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
