Every decade after 30, women lose up to 8% of their muscle mass—and by 50, many can’t even carry groceries upstairs. In this minisode, I sit down with celebrity fitness trainer Ben Bruno to cut through the noise and talk about what really keeps you strong, mobile, and confident for life. From full-body training to bone-density myths, we unpack the truth about longevity, fitness, and how to stay powerful well into your 50s and beyond.
This episode features highlights from our full conversation, which premiered August 19th, 2025. Watch the full episode here → https://youtu.be/BeDB8pAfpLs?si=Lfg-ISGmVxYB0SLq
