Have you ever heard of the Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause and wondered what it really means? If so, this episode is for you.

Today I sit down with one of the most recognized orthopedic surgeons in the menopause space, a true advocate who's fighting tooth and nail to keep women strong, mobile, and independent as we age.

Here's what we cover in this powerful conversation:

• Her experience speaking in front of the FDA to help remove the black box warning on estrogen

• Why she believes hormone therapy can be a game-changer for muscle, dementia, and cardiovascular health

• Her groundbreaking research on aging and muscle health

• Whether it's ever too late (or too risky) to start training

• Her take on the growing popularity of blood flow restriction bands

• The surprising prediction she made about my hips years ago just by looking at my scans

• How to know when it's really time to consider surgery

Dr. Vonda Wright is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon, internationally recognized authority on active aging, and one of the few orthopedic surgeons in the world with dual fellowships in sports medicine and aging research. She is the founder of the Women's Health Conversations movement, author of multiple books including Fitness After 40 and soon to be released Unbreakable, and a sought-after keynote speaker who has inspired audiences from corporate boardrooms to global health stages. Dr. Wright's innovative approach combines cutting-edge orthopedic science with lifestyle strategies to help people not just extend their years, but live stronger, more mobile, and more vibrant lives well into midlife and beyond.
