About Her Stronger Self
Empowering women over 40 to embrace their strength, vitality, and grace through health, fitness, and wellness guidance.
Founder & CEO
Meet Julie
Hi, I'm Julie, and I'm passionate about helping women over 40 discover their inner strength and live their most vibrant lives. My journey began when I turned 45 and realized that the health and fitness advice I was finding online just wasn't speaking to me or my unique needs.
After struggling with hormonal changes, energy dips, and feeling disconnected from the fitness world, I decided to create a space where women like us could find real, practical guidance that actually works for our bodies and lifestyles.
After more than ten years working in clinical research, I founded Her Stronger Self to translate published research into plain language — a companion for women 40+ on this journey of transformation and self-discovery.
My Background
- Founder of Her Stronger Self

How We Work
Our articles are curated from published research. We use AI tools to assist with drafting and translation, and every article is reviewed by a human before publication. Editorial responsibility for all content lies with Julie Verpoort, founder of Her Stronger Self. Our content is research-based information for educational purposes — not medical advice; for personal health questions, always consult your physician.
