5 Things Women in Their 20s & 30s Should Know About Their Health

Your 20s and 30s are formative years—not just in terms of career and relationships, but for your long-term health and wellness. The habits you build now set the foundation for how you’ll feel in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. That’s why we asked our Wellness Advisor and women’s health expert, Taylor, to share her top five tips for thriving in this pivotal stage of life.

Whether you're navigating hormonal changes, building a fitness routine, or just trying to feel your best day-to-day, these tips are simple, actionable, and impactful.

1. Understand Your Cycle

When it comes to your health, knowledge truly is power—especially when it comes to your menstrual cycle. Understanding the phases of your cycle helps you work with your body, not against it. From energy fluctuations to mood shifts and nutrient needs, each phase offers insight into how to support yourself best.

Start tracking your cycle using apps like Natural Cycles, which makes it easy to log symptoms, identify patterns, and predict fertile windows. For a deeper dive, consider joining The Lanby’s Fertility Program, where we guide you through cycle syncing, hormonal education, and more.

2. Prioritize Strength Training

Many women overlook strength training, but it becomes increasingly important as we approach our 30s. This is the time to build a strong foundation—literally. Regular strength training supports bone density, muscle mass, metabolism, and even hormonal balance.

Aim for at least three strength-based workouts per week. We can’t recommend Evlo Fitness enough. 

3. Eat Enough 

A common issue we see among women in their 20s and 30s? Under-eating. Whether it's due to busy schedules, diet culture, or stress, not getting enough fuel can lead to low energy, irregular cycles, mood swings, and elevated cortisol levels.

At The Lanby, we help you determine your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and develop a personalized nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle and meets your body’s needs—without the guesswork.

4. Don’t Skip Your Annual Check-Ups

Preventive care is one of the most powerful tools in your health toolkit. Annual exams, blood work, and screenings provide a baseline and help catch issues early—often before symptoms arise.

Make your annual check-up non-negotiable. Check out our annual health checklist here for essential appointments to prioritize each year. 

5. Nurture Connection

One often-overlooked aspect of health? Community. Studies continue to show that strong social ties contribute to lower stress levels, better immune function, and even a longer lifespan. Whether it's weekly catch-ups with friends, joining a group fitness class, or connecting with a support group, quality relationships matter. If you’re a member of The Lanby, make sure to take advantage of the events we have. 

Remember: health isn't just about what you eat or how often you exercise—it’s also about how supported and connected you feel.
