Maybe one of the most important reasons to actively build energy is to have enough left over for our home life.
Meet Nina Midtgaard, Msc.
I’m an Exercise Physiologist, holistic nutritionist and mind-body practitioner specializing in postmenopausal performance and energy restoration.
At 65 and more than thirty years immersed in the field of health and wellness, I have been fascinated by one question.
What allows a woman to remain energetic, resilient, capable, and deeply engaged with life as she grows older?
That question has shaped my career.
It has led me to study nutrition, exercise physiology, metabolic health, hormonal transition, behavioural change, recovery, and healthy aging.
It has also led me across both Western science and Eastern traditions, and modern and ancient philosophies always asking the same question:
What does our body need to thrive?
Why Long Haul Energy Exists
Through the years, I have watched countless leaders ensure everyone around them has access to support while never finding time to prioritise their own wellbeing.
I created Long Haul Energy™ to change that.
Because when the long-haul engine comes online, everything shifts.
More energy. Sharper thinking. Deeper sleep. Greater resilience.
And something many leaders have forgotten is possible: the ability to come home, put the day down, and be fully present.
With a book.
A cup of tea.
A dinner with someone you love.
Because your whole life matters — not just your performance.
Today I work with remarkable women whose lives are still expanding.
Women leading organisations.
Building companies.
Supporting families.
Writing books.
Mentoring others.
Exploring the world.
Women who know they are not finished.
Together we build the physiological capacity that allows them to continue living, leading, loving, and contributing for as long as they choose.
Like you, family and home are important to me.
I have a large world-wide family and love spending time with them. In fact, I come from an exciting multicultural family background (norwegian dad and indian mother) and have lived around the world. Our family resembles the united nations… we are of all colors, different accents, different cultures. Below is a picture of my sister and myself in sari’s taken around mid sixties in India.
Now I live in Denmark with my husband Peter and our dogs. We love nature, beautiful sunrises and sunsets… and sailing. And, we are often to be found out on the water somewhere in Denmark or the Swedish or Norwegian archipelago and walking in the forest with our dogs… often looking a bit scruffy!
Otherwise, when I am not working or contemplating the body, there is nothing I love more than curling up with a book, journaling or drinking a cup of chai guys marsala tea or you will find me in my garden where I grow my own vegetables and herbs.
Your Most Influential Years May Still Be Ahead Of You
If your energy, resilience, or performance no longer feels aligned with the demands of your life and leadership,
I invite you to schedule a private in-person or virtual conversation.
We will talk about where you are, what you are experiencing, and whether this work is the right fit.
Nothing is assumed.
Nothing is pushed.
It is simply a conversation between two people who take leadership and performance seriously.
