Menopause & Longevity: What You Do Now Shapes Your Next 30 Years
"Pause Please: The Empowered Perimenopause Playbook" shifts the conversation around menopause from short-term symptoms to long-term longevity. Hosted by Dr. Sara Kinnon, a licensed naturopathic physician and Menopause Society certified practitioner, this episode emphasizes that what women do during perimenopause profoundly shapes their health for the next 30 to 40 years. It highlights menopause as a biological turning point where the loss of ovarian hormones, especially estrogen, impacts vital systems like bones, brain, heart, and metabolism, accelerating biological aging and increasing the risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline.
Dr. Kinnon introduces the three pillars for powerful aging and preventing decline: muscle, mitochondria, and hormones. Listeners will learn actionable strategies to "future-proof" their bodies, including non-negotiable strength training, targeted nutrition focusing on protein and healthy fats, and crucial practices for stress management and optimizing sleep. The episode also touches on the evolving science of Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) as a cornerstone of longevity medicine when individualized and timed correctly. Tune in to understand that midlife is not a crisis but a launchpad for a future of independence, strength, clarity, and joy. Discover how to build your future health now and commit to thriving.
