Most women are told that midlife decline is inevitable—more aches, weaker bones, less strength. But is that really true? On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Vonda Wright, a double-board certified orthopedic surgeon and leading voice in women’s longevity and performance. She shares how muscle functions as medicine, how hormones shape longevity, and why women’s midlife health deserves a whole new conversation. Join us for the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. What you’ll discover: • How to protect your strength, bones, and independence after 40 • Training shifts that build power, balance, and resilience you can feel every day • Why hormone therapy may be safer and more effective than you’ve been told • Nutrition habits that feed muscle, boost energy, and slow midlife decline • The key tests that reveal your true healthspan—and how to act on them Aging is universal, but frailty is not. With the right focus on strength, hormones, and lifestyle choices, women can move into midlife and beyond with vitality and independence.
