range and the same situations looking for that community.

I love that. So question. So you're in practice. Have you had an instance where any patients have come on your wellness travels with you?

Well, I'm a radiologist. So by training.

Okay.

So I'm not a clinical doctor. So I'm an MD, but I don't have clinical practice. But I do get a lot of physicians on my trips. Just because, you know, I guess maybe about a quarter of my group ends up being women physicians or so. You know, that's just people who know of me and see me on social media and things. So we have given medical care on our trips, which is really interesting. Like we were hiking, we were in a remote hike in Morocco and there was a nomadic family and there was an older member of the family who had some leg issues, and I had a few clinical doctors on my trip, and it was really beautiful. You know, they were consulting with him and trying to help him out, so that was really beautiful.

Very cool.

Any memorable stories? And how long have you been doing this?

2 years now. Yeah, I started— okay, years. That was my first trip, was 2 years ago.

Okay.

And memorable— I have so many memorable stories, but in terms of what, where would you like me to direct it?

Something that sticks out, maybe about a transformation. Yeah, you know, that someone had an aha moment with you or because of it.

Yeah, that's one of my favorite things about all of it, you know, to see that. And, and there have been, there have been quite a few of those, but one, just one that I'll share, you know, I said I Zoom with everyone, and sometimes people sign up far in advance. And I Zoom with this one woman, she was lovely, I didn't know her, and she was having a very emotional moment on the call because, um, she was taking care of everybody in her family and really let herself go. She was not taking care of herself at all, and she decided to make the commitment to herself to go on this trip. This was, she thought, turning a new page of starting to really focus on herself. Now, I didn't see her for 7 months later. I send out emails and we had a Zoom, and, you know, but I didn't get to really connect with her. Then I go on this trip She had lost 50 pounds by the time we spoke to the time we got on the trip. And not only that, like, she was beaming. And she, like, everybody was so happy for this woman. She bought herself so many things on the trip. And it was just so beautiful to see her in her power and her energy and in her light, you know, compared to how she felt 7 months earlier. So I think that was one of my favorite stories. I've had quite a few, but I think that's my favorite one.

That's amazing. Love it. I want to ask you a little bit about— I think first of all, let's go here. So advice to anybody who's listening who's like, I've always wanted to do that, you know, I want to go on an adventure retreat. I will often have women, and I, I've done them in different ways, shapes, and forms for probably 15 years. And I have women on the regular say, someday I'll join you, someday. And I know we as midlife women have a lot of things on our plates that we didn't necessarily attract or think, think that we tried to. And that, that is sometimes it. But I also think a lot of times women are waiting for it to be a perfect moment, like for it to be convenient to go, like as if everything is going to drop off your calendar and you'll be fine, you'll be totally ready. What would you say to somebody who really is feeling like this is a dream to go, but they can't quite pull the trigger?

Well, I can, I can just speak for myself, right? Like I have a quote, a Mary Oliver quote that motivates me in my life, you know. And it's something like, tell me, what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? And, and I have that quote written down in my bedroom. And, you know, I do have a parent who died at 59. My mother died when she was younger. So, so also, you know, between those two things, I don't take anything for granted that we're always going to have these opportunities forever. And so I'm very aware of that. And so if I have a desire, I really try to to tap into my desires. And I think that would be my— I think that would be my advice for, for people to tap into their own desires. And if you really have a desire to— for something, I think desires are meant to be manifested, or at least, or at least meant to move you in a direction. And if there's a deep-down desire somewhere, I mean, that's just a beautiful way to live, following those desires. It makes for a wonderful life. It does. And so I would, I would advise follow the desires.

And we're talking to potentially a community of women who's no stranger to maybe wanting to lose some extra weight, but I'm gonna just use that as an analogy for right now. But would you say that not going, not following some kind of a desire, also ends up being weight that you're carrying around? That you could remove if you chase that dream.

