812: The Menopause Algorithm: Hacking Your Ovarian Age & Predicting Menopause with Kiran Kumar

Have you ever wished you had a crystal ball to tell you exactly when you will enter menopause? In this groundbreaking episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Kiran Kumar, a bioengineer and the founder and CEO of Timeless Biotech. We discuss their revolutionary new product, MenoTime, the first and only AI-powered ovarian aging clock. Ovarian aging is one of the most significant drivers of overall female aging; in fact, women can experience a massive nine-year acceleration in their biological age (measured by the glycan age clock) in just the six months following their final menstrual period. Kiran explains that static, one-time hormone tests are notoriously difficult to interpret, but by using machine learning trained on over 40,000 patient visits, MenoTime can predict your age at menopause within a 1.5-year error range. We dive into the fascinating, and sometimes shocking, data uncovered by this algorithm. We discuss why your mother's age of menopause didn't even crack the top 50 predictors, why a decline in melatonin is actually your first warning sign, and how factors like sexual health and dietary fats play a massive role in delaying ovarian decline.  I am also thrilled to announce we will be offering the MenoTime test right here in my LA clinic starting in January!
