Feeling like your body is aging & betraying you after 40? Aches, stubborn weight gain, and a loss of strength are NOT your inevitable future. Most women are told that a midlife decline is normal, but the science says womens health can be stronger, leaner, and more powerful than ever. The key to women's longevity is not just medicine. In this episode, Dr. Mark Hyman sits down with Dr. Vonda Wright, a double-board certified orthopedic surgeon and a leading voice on women’s performance and longevity. They dismantle the myths that have held women back for decades—from the fear-mongering around hormone therapy to the belief that it’s too late to build muscle. Dr. Wright shares her revolutionary approach to help you become truly unbreakable. You’ll learn why the years between 35 and 45 are your “critical decade”, how to train for explosive power (not just endurance), and the exact nutrition and hormone strategies that can reverse the clock on aging. This is the conversation every woman needs to hear to reclaim her vitality and rewrite her future. In this episode, you’ll discover: • The truth about the flawed study that scared a generation of women away from hormone therapy. • How to combat sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), the silent epidemic affecting women’s healthspan. • The specific way to lift weights for strength and power after 40 (3-6 reps to failure). • Dr. Wright’s “FACE” acronym (Flexibility, Aerobic, Carry a load, Equilibrium) for a complete fitness plan. • The biggest nutrition mistake women make and why you likely need more protein, not less. • Why Dr. Wright does NOT prescribe calcium supplements for bone health. • The essential, non-negotiable lab tests and scans every woman needs by age 40 #womenshealth #menopause #longevity #drMarkHyman #podcast View Show Notes From This Episode https://drhyman.com/blogs/content/podcast-ep1073 Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman https://drhyman.com/pages/picks?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Sign Up for Dr. Hyman’s Weekly Longevity Journal https://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcast Join the 10-Day Detox to Reset Your Health https://drhyman.com/pages/10-day-detox Join the Hyman Hive for Expert Support and Real Results https://drhyman.com/pages/hyman-hive?utm_source=dr_hyman_show&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode1065&utm_content=link This episode is brought to you by Seed, Fatty 15, Function Health, Pique, PerfectAmino and BON CHARGE.
