Standing Tall with Attessa Bradley: How Purposeful Nutrition Helps Women Add Life to Their Years

What if one of the most powerful tools for midlife health was sitting right on your plate? In this inspiring and informative episode, Joy and Lorraine sit down with Attessa Bradley, founder of Standing Tall Foods, to talk about purposeful nutrition for women in perimenopause and beyond. After her own wake-up call at age 49, Attessa discovered a massive gap in the way women’s health—and especially nutrition—was being addressed. That realization sparked a mission: to create convenient, nourishing foods designed specifically to help women add life to their years, not just years to their lives. Together, we dive into the science, myths, and real-life challenges women face in midlife, and how simple nutritional shifts—especially increasing high-quality protein—can support bone health, heart health, brain function, and overall vitality. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting enough protein, felt confused about soy, or wanted more practical nutrition solutions designed with women in mind, this episode is for you. ________________________________________ In This Episode, We Discuss: • Attessa’s personal perimenopause wake-up call at age 49 • The massive gap in women’s health and nutrition support • Why women are at higher risk for: o Osteoporosis o Cardiovascular disease o Alzheimer’s disease • The importance of purposeful nutrition in midlife • Why protein needs increase as we age • Common myths and misconceptions about soy • What the research actually says about soy and women’s health • Why Attessa chose soy as the hero ingredient in her product • How Standing Tall Foods was developed • What makes the product different from typical “healthy snacks” • The journey from idea to launch • The power of community support for women-founded brands ________________________________________ Key Takeaways ✨ Midlife nutrition is not just about weight—it’s about strength, brain health, and longevity. ✨ Women often need more protein as they age, not less. ✨ Many fears around soy are based on outdated or misunderstood information. ✨ Proactive nutrition can help reduce risks of osteoporosis, heart disease, and cognitive decline. ✨ It’s never too late to build something meaningful—or to take better care of yourself. ________________________________________ About Our Guest Attessa Bradley is the founder of Standing Tall Foods, created after her own perimenopause experience revealed how underserved women are when it comes to nutrition.
