Women's health · 55+ · Clinician-reviewed
The decades you build for.
After menopause the risk picture changes shape. Bone loss accelerates, cardiovascular risk rises to meet and then exceed men's, and cognitive health becomes something you actively protect rather than assume. Prevention pays its largest dividend here, in your fifties, sixties, seventies and well beyond.
What women bring us at this stage.
- Bone density and fracture risk
- Cardiovascular risk and lipids
- Brain health and cognition
- Strength, muscle mass and falls
- Metabolic health and body composition
- Continuing or stopping hormone therapy
What we look at first.
The three systems that decide independence: bone, heart and brain. Where appropriate that means DEXA, a full lipid and metabolic panel, blood pressure, and a frank conversation about strength training.
Resistance training is not optional here. It is the single intervention with the strongest evidence across every outcome on this page.
Prevention, not repair.
Almost everything that limits women in their seventies and eighties is set in motion in their fifties and sixties, and most of it is modifiable. That is the entire argument for acting now.

Common questions.
Is it too late to start?
No. Bone and muscle respond to loading at any age, and cardiovascular risk factors remain modifiable throughout life. The gains are smaller than starting at forty, and far larger than not starting at all.
Should I stay on HRT after 60?
There is no arbitrary stop date. The decision is individual and weighs symptoms, bone and cardiovascular risk against your own history. Your Clinician will review it with you rather than apply a rule.
