The Functional Edge with Dr. Julia Ward

Why Postmenopausal Women Need Different Health Strategies


Listen Later

Postmenopausal women are living longer—but not always living well. In this episode, Dr. Pat McShane joins Dr. Julia Ward to explain why women’s health research has long overlooked older women and what that means for heart disease, dementia, and long-term function. They explore practical, evidence-based strategies to close the gap between lifespan and health span.
