What does a longevity doctor actually do and how is this different from what you'd get from a traditional doctor, holistic practitioner, or even functional medicine expert?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Darshan Shah, a longevity doctor based in Los Angeles, to uncover what "next-level health" looks like when science meets cutting-edge treatments you won't find anywhere else.
We dive straight into some of the most advanced therapies and what they really mean for midlife women:
Therapeutic Plasma Exchange and why this is becoming a hot topic in the world of anti-aging and disease prevention
NAD treatments: are they truly beneficial, or is it time to reconsider how we approach NAD?
Breast health and screening: what every woman should know and why early detection strategies are evolving
Darshan Shah, MD, is a health and wellness specialist, board-certified surgeon, published author, entrepreneur, and founder of Next Health, the first, largest and fastest-growing health optimization and longevity clinic.
He began his career at an accelerated MD program and earned his medical degree at the age of 21, becoming one of the youngest doctors in the United States. He continued his training at the Mayo Clinic, and earned his MBA from Harvard Business School in 2015.As a longevity medicine specialist, he has advised thousands of patients on how to optimize their well-being and extend their healthspan and lifespan.

Is a hip or knee replacement in your future? Are you recovering from joint surgery and eager to bounce back stronger? Or maybe you're focused on protecting your joints so you never have to go under the knife. If so, this episode is for you.
Today I sat down with world-renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe, who has performed joint replacements on actors (hello Kris Jenner & Dr. Phil), musicians, and professional athletes with the help of cutting-edge robotics. Yes, robots are now part of surgery, and what he shared blew my mind. If I could redo my hips, I'd absolutely go the robotic route.
In this episode, we dive into:
Dr. Snibbe is a globally recognized, board-certified orthopedic surgeon and a pioneer in advanced, minimally invasive, and robotic surgeries of the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. His passion for anatomy developed early, leading him to become an international lecturer, instructor, and authoritative voice in the field. He frequently teaches other surgeons worldwide on his unique approaches and techniques. Fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine and Robotic Joint Reconstruction, Dr. Snibbe is known for his exceptional patient outcomes, having achieved the lowest complication rate at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. As a Founding and Managing Partner in DOCS Spine and Orthopedics and Docs Surgical Hospital, Dr. Snibbe is also the official orthopedic surgeon for the Los Angeles Clippers and serves as an orthopedic consultant for the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Sparks, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and the Los Angeles Kings.

What are the top questions women are Googling about menopause?
In this episode, I'm breaking down the six most searched questions about menopause and sharing the science, the myths, and the practical solutions that actually help. Because menopause isn't just something you type into a search bar, it's something you live through and you deserve more than generic answers.
We cover:
The very first signs and symptoms women notice when menopause begins
The average age menopause starts and what influences it
The most common (and surprising) symptoms no one tells you about
How long menopause actually lasts and why the answer isn't simple
Hormone therapy: is it safe, who should consider it, and what the research says

Is NAD really the fountain of youth, or just another overhyped supplement trend? From energy boosts to wrinkle reduction, the excitement is everywhere, but the truth is a lot more complex.
In this episode, I sit down with biomedical engineer Courtney Van Bussum to cut through the noise. Courtney brings deep expertise in cellular and longevity science,, giving her a unique perspective on both the research and the real-world clinical applications.
We cover:
What NAD actually is and why it's essential for energy, longevity, and healthy aging.
How to know if your NAD levels are low and whether it even matters.
The biggest myths and misconceptions about NAD supplements.
NAD changes in pre- versus post-menopause.
Why precursors like NR and NMN may backfire if deeper pathways aren't addressed.
Free and low-cost ways to preserve and recycle NAD naturally.
What you need to know about the molecule 1-MNA (and why it may be more important than NAD itself).
Courtney Van Bussum is the COO and co-founder of Longevity Launch Labs, an innovation incubator accelerating breakthrough products and companies in cellular and longevity medicine. With a background in biomedical engineering and early experience as a strategy consultant working with both Fortune 500s and startups, Courtney brings a rare blend of scientific insight and operational execution. Before launching Longevity Launch Labs, she helped modernize operations at the Boulder Longevity Institute—one of the country's leading functional and regenerative medicine clinics. Courtney's mission is to help build parallel systems that make healthcare smarter, more proactive, and more personal—especially in the rapidly evolving world of cellular health.

Are you feeling confused about fasting, weight loss peptides, and nutrition, especially since most of the research seems to be on sedentary people who look nothing like you? If you're an active woman trying to figure out whether these trends and studies actually apply to you, this episode is for you.
I'm joined by nurse practitioner Cynthia Thurlow, and together we unpack what the science really says and what it means for women like us.
We cover:
What metabolic health really means
Whether fasting is the magic bullet, or a minefield, for active women
The one experiment you absolutely should try for yourself
What it means to "microdose" weight loss peptides
Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, with over 25 years of experience in the world of health and wellness. She's done a couple of great TedX talks that hit the jackpot with over 15 million views for her second one (Intermittent Fasting: Transformational Technique). Cynthia is a globally recognized expert in perimenopause/menopause and intermittent fasting, and she has also been featured on ABC, FOX5, and The Megyn Kelly Show. Like me, she is on a mission to help empower women to live their most optimal lives in perimenopause and beyond.

Did you know that your ovaries are so much more than just for making babies? They don't just die after menopause and today we are going to learn so much more about their function, HRT and so much more with California OB-GYN Dr. Lizellen LaFollette
We cover:
How she treated her patients after the WHI came down with the headlines that estrogen causes cancer…which btw, it doesn't
What her vision is for the future of menopause research and treatments for women
What she learned at the Buck Institute of Aging through her research on ovarian aging
And so much more
Dr. Lizellen LaFollette is a board-certified OB-GYN with more than three decades of experience caring for women in the Bay Area in obstetrics, gynecology, menopause and aesthetics. Based in Greenbrae, California, she is known for her leadership in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. LaFollette has been an investigator and advisor for multiple studies in women's health, including research on preterm labor risk, inflammation biomarkers, and reproductive longevity through her work with the Buck Institute's Reproductive Longevity Consortium.
She is so often voted "Top Doctor" by her local journals. And is committed to evidence-based, patient-centered care. Her areas of focus include menopause management, reproductive aging, and reducing unnecessary cesarean sections, while continuing to integrate the latest innovations to improve women's health across the lifespan.

What does HRT mean and how do I choose the formula that's right for me?
In this solo episode, I'm unpacking one of the most confusing parts of hormone therapy: the different delivery methods. From patches to pills to creams, I'll walk you through what's bioidentical, what isn't, and what you really need to know to make informed choices.
We cover:
Why the WHI study scared a generation of women and what it really showed
The difference between FDA- and EMA-approved, compounded, bioidentical, and synthetic hormones
The 3 types of natural estrogen (E1, E2, E3) and how they're used in therapy
Oral estrogen and progesterone: pros, cons, and brand examples
Transdermal patches, gels, creams, and sprays and which women like the most
Cost and access: NHS, FDA, EMA, compounded, and private prescriptions
By the end, you'll have a clear picture of the safest and most effective delivery methods, so you can feel confident talking to your doctor about what's right for you.

You'll learn:
The real reason for a slower metabolism (spoiler: it's not age)
How hormones influence our ability to build and maintain muscle
What is "menopenia"?
The fastest way to boost metabolism naturally
Why muscle is considered our "metabolic organ"
