When Social Media Gets It Wrong: 10 Myths About Midlife Wellness
Presented by Pilates Lab x Jennifer McDaniel, MS, RDN, LD
Confused by the constant stream of wellness advice on your feed? You’re not alone. From protein panic to probiotic obsession, social media is full of half-truths, over-generalizations, and one-size-fits-all health hacks that can do more harm than good – especially in midlife.
In this eye-opening workshop, we’ll break down 10 of the most common myths about midlife wellness—what the science actually says, and how to make sense of your changing body, hormones, metabolism, and mindset.
We’ll cover things like:
- The truth about how much protein you actually need.
- Whether seed oils are really the enemy.
- The truth about cortisol, workouts, and “fat-burning” advice.
- What muscle loss after 30 really means (and how to fight it).
- The detox trend, intermittent fasting, probiotics, and more!
If you’re tired of being told what to do by influencers half your age, this workshop is for you. Walk away with clarity, confidence, and a no-nonsense approach to feeling strong and well in midlife.
The workshop will begin with a 30-minute all-levels Mat class led by Pilates Lab instructor, Tess Losada.

A Farmers Market Reset: A Tired Mom’s Reminder on Connection
With my husband and two older boys in Florida for 10 days, it was just me and my youngest son back home in St. Louis. He wasn’t thrilled, to say the least. His brothers were off having fun, and he stayed back for summer school, something we had chosen as a family to...
