The Full-Body Program for Women in Midlife Who Are Ready For Real Change

The Full-Body Program for Women in Midlife Who Are Ready For Real Change

You don't need another "6-week shred," calorie-cutting detox, or slew of empty promises about what's possible in 30 days.

Actually...I'm not here to tell you what you need.

Aren't we all just a little tired of that?

What I can tell you is how I can help you if you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and like a deer in headlights with 1300 different "influencers" and 'experts' yelling at you.

LIFT is a full body weights program that teaches you how to actually get strong for good.

The kind of strong that not only looks fantastic, but that carries groceries, kids and your entire beautiful body without pain + fatigue.

No rhetoric. All results (that stick).

Tired of Feeling Overwhelmed, Confused,

or Like You're Just Winging It?

Let's Be Honest...

Which Means...

  • Most workout programs skip the education.

  • You might be lifting weights, but not building strength.

  • They assume you already know what a Romanian deadlift is (and how to not throw out your back)

  • You might be exercising, but still scared to use the cable machine.

  • They prioritize aesthetics over actual functionality.

  • You're not sure if what you're doing is helping or hurting your future self.

LIFT focuses on teaching you the foundations and strategies that result in…

  • building muscle

  • improving metabolism (helloooo increased calorie burn)

  • changing body composition (yes your waist is still there and we are going to find it) 

All while avoiding injury and protecting joints and mobility.

Which sounds boring, right?

But talk to anyone with chronic pain or that 80 year old grandmother you know who broke her hip and never quite recovered.

You’ll realize that healthy joints and mobility are the REAL elixir of youth that no one is talking about.

If you are ready to make weight lifting a part of your life for good, start here

If you’re ready to save 1000’s of dollars on future programs and buy something you can grow with, this is it.

If you’re looking for a quick fix or still playing the short game when it comes to your health, this isn’t the program for you.

We don’t do “muscle-confusion” here.

We do confidence, clarity, and calm, controlled muscle-building.

Our bodies are not an aesthetic.

We are not couches, or paint colours, or a Pinterest post.

We are not decor.

Choosing a workout program because it promises a certain 'aesthetic' - whether it be a 'muscle mommy' or a 'pilates princess' - has proven to be ineffective.

How do I know?

By the thousands or women I've personally worked with who came to me utterly exhausted and beat up by using this approach.

Who were stuck in midlife still chasing a dream - a certain jean size, or a certain shape...

Until they decided to do things differently.

Let's build you a strong body that not only looks fantastic, but that WORKS.

Why LIFT is Different

LIFT is a smart, progressive 4-day split that actually teaches you how to lift weights safely and strategically. 

We cover what it actually means to lift heavy, and lift for REAL results.

This is about muscle growth without joint wreckage, and strength gains that last well into your 60s, 70s, and beyond.

I use this as a base program myself as a chiropractor with over 20 years of lifting experience and 15+ years of clinical work focused on joint mechanics and mobility.

This Program Is...

  • Form-first: 22 detailed exercise tutorials for both gym and home

  • Joint-friendly: Build strength without wrecking your knees, spine, or shoulders

  • Progressive: You’ll learn how to safely implement progressive overload

  • Empowering: Designed to demystify gym equipment and help you own the weights floor

You can have both - big, juicy glutes AND pain-free knees.

Gorgeous, sculpted shoulders AND a healthy spine.

**psst: time for me to pull back the curtain a bit here. 

Weight programs don’t need to constantly be changed for you to see results.

In fact, ask any fit person you see and they’ll tell you that being strong and in shape is about consistency, great form and gradually making an exercise harder by changing the weight, not always the exercise itself. 

Bonuses That Go Beyond The Barbells

Push Up Progressions

A key exercise that many women can’t do but that are a fantastic proxy for overall upper body strength. We’re going to get you there one step at a time.

Pull Up Program

Pull-ups are incredibly hard but much like push-ups, fantastic for upper body strength. This trains for these in particular when you feel like taking things to the next level!

Sprinting Hero Guide

The only cardio we’ll ever push on you. Sprinting is strength training in disguise. We’ll show you how to do it without blowing out your knees or burning out your will to live.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m dealing with an injury, condition, or limitation. Can I still benefit from LIFT?

