When it comes to fitness, health and wellness, women over 40 should forget about the New Year’s resolutions, forget about 2022 and forget about 2023.
Michal Lissauer, co-founder of the Ola Ka Ola online health platform, wants her peers to focus on the now.
Go ahead, Michal says—quit the gym. Stop chasing that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It’s at your fingertips right now, it’s called Ola ka Ola and it can be the last health regimen you ever need to engage.
“Women have tried so many things, so many diets, so many fitness routines,” Michal said. “But with us, the main difference is the personal touch, and the like-minded women, the community they feel—they’re doing it together. The team is with them all the way and, of course, we offer multivitamins that are designed to meet the unique needs of their bodies, which is nice.”
Ola ka Ola is a Hawaiian phrase that translates to, “Life Goes On.”
The Ola ka Ola online platform is a health and wellness hub designed for women over 40, by women over 40—Michal and her co-founder, Neta Shacham. Ola ka Ola features live group fitness training sessions; nutrition coaching; nutritionist-approved multivitamins; a supportive women’s tribe; and expert guidance.
All of this is accessed from the privacy of home, and all of it addresses the urgency surrounding a woman’s health when she reaches 40, and can experience perimenopause.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women’s Health, the average age for menopause in the U.S. is 52. So Ola ka Ola plays its pivotal role as a woman’s body begins to change in dramatic ways, and allows them to stay ahead of the curve and be prepared for the onset of menopause.
“As their estrogen declines, the 40ish woman is at increasingly higher risk of certain health disorders,” reads webmd.com. “Their bones, reproductive organs, breasts and heart all become vulnerable.”
Laura Corio, M.D., a gynecologist and instructor at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, told webmed.com that, “During this period, bones start changing because you’re losing estrogen and progesterone. Dwindling estrogen puts women at higher risk for uterine cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, heart disease, diabetes.”
Ola ka Ola is a perfect fit for this critical time in a women’s life, as it offers guidance related to:
- Osteoporosis
- High-blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
- Obesity
- Mental health
Ola ka Ola classes and programs include Pilates for menopause; yoga; strength training; core and pelvic floor restore; balance; fat loss; and stretching. An award-winning dietitian-nutritionist has designed a multivitamin regimen for women over 40.
“When I reached menopause, I struggled,” said Ola ka Ola member Linda. “I was starving myself without losing any weight, so I knew I needed to make a change, and that’s where Ola ka Ola came in.
“I’m about to be 60 years old. I recently had a doctor’s appointment and she was overwhelmed by my transformation. She even asked what my secret was—so I told her. If you are out there struggling with any of your weight goals or health challenges, I really recommend Ola ka Ola. It’s been truly great looking at the mirror lately. I’m not shying away from looking at myself and it’s all thanks to this wonderful program and all the wonderful instructors.”
