Age Better with Barbara Hannah Grufferman

7 New Studies Every Postmenopausal Woman Needs to Know to Age Better EP 167


Listen Later

In this solo episode of Age Better with Barbara Hannah Grufferman, I break down seven brand-new studies that could change the way you think about your health in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. 

From the surprising truth about sitting time, to the power of strength training, to how the Mediterranean diet protects both brain and body—this episode is your shortcut to the latest science on aging well. 

Why listen? Because research only matters when you know what it means for you. Each study ends with a clear takeaway you can put into practice today

  2. The only proven way to fight age-related muscle loss 
  3. New evidence that hormone therapy may slow biological aging 
  4. Why loneliness is now considered as dangerous as smoking 
  5. How a Mediterranean diet can reduce Alzheimer’s risk—even with high genetic risk
