Stronger muscles and bones, increased mobility, lifelong independence, and a new mentality for aging with power—this cutting-edge guide to nutrition, training, and lifestyle will optimize a woman's body for longevity, through menopause and beyond. 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 women up for broken bones, increasingly limited mobility, and reduced independence later in life. Indeed, as Dr. Wright explains in Unbreakable, because we tend to ignore the fitness of our skeletal muscle—the engine that drives our healthspan—our muscles and bones can get weak and crack under our own weight, sending us to the ground. Unbreakable outlines the path to protecting ourselves against this too-common fate. Drawing on her decades of experience as an orthopedic surgeon helping women at all fitness levels to repair their bones and regain strength, Dr. Wright gives clear action steps to counteract the "timebombs" of aging in four critical categories: Nutrition: What to eat to extinguish inflammation, repopulate the gut biome, and support strong bones and muscle growth. Exercise: Pinpointing the right combination of cardio and resistance training for you to aid in tissue regeneration and improve metabolic function. Lifestyle: How to manage chronic stress, get more restorative sleep, and turn down system inflammation in daily life. Supplements: What to take to target the elimination of “zombie cells” and improve cell function. Including a unique quiz to assess your present musculoskeletal fitness (your "Unbreakable Score"), information about baseline blood and mobility tests that will help you understand your current health state, twenty easy, anti-inflammatory recipes, and a master exercise plan to help you pace your weekly workouts, Unbreakable is an invaluable roadmap for adding more healthy life to your years.

"We have proof that aging doesn't have to be a downward slope. There's your chronological age-what the calendar says-and then there's your biological age, which is a measure of how well your body and brain are holding up for your chronological age. And there's mounting evidence that a healthy lifestyle can actually lower your biological age from the inside out. These healthy lifestyle changes-to your diet, exercise, and sleep habits and to how your deal with stress-are totally accessible to anyone and bring amazing results. How do we know? We combed the latest science and consulted with a dream team of advisors in health, fitness, nutrition and beauty to roll our findings into a simple Younger in 8 Weeks Plan. Then we tested it on 21 women ages 36 to 66 who'd been struggling with weight gain, lack of energy, loss of luster, and other common age-related issues."-
