  • Shocking Facts About Menopause I Wasn’t Taught in Gerontology (The Study of Aging) - Zora Benhamou
    I got my Master’s in Gerontology—the scientific study of aging—and while we spent hours learning about Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease, we spent less than one hour on menopause. In this solo episode, I’m sharing the 8 most shocking things I’ve learned after graduation that completely changed how I view women’s health and aging. These are critical facts about menopause that should be taught in every medical and aging curriculum—but aren’t. We’ll cover: Why menopause is treated as a reproductive event—not a whole-body health transition How estrogen affects your brain, heart, muscles, and stress response What happens to your cognitive and cardiovascular health after menopause The 103+ symptoms no one warned you about Why most doctors aren’t trained to help you What GSM is—and why over 50% of women suffer in silence Why your muscle loss may not be “just aging” The shocking stat on HRT and reduced mortality risk Zora Benhamou is a gerontologist and biohacker dedicated to challenging menopause stigma and ageist stereotypes. She focuses on empowering women navigating the menopausal transition through biohacking techniques.

It’s not just hormones) Testosterone’s role in strength, mood, and metabolism How much muscle do we really need and how to measure it The best ways to take, test and track your testosterone Signs of low (and high) testosterone Three tips to build and maintain muscle after 40 Can testosterone cause irreversible damage?   Dr. Marko Lujic is a physician specializing in age management and hormone optimization.
