In this episode, Dr. Asare Christian and Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton discuss female longevity and health span. Dr. Christian brings his unique perspective as a former pain specialist who discovered that many of the chronic conditions he was treating were rooted in hormone imbalance.

This episode also highlights:

·       Three main factors that can contribute to women living longer

·       The protective qualities of estrogen as well as the effects of its decline during perimenopause

·       The importance of testing early and getting baseline hormone levels before symptoms appear

·       How the DUTCH Test provides a picture of hormone metabolism, leading to clarity around estrogen metabolites, the HPA axis, and more

·       Treating the hormonal root cause rather than prescribing medications for each symptom
