A supportive and empowering environment to improve whole-self wellness for women in midlife.

Working out takes on new focus and motivation as we age. Our “why” for going to the gym becomes less about the scale and more about training to live and move the way we want to, free of pain and full of vitality. For me, that means choosing specific functional movements with my trainer, Phil Chung, to prepare my body for a long weekend of skiing with my kids. We had a great time, and I can honestly say my body and joints were grateful for all the time spent in the gym getting ready.

Choose Cleaner Protein Powder Sources

Whey, pea, and rice proteins often test cleaner than h**p or soy. Unflavored or vanilla powders usually contain fewer metals than chocolate versions. Cleaner choices reduce exposure to arsenic and other contaminants. Legion Whey+ and NOW Sports Pea Protein are solid options.

Buy Protein Powder From Transparent Brands

Choose companies that publish Certificates of Analysis and share their testing standards. Transparency protects you from contaminants like cadmium, which can strain kidneys and reduce bone density. Reliable choices include Transparent Labs, Naked Nutrition, and Optimum Nutrition.

Third-Party Tested Proteiin Powder Brands

Choose protein powders with NSF Certified for Sport, Informed Sport, or ConsumerLab seals. These verify testing for lead, cadmium, and arsenic. Heavy metals can build up over time, especially after menopause when lead can re-enter the bloodstream. Trusted picks include Momentous, Garden of Life Sport, and Thorne.

Is Your Protein Powder Safe?

Consumer Reports recently found that some popular protein powders contain more lead in a single serving than what experts consider safe for an entire day. Heavy metals in supplements are not new, but many of us now rely on these powders daily rather than occasionally. And while the word toxic can feel alarming, heavy metals naturally exist in soil, water, and the food supply.

The goal is not fear. It is awareness. When we understand what to look for, we can choose products that support our strength, bone health, and overall wellbeing.

Over the next few weeks, we will share more information to help you make confident, informed choices that align with your wellness journey.

Train Balance, Power, and Gait

Strength and bone density matter most when they keep you on your feet. Balance practice, lower-body power, and mindful gait training reduce fall risk. Add single-leg balance, short bursts of controlled power, and daily movement that teaches your body how to stay steady. Small doses protect independence.

Feed the Musculoskeletal System

Protein, calcium, and vitamin D keep your muscles and bones strong. Most midlife adults thrive with about 1.0 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, spread through meals. Choose food-first calcium, ensure adequate vitamin D, and personalize your plan with your clinician.

Lift for Your Bones

Bones respond to load. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation and helps maintain density, especially after menopause. Pair lower-body moves like squats and step-ups with upper-body pulls and presses for whole-skeleton strength. If you have low bone density, get a personalized plan for safe progress.

Build Strong Muscle to Protect Everything Else

Muscle is a longevity organ. We start losing it in our 30s, and the pace picks up after 60. Strength training slows that decline, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports balance. Two to three sessions a week that target major muscle groups can transform how you move and feel.

Midlife is not a slowing down, it is an awakening. Muscle, bone, and brain work together to keep us steady and clear, especially as estrogen shifts. Over the next few weeks, we will share the science and spirit of this trifecta to help you stay strong, grounded, and deeply alive.
