S17E1: S17E1 Dr Vonda Wright: How to become unbreakable in midlife

There are some guests whose work feels as though it’s changing the conversation around women’s health – and Dr Vonda Wright is one of them. A double board-certified orthopaedic surgeon and internationally recognised authority on human performance, longevity and women’s health, Dr Wright has spent more than two decades studying how we can remain strong, mobile and independent as we age. She is also the author of the bestselling Unbreakable: A Woman’s Guide to Ageing with Power and the physician who gave a name to something countless women had been experiencing but struggling to explain: the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause. Her message is an enormously empowering one for women in midlife: ageing does not have to mean quietly accepting weakness, pain and physical decline. There is much we can do now to protect our muscles, bones, joints and future independence – and midlife is a crucial time to start. Dr Wright is one of the most compelling voices in women’s longevity today, so we’re incredibly excited to welcome her to *Thriving in Menopause*. This is a conversation every woman who wants to feel strong, capable and confident in her body for decades to come should hear. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
