This episode is sponsored by New Leaf Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy - oxygen therapy that’s non-invasive treatment that strengthens your body from the inside out.
In this episode, certified nurse midwife, Kristin Mallon, discusses the need for solutions in menopause, perimenopause, and hormonal changes associated with aging.
She explains how she and her business partner started Femgevity to address this need, as there were very few practitioners specializing in menopause care. They use laboratory data and diagnostic tools to provide personalized solutions for women. Kristin also shares her passion for longevity and her fear of death, which led her to explore ways to prevent aging and maintain a high quality of life in older age.
