4 fasting for women strategies to optimize longevity.
•
Plus, estrogen for longevity and cod bars. Fasting for women is a powerful longevity tool—if you get the strategy right. Last month I wrapped up my annual 5-day fast (this year, a fasting-mimicking diet—more on that below). Not for weight loss. Not to “detox.” But because fasting done right can…

My inside/outside skincare protocol
•
Plus, hot baths and why eating bread feels better in Europe. I haven’t gotten botox in two years. I used to get it 1-2 times every year until I couldn’t ignore that nagging “this feels off” feeling. Yes, it works. But Botox is a band-aid. Botox paralyzes targeted muscles. Over…

Is it worth $2,500 to catch disease before it starts?
•
My MRI found a kidney tumor. Here’s what I’m doing next. Would you pay $2,500 to know what’s really going on inside your body? Ten years ago, if you’d told me I’d voluntarily climb into a loud metal tube for an informational MRI I’d have laughed in your face. And…

Your bone density blueprint.
•
The official guidelines on bone health are bananas to me. Women lose 10-20% of their total bone mass in their 40s and 50s. So the fact that most guidelines don’t recommend a DEXA scan until 65 is a travesty. Last week I shared that at 44, I already have osteopenia.…

Why everyone 30+ needs a DEXA scan.
•
1 in 4 women 35–50 have low bone density. I’m one of them. I turned 44 recently and got a surprise gift: osteopenia. I’m one of the 26% of women 35-50 who have low bone density (Journal of the American Osteopathic Association 2019). After menopause? Over half of women have…

Why so many women are using creatine (including me)
•
Women naturally store 20–30% less creatine than men. At 44, I’m calling this my Year of the Booty—aka time to prioritize building lean muscle mass. Creatine is on my shortlist of tools to help. Turns out, the old-school gym bros were onto something—just not the whole story. Creatine does a…

Should we all be microdosing GLP-1?
•
Just when we thought the obsession had died down, GLP-1s are in the news again. 98 million Americans have prediabetes (and 80% don’t know it). No wonder everyone is talking about microdosing GLP-1 and a recent Wall Street Journal article is calling for putting GLP-1s in the water. 🤓 What to…

The breathing habit that will transform your health overnight.
•
Plus, the reason I stopped getting botox and the best thing you can do for your metabolic health. Did you know that you have a signature breathing pattern akin to your fingerprint that can be used to identify you with 96.8% accuracy? We are how we breathe, according to a…

The cold plunge controversy
•
Plus, a new reason to try a keto diet and my favorite at-home HIIT workouts. It’s summer and it feels like everyone is installing a cold plunge in their backyard or basement spa. As someone who is obsessed with my in-home sauna but despises being cold, I usually feel a…

How to slow your aging velocity
•
Last week I co-hosted an event for New York’s YPO Women on female longevity at the Parsley Health center in NYC along with two brilliant speakers: nutrition expert JJ Virgin, and Melanie Goldey, CEO of Tally Health. It was exactly the kind of event I live for: a room full…
