How to Outsmart Menopause and Stay Younger Longer
Did you know women biologically age faster during menopause?
We outlive men by more than five years — yet we also spend 25% more of our lives in poor health. The longevity gap isn’t because women are weaker. It’s because our biology has been misunderstood, understudied, and dismissed for decades. But that’s changing. Fast.
Science now recognises the powerful role hormones play— not just for reproduction, but for how we age and how well we live later in life. As hormones shift, the ripple effects can shape everything from inflammation to cardiovascular risk to how quickly we age.
In this episode, we explore how menopause isn’t just a phase, but a major turning point in female healthspan. Lisa sits down with Nikolina Lauc — longevity trailblazer, co-founder of Women for Longevity, and CEO of GlycanAge, the first company to commercialise an inflammaging clock: a biological age test that measures chronic, low-grade inflammation, one of the strongest predictors of long-term health.
Nikolina breaks down:
• Why menopause accelerates biological aging — and how we can intervene
• What glycans are and why they’re powerful early biomarkers for menopause prediction and disease risk
• Why HRT is now central to the longevity conversation
• How hormone therapy shifts biological age, inflammation and cardiovascular risk
This episode reframes menopause and HRT as a window of possibility — a moment where women can understand their biology, take control of their health and age on their own terms.
