'This is the book every woman needs not just in menopause, but well before.' - Kate Rowe-Ham, Menopause Fitness Expert and Author of Owning Your Menopause
STRONGER MUSCLES AND BONES, INCREASED MOBILITY, LIFELONG INDEPENDENCE AND A NEW MENTALITY FOR AGEING WITH POWER.
This cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training and lifestyle will optimise a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond.
Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity - yet too often women neglect this important measure of fitness. Indeed, more than 70% of women experience musculoskeletal symptoms like joint pain, muscle loss and reduced bone density as they enter perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms - what Dr Vonda Wright refers to as the 'musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause' - can often set us up for osteoporosis, osteopenia, broken bones, increasingly limited mobility and reduced independence later in life. That trend stops now. Unbreakable outlines a new and direct path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate.
Drawing on her decades of experience as a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr Wright gives clear action steps to shield us from the timebombs of aging in four critical categories:- Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function.- Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate your gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth.- Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down systemic inflammation in your daily life.- Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of 'zombie cells' and improve your cell function.
Including a six-week, master exercise protocol to jumpstart skeletal and muscular strength, critical information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, and twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, Unbreakable is an invaluable guide to adding more vibrantly healthy life to your years.
