Hack My Age : Menopause Upgrade

Do you feel like after you exercise or get sick, you just don't bounce back the way you used to?  Or maybe you've been told to "boost" your immune system, but no one's ever really explained what that actually means or whether it's even the right goal. 
We cover:
Why "boosting" your immune system is the wrong goal, and what we want instead

What happens to the immune system as estrogen drops, and why autoimmunity hits women so much harder in midlife

The surprising link between the gut, bones, and immune system that most people completely miss

What "cellular capacity" really means, and simple at-home ways to check if yours is slipping, no fancy clinic required

Why your relationships might matter more for your health at 80 than anything on your dinner plate

Courtney Van Bussum is the COO and co-founder of Longevity Launch Labs, an innovation incubator accelerating breakthrough products and companies in cellular and longevity medicine. With a background in biomedical engineering and early experience as a strategy consultant working with both Fortune 500s and startups, Courtney brings a rare blend of scientific insight and operational execution. Before launching Longevity Launch Labs, she helped modernize operations at the Boulder Longevity Institute, one of the country's leading functional and regenerative medicine clinics.

Did you grow up in the fat-free, count-every-calorie, be-small era, and now your body just doesn't respond to any of it anymore? Are you secretly hoping the next thing, whether it's more protein, a GLP-1, or HRT, is finally the one that fixes your midsection?
We cover:
Why "one thingitis" keeps so many Gen X women stuck, and how to break the cycle

The basic rules everyone wants to skip, and why ignoring them makes every hack fall flat

A realistic take on GLP-1s and food noise: when they're a smart tool, and when they're a red flag

Why the gym is not where you lose weight, and what progressive overload really looks like for a beginner

A simple AI exercise that motivates you towards building habits that last

Have you suddenly become "allergic" to foods you've eaten your whole life, like avocado, wine, kimchi, or last night's leftovers? Or are you dealing with random headaches, flushing, brain fog, or a stuffy nose, and nobody can tell you why?
We cover:
Why you're suddenly reacting to "healthy" foods you've eaten forever, and why it's usually not a new allergy

The hormone that acts like your body's natural antihistamine

The "histamine bucket" idea that explains why the same food triggers you one day and not the next

The real difference between histamine intolerance and MCAS

The root cause approach that calms the whole system down instead of just chasing one symptom at a time

The red flags that separate a genuine expert from a menopause predator

The uncomfortable question about influencers selling to a vulnerable audience

The real science behind menopause weight gain, and why "broken metabolism" is the biggest myth out there
