Let’s make aging your comeback story. 💪

10/10/2025

At 50, Donna felt frumpy.

She’d lost her spark, her energy — and a little bit of herself.

But she didn’t stay there.

Ten years later, she’s surfing.

She’s lifting weights. She’s living proof that strength doesn’t fade with age — it’s built through choice, consistency, and courage.

That’s what Aging with Attitude is about. 💪

It’s not about chasing youth — it’s about reclaiming power.

Because the real anti-aging secret isn’t in a cream or a pill…

It’s in how you move, how you train, and how you show up for yourself every day.

This month, we’re rewriting the story of aging — one rep, one mindset shift, one comeback at a time.

🗓 Join us on October 16 for “Aging with Attitude: Why Strength Training is Your Best Anti-Aging Weapon.”

“I’m incredibly grateful to Donna for helping me reclaim my health! After years of persistent inflammation, I finally found a practitioner who digs deeper than symptoms and helps me get to the root cause. At nearly 65, I have more energy and vitality than I’ve had in years.” — Mindy L.
At MMFH, we believe aging doesn’t mean slowing down — it means rediscovering your strength, energy, and confidence. 💪

🤗👋🏼 Hey, ladies! Donna Kaplan Figueroa here of Midlife Midwife Functional Health and I need to talk to you about the biggest lie you've been told about menopause. Everyone focuses on the annoying stuff—the hot flashes, the mood swings, the bad sleep. But that's a distraction. We've been missing the main event, and it's happening inside your chest. ❤️
Menopause is not just an inconvenience; it is a critical wake-up call for your heart health. Your estrogen has been the supreme bodyguard for your arteries for decades, and when she packs up and leaves, things get vulnerable. Conventional medicine missed this story completely! They're so busy handing out Band-Aids, they ignore the root cause of the silent chaos in your cardiovascular system.
I recently spilled all the sassy, unfiltered truth on this topic in a brand new article. I dive into why bioidentical estradiol can be your secret weapon, how to use advanced labs to stop guessing, and why you don't have to choose between managing symptoms and protecting your future. If you've been told “your labs are fine” but you know something's just not right, this article is for you.
It's time to stop ignoring the biggest risk of midlife. Get the full story and learn how to build that fortress around your heart. Click the link right above this video or below in the comments to read the article at The Menopause Association: “Could Menopause Be Contributing to Your Cardiovascular Risk?” Go read it now, and let's own this second half! 😉 🙌🏼
DM me if you have any questions or want to schedule a consult – I’m here for you! 💕😀

⁉️ Has your summer fun left you feeling sluggish and wondering how to stop the crazy carb cravings? 🍭
Ladies, let's talk about the post-summer struggle. You finally got into your groove, and now—BAM!—you're tired, 🥱 you're bloated, and you think it’s just the pumpkin spice, but it's deeper than that.
It's not just the weather; it's a cortisol crash. Your adrenal glands are worn out from summer stress and travel, and they're triggering an insulin rollercoaster. 🎢 This metabolic whiplash makes you crave sugar for a quick fix, leading to inflammation and that stubborn midsection weight.
Stop fighting the cravings and start stabilizing. The feisty fix is simple: Protein First. Anchor your meals with 20-30 grams of protein. This stabilizes your blood sugar, calms your cortisol, and shuts down that frantic signal for more carbs. It's the ultimate metabolic reset.
So are you ready to stop settling for the slump? Start with the protein trick tonight, plan to attend one of my October events for a dose of motivation, or sign up for a consultation with me to help you get your groove back! and feel free to DM me if you're just not sure where to start.
