She is also the host of the Hack My Age podcast, which focuses on empowering women navigating the menopause transition through biohacking techniques. In our discussion, we cover various factors that influence menopausal timing and question whether it is possible to reverse menopause. We dive into midlife biohacks, such as blood-flow restriction bands, that deliver real results, and explore health optimization, how people become super agers, and the benefits of peptides, exosomes, and HRT.
