Dec 3 2025 ・ 6 min read
Build power and resilience with these science-backed wellness treatments.
This January, we’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Vonda Wright — a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon, longevity expert, and champion of women aging with power — to our Tucson resort for an immersive, hands-on program designed to reshape the way you think about midlife and the decades beyond.
Dr. Wright’s latest book, Unbreakable, is a groundbreaking guide to building strength, mobility, and confidence at every age. Her approach blends cutting-edge science with practical, actionable strategies. At the heart of her philosophy is the acronym F.A.C.E. — a simple framework that teaches you how to “face” aging with intention:
F — Flexibility & Joint Range of Motion: Maintain a full range of motion in your joints and prevent stiffness.
A — Aerobic Exercise: Activities that challenge your heart and lungs to build cardiovascular health.
C — Carry a Load: Strength training to build and maintain muscle and bone density.
E — Equilibrium & Balance (Plus Jumping): Work on your balance, which can deteriorate with age.
During her time at Canyon Ranch, Dr. Wright will lead dynamic discussions and interactive sessions that bring each of these pillars to life. You’ll learn how to train smarter, move with purpose, and cultivate a mindset that embraces aging as a time of power, possibility, and renewal.
