Women Moving & Counting!
Our Mission
To support women in making daily movement a consistent part of how they care for their health.
Our Vision
To build a global community of women who are actively protecting their health and redefining what it means to age well.
Founded by Dr. Shawna Darou, ND
This movement was founded by Dr. Shawna Darou, naturopathic doctor and masters athlete, after more than two decades working with women navigating metabolic and hormonal transitions.
She saw firsthand that the women who maintained their strength, clarity, and independence were not the ones waiting for symptoms.
They were the ones who kept moving.
Movement is medicine, and it is the most impactful thing you can do to age well - starting now.
This movement exists to make that path visible - and accessible - to every woman.
Movement IS Medicine
Connecting women who are committed to protecting their future health, preserving their independence, and continuing to build strength over time.
The decisions you make now shape how you will live in the decades ahead.
Bring visibility, alignment, and momentum to women who are choosing to invest in that future- starting today.
And it’s the most underused longevity intervention we have.

Why movement matters - especially over 40
Movement is medicine - here are some of the powerful impacts of moving your body regularly. Movement is the most powerful longevity tool we have.
Daily Movement:
Restores insulin sensitivity as estrogen declines, helping prevent midlife weight gain, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes.
Preserves and builds muscle mass, which becomes your primary driver of metabolic stability and long-term independence.
Protects bone density during the rapid loss that occurs post-menopause, reducing fracture and osteoporosis risk.
Increases mitochondrial efficiency, supporting energy production at the cellular level when fatigue often becomes more common.
Improves cerebral blood flow and preserves brain volume, protecting long-term cognitive resilience.
Reduces dementia risk in a dose-dependent way, with higher cardiorespiratory fitness linked to dramatically lower Alzheimer’s risk.
Lowers systemic inflammation, one of the primary drivers of cardiovascular disease and age-related decline.
Acts as a natural antidepressant and anxiolytic, improving mood, stress tolerance, and emotional regulation during hormonal transition.
Founding Partners
As this movement grows, we are building strategic partnerships that help expand education, access, and awareness.
If your organization is aligned with advancing women’s health after 40, we invite a conversation.
