Marie's story & how walking with a weighted vest grew into a community of 600+ women (Episode 9)

May 4, 2026

In this episode, Amy is joined by Marie Berry, the founder of YVO — a women's wellness brand focused on bone health. It all started with an osteopenia diagnosis; Marie was active, athletic, doing triathlons and playing tennis, but a scan revealed something that didn't add up: her bone density was way lower than it should be for her age. So, she started walking with a weighted vest to build bone strength and the trend exploded. Women were asking which vest to use, and Marie realized none of them were designed for female bodies. So she built one herself—and in the process, accidentally created a thriving community of 600+ women walking weekly across the US. Join us for this episode where Marie talks about bone health, what the fitness industry got wrong about women's bodies, and how her indigenous roots shaped the brand she's building.
