Wellness After 40

2026 Health Trends for Women Over 40

Katie Ewaskiew Season 2 Episode 12

Every year, new health trends take over social media — but by the time we reach our 40s, most of us aren’t looking for hype. We’re looking for answers.

In this episode of Wellness After 40, we break down the 2026 health trends women are hearing about everywhere — and separate what social media is saying from what the science actually supports.

We take a grounded, non-judgmental look at:

  • HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy): why it’s back in the spotlight, what’s changed since FDA approval, and why this conversation is more nuanced than TikTok makes it seem
  • GLP-1 medications: why they’re the most polarizing topic in wellness, who they may help, and why muscle, bone health, and strength still matter more than the scale
  • Creatine: why this once-misunderstood supplement is becoming a quiet midlife trend for strength, energy, and aging well

This is not medical advice — it’s a clear, honest conversation for women navigating perimenopause, metabolism changes, muscle loss, and real life.

If you’re tired of extremes and just want thoughtful, evidence-informed conversations about midlife health, this episode is for you.