Do you have a question for a podcast? A question you'd love to ask, or maybe a story you want to tell? Did you know we have a special group just for podcast question roundups and the answers? My community coaches and I provide answers daily inside of this group, but it's also where I go when I occasionally say, okay, open call for podcast questions, or tell your story. Would you like to be a guest? So if you're looking for a community of women who are also interested in optimizing their health, strengthening their mindset, and looking forward to every new year, join the Flipping 50 Insiders group. That's Flipping 50 Insiders on Facebook.

Oh yeah, I mean, now you're authentic living, right? Authentic living to me is the lightest way of roaming the earth, metaphorically, in so many ways. And, you know, I want to circle back to something you said before. I listened to some of your guests, and you have amazing people who are marathoners and trainers. And I am a reformed couch potato. I am not one of those people who naturally says, yay, let's go to the gym. I do not, you know, I love to hike. You know, the mountains are my sanctuary. So I, you know, and you can't really go up there and not come back. So you kind of, you know, you have to move. But having a goal of something I want to do helps me tremendously with motivating myself to move tremendously. Because just because I know it's good for me or I should is not a long-term sustainable motivational factor for me.

Yeah, amen. And to those of you who have been listening for a long time and you're OGs, you've heard me tell this story, but I have an older sister who, you know, at some point when you're the fitness guru in the family, you realize that nagging people doesn't really work for you or for them, so you give it up. And my sister has started and stopped many times, probably in her adult life, and it wasn't until she and her husband began taking ballroom dance that it began to matter. And she had interest then in looking at her alignment and getting stronger to carry herself and do more in that thing that she did love. Then it had purpose. Yeah, I think, you know, a lot of people, you may not ever love the thing, but you may love the benefit the thing gives you so much that it becomes worth it.

You know, you're connecting, you're talking about connecting it to your values. And I think for me, that is the key to getting me moving. Mm-hmm.

Absolutely. Okay, so I want to flip gears just a little bit because there are a lot of women here that, you know, like you said, everything is coming like all at once. You know, we are losing parents, our in-laws. We are maybe dealing with even a spouse, you know, passing or life as we knew it together is not, not gonna be the same. So there's that change. Kids, adult kids. And so there's a moment where we start making lots of changes. Often it's relationship, it's career, it's financial. So I want to come back in into career. And for anybody who is looking at you and saying, wow, that's brave, and what it is you're doing, this is really cool, what advice would you give to women who are considering you know, this dream child of a business, or this is— I would love it if this was what I did for work. And in there, later in life, they're stepping into some kind of a new chapter and feeling like, you know, I can't do that. And I will tell you this, I think many of us right now in midlife were raised by very conservative parents in general who taught us work hard, you stay working for the same company and get a pin when you retire kind of thing, you know. So to bust out of that is a big deal. What would you say to them?

Well, I mean, first of all, again, it's, it's authentic living and living with your desire. I feel like I'm only here once that I know of, right? And, and, you know, I at least have to try. That's just, that's just kind of my motto. I'm just going to give it a try. And in terms of the logistics, like, things that I would really advise, first of all, is to get a support group, right? Trying a new venture is not easy, and it's a lot of work. And anything that's such a vulnerable experience, you know, it takes you for a real roller coaster ride. So I think getting a support group of entrepreneurs or just good friends or people stepping out away from the herd and trying something different And to be surrounded by other people like that, because so many different emotions can come up around that. And I think the biggest obstacle can be our own thinking. And our own thinking can be the biggest block to everything and our own fears and insecurities. So getting a posse of women who are doing it and in the same thing and maybe a little ahead of you to give you advice and a role model. And a mentor can be so important. I, I also, you know, I didn't like quit my day job, you know, because financial security, especially at this point, you know, there's a plan and I, I don't really want to thwart it now unless of course I had no choice. Um, I am fortunate to be able to work part-time. Not everybody can do that, but I, I do think it's really helpful to still have an income stream a steady income stream while you're trying something new, because then the new thing could be fun. I'm not desperate to support myself. I don't have the stress of making a living. It gets to be my passion project because I care so deeply about it, and it uses skills that I feel very alive using, you know, and gifts that I feel very, um, that feel very meaningful to me to put out to the universe. And so I think it's really helpful to have, if you're already financially secure, that's great. And if you're not, to just have some income so it doesn't add to that stress. And then, you know, and then just try it because, you know, Brené Brown always talks about that, that quote, so many people have quoted that Teddy Roosevelt, you know, enter the arena, like, why not? You know, I don't want to, I don't want to sit on the sidelines at the end saying, I wish I tried it. And, you know, if it doesn't work, then I would go on to the next thing. But it's a life— to me, it's a life worth living when, when I give it my best shot.

