From Fertility to Freedom: Dr. Pat McShane on Women’s Healthspan


Listen Later

A powerful conversation on hormones, healthspan, lifestyle medicine, and helping women thrive—not decline—through menopause and beyond.

----In this episode of MyMD Unscripted, Dr. Pat McShane shares what she’s learned from nearly five decades in women’s health—from the early days of IVF to her current focus on healthspan. We talk about the confusion around hormones, the power of exercise, the growing loneliness epidemic, and why women deserve better information about thriving after menopause. Her insights reframe aging as a decades-long opportunity, not a decline.
