You have incredible insight and expertise. Our culture does a disservice to women regarding our outer appearance. The messages play in our head’s over and over again. Throw in aging and we spin out. Aging is not easy but it is wonderful to wake up to another beautiful day.

I like your approach, no judgement plus suggestions.

Thank you😊

This is very well written, especially from a young person. I have always enjoyed your articles but after reading this I am convinced again you are a brilliant person and thanks for sharing that brilliance. I am 72 and I was not prepared for the sadness that keeps trying to tackle me and lay me out flat. The loneliness that is all around. Thanks for the empowering suggestions don't give up...

Thank you so! I esp appreciate the calculator link you sent. As a vegetarian, this helps me keep some things in mind.

Dr. Lucy, as always, you nail it! Your reminders are reminding me to reach out for some mental health help following the death of my 93yo dad a few months ago. I’ve written about dealing with complicated feelings on my Substack (which is helpful!), but have mostly kept my “struggles” under wraps on my day-to-day life.

AWESOME tips here! I am surely prioritizing all - especially building muscle and getting in more protein.

Thank you for the calculator and for all that you do. I am about to be 55, just started HRT, all time heavy weight. I exercise, eat pretty healthy ( trying to do better) and it seems like everyone I know is on weight loss drugs. My doctor says losing weight would be beneficial (no kidding)! How do we balance this? I feel like nothing is working! Appreciate you sharing your insight and experience and grateful for this community.

Love the encouragement, but the protein recommendation is completely OFF. PLEASE research and UP that intake!
