You Aren’t Crazy. Menopause Causes Aches, Joint Pain, and Impacts Your Musculoskeletal Health with Dr. Vonda Wright
Nope, you aren’t imagining it! Menopause causes musculoskeletal symptoms in a whopping 80% of people. When estrogen walks out the door, many women suffer from joint pain, pins and needles, muscle pain, and biggies like osteoporosis and arthralgia, which is total body and joint pain. On this week’s show, top sports doc, orthopedic surgeon, and women’s health expert Dr. Vonda Wright breaks down the science on protecting bone health—think fracture protection and more—and shares ideas for building lean muscle mass at any age. We talk HRT, weight training, smart diet, and lifestyle choices, plus your biological versus chronological age. Bonus! Vonda shares a sneak peek at her newest book and gives us the BTS on how she trained for her first Spartan Woman’s race.

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
I look forward to Monday morning’s to listen to Kate and her podcast. Informative, fast-paced, entertaining, fun… Kate keeps the pace going with great questions and topics. Thank you for not just focusing on the pre-menopausal women…. There are many of us post - menopausal that need good information!
Interesting & informative
I’ve listened to a few of your podcasts and I am hooked! The one on Fascia was fascinating and I am much more mindful of moving more, breathing and hanging from whatever I can find throughout the day. I also plan to order your cousins invention omshe? That is brilliant and beautiful.
I look forward to listening and learning more from your topics.
Insightful, Intelligent and Inspiring!!!
I LOVE this podcast! I just turned 60 and my nest has recently emptied. I’ve been looking for different ways to approach (and embrace - hopefully one day soon…) this new stage in my life. This entertaining podcast really speaks to me and helps me feel hopeful. Katie asks intelligent and insightful questions of her guests. Each episode offers interesting topics and new ways to approach this new stage in my life with hope and inspiration!
I have followed Dr. Mary Claire Haver since the pandemic and was so happy to hear her spread her wisdom for longer than a TikTok clip. I just bought Microjoys: Finding Hope (Especially) When Life is Not Okay and LOVE this idea that we can find/create these “micro joys” even when we are simultaneously experiencing sadness and grief. I’ve listened to others and I’m looking forward to more.
Well done, Katie!!!
