Stacy sits down with orthopedic surgeon and women's health expert Dr. Vonda Wright to talk about what it really means to stay strong—physically and mentally—through midlife and beyond. They dig into why strength training is crucial (especially for your bones), how menopause can be a wake-up call for self-care, and how our mindset and movement are deeply connected. Dr. Wright breaks down the facts on osteopenia and osteoporosis, shares advice on body recomposition, and explains why musculoskeletal health matters more than we think. It’s an honest, motivating conversation about taking charge of your health—and feeling powerful doing it.