So would you say right now that your business was a side hustle, or is it— this is what you want to be your mainstream? How do you see success? What's your definition of it?

In this business?

So how I see success in my life is not necessarily how I see success in my business. I will, I will say that's a little bit different. But right now, you know, I'm getting towards the latter part of my medical career, and to me, I'm building my plan B. And this is what I will do when I'm done practicing medicine. I will expand this more, build this more. I will have one couple's trip a year because my husband wants to come along. We can start that next year. But this is, you know, a friend of mine doesn't call it retirement, she calls it re-engagement.

And I call it rewirement.

Okay, you got it right. She calls it re-engagement. Yeah. So the same thing. I, you know, people who want— like, I— it's great, whatever you want to do. When my kids first left, I started playing pickleball and I learned mahjong, and those are two wonderful things. But I did get depressed because me me personally, I love to create and I love to connect and I love to build, and, and that's what makes me feel alive. That's what makes me feel most alive. And so I found a business that I get to feel all those things doing it in something that's very meaningful and important to me that I love. And it gets to feel like service providing that for other people who want to experience it, you know, in a similar way.

So right now, is this like a passionate thing or is this a profitable thing?

This is a profitable thing. This is my second business.

Okay.

Yeah.

So question on this. So a lot of— I mean, you've got a net. To somebody who doesn't, I will tell you that starting over at 49, you know, I had part-timed a lot of things prior to that while having a regular stable paycheck, cutting the umbilical cord was the thing that catapulted the business because I had to.

Yeah.

And when you don't have to, it's very easy to fall back on. I honestly nailed for myself that I would use one as the excuse not to be quite as successful in the other. And I did it both ways. And I was like, wow, I'm doing that.

You know, I have to say, I didn't have a financial necessity to make this— yeah, this work, because I had another income, right? But it— for lack of a better word, I had a soul necessity.

Yeah.

And, and I, you know, it's been an enormous amount of work, way more than I ever thought it was gonna be. Yeah, more But I'm still so pulled towards it. And because I, I had a soul necessity to feel alive and feel I'm doing what I'm meant to do on this planet in some way.

And yeah, yeah, so good. How is it— so when I come back to radiology, have you ever gotten up in the morning that excited about your radiology job?

You know, it's different. I mean, I am incredibly grateful for radiology. It's an amazing field. I've been in it a very long time. I chose radiology before there was the internet, right? You know, it was very different. The radiologist was an integral part of a medical team. Now I sit alone in a room with a Dictaphone in front of a computer screen. So the field has changed dramatically. I still think it's a wonderful field. It's important work. I'm very grateful. For the work I've done for it and in it, and the colleagues I have are fabulous. So I don't have regrets for it, but it changed, right? And, you know, have you heard of the term a black swan? You know, a black swan is something that happens that nobody ever expected and it changes everything, right? And when I chose this field, I didn't expect it to change to this, and it did. And there are wonderful things about that change, and I made the best of it, and I have No regrets. But with that change, um, it became a different kind of a field, and, and I had a longing to use other skills I wasn't using, and that's why I wanted to start this business.

That was— for somebody listening, I feel like you just gave them kind of a pivotal moment, because I think a lot of times— I'm sure you've heard this, maybe we hear it more from younger, freshly graduated from college students who suddenly maybe realize, I don't actually want to sit in a cubicle for 8 hours a day, but they feel obligated because this is what I went to school for. And, and I've heard those words so many times, you know, that— but that's what I went to school for. So almost as if the rest of the sentences. So that's what I have to be doing, that's what I should be doing. And I think to your point, maybe it's not. Maybe it's okay that, that you don't, or that you had a black swan and think about where you are now. And maybe it's not the fit now that it was once. Very rich. You alluded to something about the risk, you know, in offering your first retreat. You're in a, you're in a career where you do have somewhat safety, security, got a regular paycheck, you, you know, it's coming. And now you're like choosing to do this other thing and there's a risk associated. How did that feel?

