Orthopedic sport surgeon Dr. Vonda Wright is looking to change the way women age in America.
“I am acutely aware that even though we’re living longer, we’re suffering longer, and that most of the conversation around longevity in this country so far has been directed at men, or using the science of men,” Wright tells CNBC Make It.
As a clinician who has studied longevity for two decades, Wright equips her patients with the tools they need for healthy aging. She recently published a guide to longevity, with a focus on women, called “Unbreakable.”
Her book explores four core pillars for longevity: nutrition, exercise, lifestyle and supplements. But the No. 1 thing she says women should do to age well would surprise you.
“If you ask me, what the number one [thing] when someone’s closing the book that I want them to walk away with is I want them to walk away with mindset mobilization,” Wright says.
