I was shocked when my dentist connected my bleeding gums to low estrogen – the same culprit behind my achy joints and poor recovery! This revelation unlocked my understanding of what Dr. Vonda Wright calls the "Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause." If you're waking up feeling stiff, experiencing joint pain, or noticing your body doesn't bounce back like it used to, you're not crazy or broken – you're experiencing a natural but manageable part of midlife. Contrary to popular advice, the answer isn't to move less or accept joint pain as inevitable. I'm sharing the science-backed strategies that helped me delay knee surgery for 25 years and recently transformed my debilitating foot pain into pain-free walking, from strength training protocols to regenerative therapies and anti-inflammatory nutrition approaches that actually work.

What you’ll learn:

Why joint pain often emerges during perimenopause and menopause (hint: it's about more than just aging)

The truth about movement – why "protecting" your joints by moving less actually makes them worse

How certain foods can dramatically increase or decrease joint inflammation

The critical connection between gut health, inflammation, and joint pain

Which supplements have research-backed benefits for joint health (and the specific ones I take daily)

Strategies to balance muscle-building against fat gain to protect your joints

How regenerative therapies like PRP, stem cells, and cutting-edge treatments can help rebuild cartilage
