If you are a professional woman in your 30s or 40s noticing changes in your energy, sleep, body composition, or joints — and you have been told it is just stress or aging — this article is for you.
Suzie Geria has built her entire coaching practice on the research of three physicians who have dedicated their careers to understanding female physiology: Dr. Stacy Sims, Dr. Vonda Wright, and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. In this article she breaks down exactly who they are, what they have written, and why every woman over 30 should read their work.
Dr. Sims reframes how women should train and eat through perimenopause. Dr. Wright makes the case for musculoskeletal health as the foundation of lifelong independence. Dr. Lyon shifts the entire conversation from fat loss to muscle building — and in doing so, gives professional women permission to stop restricting and start building.
This is the reading list that underpins Her Strength Protocol — and the fastest way to understand why the approach works.
