S10 EP19: How to Biohack Menopause with Zora Benhamou

Welcome to Part 3 of our journey into biohacking. If you missed
parts one and two, no worries, this isn’t about a distant galaxy
far, far away, it’s all about YOU! Today we focus on a topic
relevant to women under 50, and women over 50: Menopause. (And
not just women approaching 50, you should know this at ANY AGE!)
We have a remarkable guest on the podcast, Zora Benhamou, a
gerontologist, biohacker, host of the Hack My Age Podcast, and
advocate for women’s health during the menopause journey, which
may begin much earlier than you think. 


Zora speaks 6 languages and has traveled to more than 50
countries in her quest to answer the question: What does it mean
to biohack menopause? She’s with us today to squash some myths
surrounding menopause, clarify the stages, discuss hormones and
hormone therapy and the most beneficial workout for women in
their journey. Do you know your baseline? Want to take
responsibility for your health? Don’t wait. Now is the time to do
it.
