Summary

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days I am so excited to kick off our new health and wellness series with someone who’s become a true favorite around here – Dr. Vonda Wright. If you caught our January episode, you already know she’s a powerhouse. And let’s be honest, one conversation with her just wasn’t enough. Dr. Wright is a nationally renowned orthopedic surgeon and a trailblazer in the science of aging well. Her wisdom has radically transformed the way I think about my health, and I know she’s going to do the same for you. Every time we talk, I walk away feeling more informed, more empowered, and honestly, more fired up to take care of myself. Dr. Wright doesn’t just treat symptoms—she teaches women how to live strong, vibrant, energized lives in midlife and beyond. In part one of our conversation, we’re diving deep into what it really takes to thrive as we age. We’re talking longevity science, why building muscle is absolutely essential (spoiler: it’s not just about looking good), and how getting your hormones in check can be a total game-changer. If you’re ready to make the second half of life your most powerful chapter yet, this episode is for you. Let’s do this together.
