Baby Boomer Gals

We’re for baby boomer women who want to stay strong, capable and ‘themselves’ — without being told what they should be doing about their health.

Most Women Don’t Ignore Their Health

By the time women reach their 60s, health isn’t an abstract idea.

They’ve been carrying it with them throughout life.

It’s something they think about in the background — while they’re caring for others, managing work or retirement, adapting to changing bodies, and navigating a healthcare system that often rushes or dismisses them.

Many feel broadly well. Some feel tired in ways they can’t quite explain. Most are aware that what used to work once, may not work now.

Muscles & Marbles exists for women in that in-between space — not unwell, not perfect, just wanting to stay strong and able to do what matters to them.

How We Approach Women’s Health

At Muscles & Marbles, we don’t believe women need more motivation or self-improvement advice. We believe they need:

  • Clear explanations they can trust;
  • Research that reflects real people over true time;
  • Factual evidence not popular fads;
  • Respect for their lived experience;
  • Practical ideas that don’t require becoming someone else.

We focus on preventative medicine — translated carefully, referenced fully, and able to be absorbed at a leisurely pace.

No chasing trends. No ‘before and after’ thinking. No urgency.

A TASTE OF OUR WORK

Secrets Behind 9 Medical Myths   

What Women Like About Us

Many women who read our content say they value that:

  • We take women’s physiology seriously, not as a footnote;
  • We explain why research varies with age and gender;
  • We’re open about uncertainty and limits to the research;
  • We don’t assume they have unlimited time, energy or money;
  • We only sell eBooks; they’re not a carrot for something else;
  • Once they buy an eBook, they get all updates for free.

    An Easy Way To See How We Think

    If you’d like a taste of our approach, The Secrets Behind 9 Medical Myths is a good place to start. (The link shows you what’s inside.)

    It’s a short, free eBook that shows how medical research isn’t always what it seems — and why there’s so much good news for boomer gals, if you know where to look.

    We link directly to the sources we cite, so you can read the material yourself and decide what to trust.

    Read it when it suits you. Keep it for reference. Share it with someone you think may benefit.

    No upsells. No gimmicks. No pressure.

    Just purchased a mixed case from Kemeny’s on your advice – and saved an amazing $119 on one order. Can’t wait to see how much I save in a year.

    Very happy to pay this small fee for what is the best weekly wine mailer on offer. Keep up the great work.

    The big surprise, as you say Kim, is there is literally no relationship between price and quality in the wine world. The $10 Azahara you recommended for our farewell party was ridiculously good.

    Lisa and I have an annual Xmas dinner for twenty of our closest friends and your BWW delivers the goods every year. Not a bad bottle ever. Keep up the great work, mate.

    Huge devotion! Weekly updates! A really useful consumer service. You deserve all the goodwill you have.

    I would never have found the Dandelion Vineyards Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling at Aldi for $15:00. I was down to the last two bottles and they had cost $20. Well done, Kim. Happy to recommend BWW to any person who wants fair, balanced ratings on good wines and where to buy them at bargain prices.

    Didn’t know some of the wines, but I was blown away by the quality available for this kind of money. I’ve paid a lot more for labels I know and been hugely disappointed.

    Last year I used your Best Wines advice to pre-order 6 months’ supply of wine to be shipped to me overseas. What a treat! Thanks for the great resource, Kim!

    I buy wine for about a dozen families, for a company and for myself, with current cellar stock 1500 bottles. Your advice is a highly valued and reliable bench mark and, by the way, I am not a connoisseur collector but a consumer. I say drink and enjoy (in moderation of course)!

    I continue  to buy and taste  on your recommendations and thoroughly enjoying the experience and to date, not one disappointment. Don’t plan to retire soon!

    Congratulations, Kim. You’ve been an invaluable source of information and I have no doubt that I am drinking better wine as result. Having only lived in Australia for 5 years, you’ve really given me an appreciation of how much great wine this country produces. So much so that I now can take a bottle to dinner with friends who have many more years of wine experience than myself and even raise a few compliments on my selections. Safe to say I think you can a lot of the credit for that!

    Been looking for years for someone who concentrates on the value end of the wine market. It’s written from the right perspective and reduces the legwork needed to find good wines. Thank you.

    You have a gift for wine description that mercifully avoids all the bullshit about the aromatic nuances of pear skins and Virginia tobacco leaf … Enjoying the prices, too.

    You do great work and I wouldn’t miss your Weekly for quids. We’ve bought many 12 packs based on your lists and every bottle has been a hit.

    Since I subscribed a month or two ago, I’ve used your alerts to guide all my wine buying and they’ve all been good choices. Now I find myself looking forward to reading the mailer on Friday afternoon.

    I read with great interest every week all the wines you recommend.  I am a big fan of Riesling especially Leo Burings but have enjoyed your other recommendations Frogmore, Claymore and Heemskerk.  I buy all my wines through Kemenys as I like to support the independent wine suppliers.

    Bought some of the Hilltops Shiraz (hidden label) from Kemenys after reading your recommendation. Excellent choice. Love your mailer. Thanks.

    I’ve ordered a couple of 6-packs from your great list of value wines. I have about 500 wines racked up in my cellar but continually need drink-now wines for daily consumption.  However, some of your suggestions are making me wonder whether I need to buy more racks … Thanks.

    I impressed my husband…..I bought the last 6 bottles of 2015 Lizzie at our cellar.  I have also introduced him to your website.  He was very amused with some of your comments. He is now looking forward to your weekly email, too.  Keep up the great work.

    Thanks Kim, what a ripping mailer. I suspect my bank account will suffer, but the quality of wine will improve and my stockpile might also grow!  Thanks again.

    I usually avoid South American wine like the plague. However I went on a limb and trusted your advice on  Montes limited selection in today’s Friday mail out. For $10, it is very, very good.  Nice work Kim!!

    Great work on the mailer – provides a great service to those of us who have never really developed their expertise. We need to be saved from ourselves and our irrational way of making wine purchases. Really enjoy the price/quality ratio.
