In this solo episode, gerontologist Zora Benhamou reflects on what actually moved the needle this year, both in science and in her own body, practice, community and learning. A grounded, honest year-in-review on menopause, bone health, HRT, screening, muscle, recovery, and why swinging back to the middle changed everything for me in 2025 after 104 episodes this year.

We cover:

• The menopause groundbreaker from 2025 that quietly is changing everything

• Why bone health took over the conversation and what most people are missing

• How to think clearly about hormones, screening, and testing without swinging to extremes

• The one factor that keeps showing up for strength, recovery, and longevity

• What I am most excited about for 2026

• And so much more!
