For women in their second act · Issue 001 out now
Health and wealth for women who intend to get better at fifty, not quieter.
We read the studies. We buy the thing. You get the verdict.
What is actually new in longevity and skin, what is worth the money, what we are cooking and wearing, and how two women built a company after the kids left.
Free, delivered to your inbox.
A new issue every month, free, forever.
Peptides and skin decoded by someone who spent twenty-five years inside pharmaceuticals.
Peptide Reconstitution Without the Guesswork, the whole course. Terminology, sterility, storage and the dosing math. Unlocked the day you subscribe, all of it at once, not drip-fed.
The Wishlist · a taste
What building health and wealth at fifty actually looks like.
A taste of what fills the Wishlist each month. Every issue it is numbered, written up and linked, including the two things I put my own name on, clearly marked.

There was no magazine for her.
I looked. I am fifty-three and I subscribe to almost everything.
There is a magazine for the woman who wants to age gracefully and wait. There are four for the woman who wants a ten-step routine.
There is not one for the woman who reads the actual study. Who runs her own protocol and adjusts it. Who wants to know what is genuinely new this month and what is simply being marketed harder. Who still wants to know where the coat is from. And who is quietly building something of her own at an age when she was told to start winding down.
She does not want to be told she looks good for her age. She wants to know what works.
So Kari and I built it.
Who it's for
You already know
how to read a label.
Forty to seventy. Already running something, or about to. Done being handed a range and a shrug.
You are not looking for permission, and you are certainly not looking for a gentle wellness column.
Inside Issue 001 · The Reinvention Issue
A sneak peek.
Thin, and still in trouble
There is a name for the fat you cannot pinch, and your jeans will never tell you about it.
The compound everyone is whispering about
Taken apart to the receptor. What the research actually shows, and exactly where it stops.
That weighted vest everyone suddenly owns
The expensive one, the forty-dollar one, and whether either does anything at all.
The $117 cream and the $49 one
What the copper is actually doing, and why I put my own name on one of them.
Nobody warned me about the reading glasses
And four other things at fifty that nobody thought to mention.
Two girls in Monterrey, 1995
Thirty years later, a company. What it actually took.
Coming up in the issues after this one: the recipes we actually make, what we are lifting and why, the skincare worth the shelf space, and what is genuinely happening in exosomes and peptides.
Not a first attempt
5,000
women already read me every week.
Hot Girl Biology is what I am building next. Issue 001 is free, and it goes to every one of them.

Upgrading, not aging.
We talk about aging like we're losing something. But what if we're actually upgrading?
The older I get, the clearer I become. My standards get higher, my circle gets smaller, my tolerance for nonsense gets lower. I protect my peace, I trust myself more, and I stop shrinking to fit in.
I think aging is one of life's greatest upgrades.
