The Ola Ka Ola online health platform for women over 40 has member Linda Miller excited about taking charge of her health. A critical component of Ola Ka Ola, Miller said, is the sense of community, purpose and wellness that informs its direction, philosophy and results.
“Ola Ka Ola is a place where women meet, not only to exercise, but to motivate one another, inspire each other,” Linda said. “We worry about one another when we don’t show up. We are all like-minded, strong women who are determined to take care of our health and wellness.
“We support each other, we celebrate victories, birthdays and the birth of grandchildren. It’s so much more than just an exercise program. It’s a community, a family, a tribe; a tribe I am honored to belong to. I cannot see my life without it. I am so grateful for the friendships and mentorships. You can’t put a price tag on your health and wellness and I really, truly believe this is so well worth it. I love my Ola Ka Ola family.”
The origins of Ola Ka Ola—the only health platform of its kind for women over 40— can be traced to Michal Lissauer, a mother of five and former fitness trainer who after turning 40 was forced to take a closer look at her health. Michal suffered from Urinary Incontinence, a Pelvic Floor Dysfunction symptom.
This health challenge—pelvic floor muscles keep the bladder, bowel and internal reproductive organs in place—prompted Michal to team up with her longtime, over-40, health-conscious friend, Neta Shacham, to craft a Pelvic Floor Restore Program. The two women led a team of experts over the age of 40 and designed a plan that drew an audience of hundreds of women. This success set the stage for the launch of Ola Ka Ola, a Hawaiian phrase that translates to, “Life Goes On.”
“We make it easy to take care of your health,” Neta said. “Our solution makes it doable, fun and easy. Everything is designed exactly for what women over 40 need. With minimum effort, you can become
healthier, happier and more confident.”
The Ola Ka Ola online health platform promises a one-stop women’s health-hub with tailor-made programs, group fitness training, nutrition coaching, nutritionist-approved multivitamins, a supportive women’s tribe, and expert guidance targeting the health needs of women over 40.
Through its virtual platform, Ola Ka Ola offers an empowering environment that is private and casual. For example, the Pelvic Floor Restore Program offers women an online option that can save time, money and embarrassment.
Ola Ka Ola also offers guidance to women suffering from osteoporosis, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and mental health issues. Classes and programs include yoga, strength training, Pilates for menopause, balance, fat loss and stretching. And an award-winning dietitian-nutritionist has designed a multivitamin regimen for women over 40.
Illustrating the depth of the Ola Ka Ola program are blogs that, like everything else, can be accessed through olakaola.com. These blogs take a deep dive on health issues facing women over 40, and complement nicely the structured offerings that power the Ola Ka Ola orbit.
Blogs that add depth and dimension to the conversation Michal launched with Ola Ka Ola include:
“Battle of the Bulge, Could it be Something Else?”
“The One Pose that will Reduce Your Waistline”
“Are Your Shoes Sabotaging Your Pelvic Floor?”
“Two Ways You Can Support Your Pelvic Health through Cold Season”
Combining the blogs with the overall Ola Ka Ola program, Michal and Neta said, offers a holistic, understanding and compassionate approach to health challenges that she and her contemporaries face with resolve.
“Every multivitamin bottle that we send you, every live session or on-demand video that we produce, every nutrition session or fun event that we host, is designed with you in mind,” Michal said.
“We’re on a mission to make it easy and enjoyable for you to live a healthier life. A woman over 40 succeeding in her health journey will find herself in an exciting time of her life. And just like her, Ola Ka Ola is unique. There is no other platform that offers the multi-pronged approach we offer, combined with the strongest sense of community, calibrated for our singular audience, of women over 40.”
