I just turned 40 with the spine of a 60 year old.
Bone on bone, with almost no disc left. I know exactly what it feels like to worry your back is aging faster than the rest of you.
I have taught Pilates to women in perimenopause and menopause, ages 38 to 60 plus, since 2018. Over those years I kept seeing the same pattern. This stage of life needs a different approach. The old advice to work out more and eat less does not work here, and it can make your spine worse.
That drop is a fast version of what happens to every woman through menopause. It changed how I train, recover, and take care of my spine. Bulletproof Your Back is everything I learned, built for women going through the same shift.
