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.
