Technology, Strength, and Midlife Wellness: Redefining Health with Patty Durell and Daniel Hartshorn

Technology, Strength, and Midlife Wellness: Redefining Health with Patty Durell and Daniel Hartshorn

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Patty Durell, founder of Rock Solid Fitness, and Daniel Hartshorn, co-founder of Flowgreens and ScentXpresso, to explore how technology, aromatherapy, and strength training are reshaping wellness in a high-stress, tech-driven world. From smart showers that transform daily routines into mindful rituals, to efficient resistance training that rebuilds energy and confidence for women in midlife, this conversation challenges outdated health myths and reframes what vitality truly looks like. Whether you’re feeling stuck in burnout, curious about tech-powered healing, or seeking strength without overtraining, this episode offers practical, science-backed insights you can apply today.

About the Guests

Patty Durell is a strength training expert and the creator of High Intensity SAFE™ Strength Training, a proven method that helps high-performing women regain strength, energy, and confidence with just two 25-minute sessions a week. She is also the founder of Rock Solid Fitness.

Daniel Hartshorn is an entrepreneur and co-founder of ScentXpresso, a wellness technology company creating spa-like aromatherapy shower experiences to combat stress and burnout. With a background in scaling tech startups, Daniel now focuses on human-centered innovation for health and well-being.

Key Takeaways

  • Strength training is not about doing more but about doing enough—properly applied resistance builds both physical and mental resilience.

  • Many midlife women avoid lifting weights due to myths about injury or “bulking up,” but real results come from heavy resistance done safely.

  • Smart aromatherapy rituals, such as Daniel’s ScentXpresso, turn overlooked moments like a shower into powerful anchors for relaxation and mental reset.

  • Scent is a primal sensory trigger tied to memory and emotion—using it intentionally can reduce stress and promote emotional stability.

  • Rituals and boundaries—like nature walks, hugs, family breakfasts, or mindful exercise—help root us in balance amidst digital overload.

  • Resistance training improves sleep, mood, hormonal balance, and self-worth, especially for women navigating menopause and midlife challenges.

  • Both guests stress the importance of cultural reset: midlife is not “old age,” but an opportunity to strengthen body, mind, and daily habits.

  • Wellness technology’s future lies in combining hard data (like heart rate and blood pressure) with personal experiences of well-being for truly personalized care.