Yeah, it's, it's not even the financial risk. Risk so much. It's the emotional risk. Okay. In medicine, I knew I worked hard. I did my medical school, my internship, my resident. There was a very set path, and I knew I'd get to XYZ if I just went along that path. This is completely different. There's no path. No matter how hard I work, no matter how wonderful I think something might be, there's no guarantees. There's no guidebook. There's no set path. And when I released that first trip and I announced to the universe, I'm doing this, I told my friends, I put it on social media, I announced it. I did have a vulnerability attack. I'm not joking when I said I had to lay in my bed that afternoon. Okay. I just, I felt ill. I really did. I felt so vulnerable. Like what if, What if nobody likes it? What if nobody wants to come? What if it's a failure, right? What if it's a failure? And that was so overwhelming. It was that day. But there was a— we can have many parts of ourselves, of course, right? There was just another part that said, well, if that happens, you will lick your wounds and move on. You have to do this. And, and it is incredibly vulnerable and scary to take a risk and do something different and tell everybody about it. You know, to do it in private is a little different. And then if it works, I'll tell you. Yeah, yeah.

I love that. And I want to connect with any of the health coaches or fitness trainers who are listening here because I know you're here on this podcast too, and we'll share this with Fitness Marketing Academy audience. But, you know, so very often I hear this when, especially if somebody has been working under a different agency, they've been working for a business. I myself experienced this too, you know, in working for other clubs and facilities for 30 years, and then all of a sudden I was promoting myself. And I was, I was great at marketing and sales when I could kind of hide behind, here is what I'm selling. And now it was like, oh no, oh no, everybody's looking at me because I— that has to be a part of it. I have to be transparent. And it was totally different. Yeah, yeah, but totally good. So when we talk risk-reward, usually if we were investing money, you know, the— or emotion or energy to train for something that we know is going to be hard. The reward is you get to the top of the mountain and the view is amazing, the memories are, are amazing. So do you feel like in these 2 years that you have grown, that your resilience is greater, or what is your feeling about risk now?

Yeah, I definitely, I definitely feel my resilience is greater. I'm, I'm proud of myself. I am. I feel really, I feel really good. I had a dream and I took a risk and other people are enjoying that dream and joining me on that dream and we'll see where it goes from here. But I feel really good and I have no regrets and I'm really, really glad that I've done it.

How long do you think you'll be quote-unquote working, leading retreats?

Yeah, I, you know, I'm— we'll see what happens. I mean, part of my model, eventually I want to have other people hosting for me. I can send private groups. You know, some people, when they're a tour operator— some people, when they're tour operators, they just use a company in another country, and the other company plans it, you know, but that's not how I do it. I, like, I just came back the other day from Spain. I go myself and research it. I meet all the local people. I decide who I want to work with, what activities feel right, what, you know. And, and so that's really exciting to me, making friends around the globe, creating these experiences together. And so I'll see how the business evolves. I mean, I really would like to send other people in their tribe have other people host me in the future because I can only go so many times and leave my husband so many times. And, you know, I don't really know. I'll just see how it grows. But it— I mean, I'm, I'm only 60, right? So I feel pretty young. I'll see how it goes. If I'm enjoying it, I'll do it. And of course, not every moment, because some moments are painful, right? You know, someone was a painful— but overall, I still have a full-body yes to this. So as long as—

so great—

that full-body yes, I'm 100% in.

So great. So it's been so refreshing to speak with you, and I love that quote of the day might be, I'm only 60, you know. So yes, you know, and we need to hear more of that. That is For sure. Stacy, where can everyone get a hold of you, follow you, learn a little bit more about adventures and what you have planned?
