About Jen

Hi, I’m Jen. And I’m tired of wellness fads, too.

I built Wellness AF Club because I couldn’t find a single place that gave women like you and me straight answers backed by actual science.

So I go to the source. I dig into the peer-reviewed journals, the meta-analyses, the studies that actually hold up. Then I translate all of it into something you can use.

“The best plan is the one you’ll actually repeat. Repeatable beats extreme, every single time.”

The Podcast

Each topic comes with receipts.

Each episode takes one topic and breaks down the research, then shows you exactly what to do with it.

New episodes dig into fat loss, muscle preservation, bone health, hormones, metabolism, everything that actually matters for women who want to live a healthy life.

Why it matters

The science is solid. The wellness internet just buries it.

The boring numbers no one’s posting. Also the ones that matter most.

5%
body weight loss needed for meaningful clinical health improvements
~0%
change in your metabolism from age 20 to 60
+2.9%
bone density gained from lifting heavy just twice a week
20–50%
how much people underestimate their calorie intake on average

Common questions

Everything you need to know about what this place is, and what it isn’t.

Wellness AF Club is an evidence-based wellness brand and podcast for women, hosted by Jen Stanley. We translate peer-reviewed health science into practical, sustainable guidance, covering fat loss, strength training, bone health, hormones, and nutrition, all grounded in what the research actually says.
The podcast is designed for women who are tired of conflicting wellness advice and want evidence-based, practical information they can actually use. If you’ve tried the programs, the cleanses, and the cutting carbs after 6pm and you know something isn’t adding up, this is for you.
We cover fat loss and calorie science, strength training and muscle preservation, bone health and osteoporosis prevention, hormones and perimenopause, nutrition fundamentals, supplements worth taking (and ones that aren’t), and the psychology of sustainable behavior change, all grounded in peer-reviewed research.
The Wellness AF Club podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
Yes. The podcast, all articles, and the weekly email newsletter are completely free. Jen also offers a free macro and calorie calculator on the site that gives you a personalized calorie target, macro breakdown, and deficit range based on your goal weight.
Every claim on Wellness AF Club is tied to peer-reviewed research, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and systematic reviews. We cite our sources, flag what’s emerging vs. well-established, and never recommend something just because it’s trending. If the science doesn’t support it, we don’t say it.
