The #1 Tip for Women 40+ to Stay Healthy — From a Board-Certified Physician

The #1 Tip

A few years ago, one of my patients told me she’d stopped gardening.
“It just got too tiring,” she said. “My hands don’t feel strong anymore.”

That moment stayed with me. She wasn’t sick — she was just slowly losing muscle, the same way so many women do after 40. It happens quietly, until one day the body simply can’t do what it used to.

And it’s not just about gardening. It’s about energy, confidence, and independence.

Here’s My #1 Tip for Women Over 40

Prioritize your muscles like your life depends on it — because it does.

After 40, women lose up to 1% of muscle mass each year. That loss doesn’t just change how you look — it changes how you live.

Muscle supports your metabolism, bone density, balance, and even brain function. When it fades, everything else works harder: your heart, your joints, your mind.

What starts as fatigue or stiffness can quietly turn into a loss of mobility and freedom.

Why Protein and Strength Training Aren’t Always Enough

Most women know that protein and resistance training are important — but there’s another piece almost everyone misses: creatine.

Creatine isn’t just for athletes. Decades of research show it helps women over 40 maintain muscle, support bone health, and even sharpen cognition.
Yet most diets don’t provide enough, and few women supplement with it regularly.

Adding creatine consistently helps restore what time slowly takes away — strength, stability, and confidence in your own body.

The Habit That Changes Everything

The best results don’t come from overhauls; they come from consistency.

Small, science-backed habits practiced daily protect your future health more than anything else.

That’s why I helped create Aelami — to make it effortless for women to get the nutrients that support strength, metabolism, and longevity every day. Because health after 40 isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters — simply and consistently.

Your strongest years aren’t behind you.
They’re ahead — if you protect the muscle that carries you there.
