Description
“Building muscle and bone are what I like to call my nursing home avoidance plan. There is no better mentor in this important work than Dr. Vonda Wright.”—Mary Claire Haver, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The New Menopause
Strong skeletal muscle drives healthy longevity yet too often women in particular 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 orthopedic 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.

💪✨ “Aging isn’t a decline—it’s a training opportunity.” ✨💪
If you’re a woman approaching midlife and beyond, Unbreakable by Dr. Vonda Wright is the science-backed, empowering guide you didn’t know you needed. 🔥
This book isn’t about shrinking or slowing down—it’s about powering up. Dr. Wright reframes how we view perimenopause and aging by shining a spotlight on what she calls the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and gives us real tools to fight back.

What can I say about Unbreakable A Woman’s Guide to Aging with Power by Dr. Vonda Wright except I love this book! And I love Dr. Vonda Wright and her message for women of peri-menopausal and menopausal age. So informative and yet still so positive. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and defeated, I feel empowered and educated. I can’t wait to get the physical copy in my hand on release day! Thank you Dr. Vonda Wright, Rodale Books and NetGalley for letting me preview this wonderful book, Unbreakable A Woman’s Guide to Aging with Power. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is an extremely detailed, scientifically based, essential guide for women who want to stay (or become) strong and vital during menopause and beyond. This is a comprehensive guide that includes specific exercises, recipes, information about HRT and other medical interventions, and more, all from an orthopedic surgeon who knows what she’s talking about. Highly recommend!