LIFT is designed to be beginner-friendly and flexible. You can start with very light weights and progress at your own pace, and our Master Form videos walk you through safe technique and proper cues. Strength training is a powerful way to support long-term health and aging well. That said, LIFT isn’t customized to individual medical needs, so we always recommend consulting your primary care physician before starting, especially if you have an injury, illness, or other health concerns.

I'm training at home - what kind of equipment do I need?

Each working in this guide includes a "gym" version and an "at home" alternative. Even if you're at the gym, you might find that the squat racks are all taken, or maybe you prefer the feel of dumbbells over a barbell. For working out at home, we recommend that you have dumbbells and resistance bands. If you have a weight bench and ankle weights, that's a bonus!

How long is the weightlifting program?

The program can and should be done over and over. This is the foundational program that Dr. Estima uses herself because weightlifting is not a "6 week shred" or a "3 months to a new you". It's a long game. As for the workouts, they are 5 exercises each and can take up to 45 minutes, depending on how long you rest for in between sets.

How often do I need to workout?

This is a workout that can be started 2x/week and slowly moved to 3x/week and 4x/week.

How long are the workouts?

There are 5 exercises per workout, and on average it takes 45 minutes to complete (depending on how long you rest in between sets, generally 1-3 minutes).

What is included within LIFT?

In our Welcome Section you'll have access to educational videos on how to lift heavy and safely, recovery, and feeling confidence in the gym. The master form section has detailed instructional videos from Dr. Stephanie, walking you through the exercises with technique cues and how to perform them correctly.

Then you'll receive a PDF guide with a 4-day split workout (listing the exercises, sets and reps) with templates on how to structure your workouts depending on if you workout 2x/week, 3x/week, or 4x/week.

Is there an app for the workout?

All of the videos can be accessed using an internet browser on your mobile device and we include a tutorial of how to do this within LIFT.

How long do I get access to LIFT for?

Once purchased, you'll receive access for the lifetime of the program.

Is the program in LIFT different from the program in YES?

LIFT is foundational - it covers proper form, how to progress, and alternate exercise options. Then it offers a 4 day split full body workout that focuses on strength for longevity AND gains. The workout in YES (Dr. Stephanie's group coaching program) is an 8 week program specifically designed to build an hourglass form, focusing exclusively on glutes and shoulders. So LIFT is a great value add as you get bonus education AND a new full body workout to add into your routine.

What is the refund policy?

For all digital products there is a zero refund policy, further outlined in the terms and conditions listed at the bottom of this page and at checkout.

Does LIFT include a mobility program?

LIFT is a 2-4 day weight lifting program that is form focused, joint friendly, progressive, and empowering.  It is designed to help you gain strength and muscle in midlife.  There is currently no mobility model in LIFT but we are developing a mobility program that will be out in late 2025/early 2026!

Do I get any coaching time or Q&As with Dr. Stephanie?

LIFT is a self-guided digital program, a resource you can use at your own pace. It’s not a coaching program, and there is no coaching or a doctor/patient relationship. Think of it like buying a book: everything you need is inside, but it’s designed for you to work through on your own. If you want to work with Dr Stephanie, then look out for details on her YES program which involves being coached by her directly.

Who do I contact for support?

If you have any technical issues, questions about how to navigate the program, find a broken link or video, or are having difficulties in accessing the materials, we want to know! Please email us at [email protected] with your full name and using the email address you used to purchase the program.

Hi, I'm Dr. Stephanie Estima

I've been weight training for over 20 years. I'm a Doctor of Chiropractic with a clinical focus on joint health, mobility, and female physiology.

This program brings together what I've learned in the gym and in the clinic.

PLUS, I've pulled in the incredible knowledge I've gained spending 100's of hours interviewing some of the world's leading experts on female health - I've spent years doing deep dives on longevity, muscle building, metabolism, peri/menopause and more on my Better! Podcast.

One of my passions is joint mechanics and mobility - so although I've mastered what formula to use in order to build a shape for my body that I love, I do it with my WHOLE body health in mind.

I'm obsessed with helping women build strong, capable bodies that work - not just look good in leggings (but that's nice too!).
