How Is Your Body Really Aging
It’s Worth Getting Some Support
We want to make sure you live the strongest, most independent life possible. Your score indicates that support would be a really good idea for you.
Your answers suggest that your body would benefit from more support right now. Not because something is “wrong,” but because your body is asking for attention.
Many women reach this stage by being capable, resilient, and adaptable. They’ve adjusted where needed and “carried on”. Over time, though, those quiet adjustments can add up. The body quietly compensates for a long time before it starts sending clearer signals.
The important thing is that you’re paying attention now, and that gives you more options moving forward.
Supporting Your Body Starts With Action
The good news is this: There is still a lot you can influence.
Small, intentional actions taken now can reduce strain, improve comfort, and help protect your strength and independence for the years ahead.
You don’t need to overhaul your life or have all the answers today. What matters most is starting to respond to what your body is telling you.
What You Can Do Right Now
These steps can help reduce strain and support your body in the short term:
Slow down transitions (sitting to standing, getting out of bed, turning quickly). Rushing often increases instability and stiffness.
Move more frequently.
Instead of trying to sit or stand “perfectly”, focus on gentle movement. This resets the nervous system far more effectively.Notice how your body responds after activity.
Pay attention to how long it takes for your body to feel settled again. Longer recovery times are a helpful signal (not a failure), and often improve with the right support.Avoid pushing through background discomfort.
If something consistently feels tight, heavy, or off (even if it’s mild) that’s often the body asking for attention, not effort. Seek out some 1:1 support.Breathe before you move.
Before stretching or exercising, take a few slow breaths. This helps your nervous system feel safe enough to release tension, instead of bracing against it.
These steps can help, but they work best as support, not as a long-term solution on their own.
