Episode notes

In this episode, I sit down with Nikolina Lauc, CEO and Co-Founder of GlycanAge, and we dive into a questions that should stop every midlife woman in her tracks: is menopause actually accelerating your biological aging? What if the shift from perimenopause to menopause could age you up to nine years in just six months? And more importantly, what can you do about it?

We unpack what biological age really means (and why it's not the same as your chronological age), how inflammation quietly drives aging and disease, and why estrogen may be one of the most powerful longevity tools we have. Is HRT just symptom relief, or is it actually protecting your future health? And why are so many women still being told to "just wait it out"?

I also share my own GlycanAge results and what they revealed about my cardiovascular risk and immune aging. Can you actually reverse your biological age? How early can we detect risk for heart disease or other chronic conditions? And how much of this is in your control? This conversation might completely change how you think about aging in midlife.

In this episode, we uncover:

How menopause can accelerate biological aging dramatically.
Why estrogen plays a critical role in immune and heart health.
What biological age really measures beyond just your birthdate.
How glycan testing detects disease risk years before symptoms.
Why HRT may be able to reduce all-cause mortality by 40%.

This episode will tell you all about what your body might be trying to tell you about how you're aging—and what you can do to change it!
