Summary
"Motion is the lotion that keeps our bodies young." - Dr. Vonda Wright
As we navigate the changes of perimenopause and beyond, one thing becomes crystal clear: movement is non-negotiable for aging powerfully. I sat down with orthopedic surgeon and longevity expert Dr. Vonda Wright to unpack why exercise is the secret sauce for thriving in midlife and beyond. From preserving bone density to keeping our brains sharp, Dr. Wright shared game-changing insights on how we can use targeted movement to quite literally change our aging trajectory. As a fellow exercise enthusiast, I was fascinated by her "FACE" framework for midlife fitness and her passion for helping women redefine what's possible as we age. If you're ready to build a body that's strong, resilient, and ready for whatever life throws your way, this episode is a must-listen!
What you'll learn:
-
Why bone health is critical for longevity and independence
-
The surprising link between muscle mass and cognitive function
-
How to design an exercise program that fights age-related muscle and bone loss
-
The truth about getting "bulky" from weightlifting (spoiler: it's a myth!)
-
Simple ways to improve balance and prevent falls as you age
-
The power of consistency in your fitness routine
Ready to revolutionize how you move? Tune in now for Dr. Wright's expert advice on building a body that's truly built to last. And remember—it's never too late to start!
