In today’s episode I sit down with Dr. Vonda Wright, author of 'Unbreakable: A Woman’s Guide to Aging with Power.' We discuss the importance of bone health, muscle building, and lifelong mobility, particularly for women in their thirties and forties. Dr. Wright emphasizes the need to start addressing bone density and strength early in life to prevent issues in later years. We discuss practical tips for integrating muscle and bone-strengthening activities into daily routines, the impact of estrogen on bone and joint health, and underscores the importance of adequate protein intake.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
0:10.0	Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Eliza Pressman, and today's episode is with Unbreakable
0:17.0	author, Dr. Vonda Wright. Unbreakable is a woman's guide to age with power. And oh my goodness,
0:24.5	I feel like this is a gift for women in their 30s and 40s because Dr. Wright talks about
0:32.0	how to actually protect your bone health and build stronger muscles and increase your mobility and
0:38.8	have lifelong independence. And it's this shift that happens now, but you don't notice that it's
0:46.3	happening until you get a little bit older and it's a little late. So this was such a wonderful
0:53.1	conversation. It is part of this attempt for everyone to
0:59.9	sort of pass along, like what happens during perimenopause and what you can do to age stronger
1:06.5	and better and be able to do so while you're doing your everyday tasks, like picking up your kids.

1:37.6	started caring about bones. It's like bone density comes out of my mouth a lot. And I, you know, obviously my teenage daughters hear
1:46.9	this a lot, but what do we actually need to know that our children need to know, that our,
1:53.6	that people who just had babies need to know. And kind of, I want to get to where, you know,
1:59.0	50s and beyond. I love that you're thinking about it now,
2:03.5	but the fact that you're only thinking about it now is actually pretty typical. Unless we're
2:09.3	in fashion week and we're like, oh, look at those bones or the structure or these clavicles
2:13.9	in that dress. Because in society, bones are silent. You know, we don't think about them
2:20.4	until our aunt Minnie breaks one. Right. And she's in the hospital. And then she has a 30%
