In this episode of the Dan Buettner Podcast, Dan sits down with board-certified OB-GYN and celebrity health expert Dr. Jessica Shepherd to uncover the surprising intersection between menopause and longevity. While we often associate menopause with hot flashes, the reality is far more complex—affecting everything from your brain health and sleep to your hair and life expectancy.
Dr. Shepherd explains why women’s life expectancy has jumped by 20 years since the early 1900s, yet our biological clocks haven't caught up. We dive into the science of ""delaying"" menopause not just for reproduction, but for the long-term vitality that estrogen provides to every organ in the body.
