I am a longevity physician, a recovering ER doctor, and a self-described bioslacker. I make hormones, aging, and sexual health the most quotable hour on your feed. More than a hundred podcast appearances, and I bring my own soundbites.
Women outlive men by almost five years. Almost nobody asks why.
I am half the population’s doctor and I am furious about it in an entertaining way. I explain why the ovaries are the command center of aging, then tell you that eggs are Fabergé eggs in a locked vault and sperm are free samples at Costco.
Pick one, or let me read the room.
Why women survive longer but spend about 25% more of their lives in poor health, and the “pink it and sink it” research gap nobody talks about. Women are half the population and get roughly 1% of medical research funding outside of cancer.
The four evolutionary advantages built around the egg: Energy, Security, Stretch, Connection. The hip fat that is a backup estrogen supply. The “slow” metabolism that is actually endurance wiring. The flaws women apologize for are the machinery doing the protecting.
Women have a second aging clock no one warns them about. We have developed six FDA-approved drugs for erectile dysfunction, but the organ that controls how half the population ages is still an afterthought.
How one misread 2002 study cut hormone therapy use from 40% to under 5%, and why properly timed hormones may cut all-cause mortality by roughly 30% for about thirty dollars a month. The FDA removed the black box warning in February 2026.
Menopause is becoming modifiable. Almost no one knows you can freeze a sliver of the ovary itself and switch it back on years later, or even grow a working ovary in your arm.
Pleasure and orgasm as legitimate longevity medicine, the most enjoyable mechanism of action there is, plus the 500-year clitoral anatomy scandal. It was not fully mapped until 2005.
On request: perimenopause as the biggest intervention window, the MENTS lifestyle framework (Movement, Environment, Nutrition, Tribe, Sleep), and why everything you were told about exercise as a woman was backwards.
“Longevity is not built by suffering harder. It is built by working smarter.”
“Everything you were taught to apologize for is the machinery doing the protecting.”
“Menopause does not cause aging. It reveals the aging that was being held back by hormones.”
“The most powerful longevity drug costs thirty dollars, and your doctor is scared of it.”
“I will take sex over spinach any day.”
“Women are told they are fine until they are not.”
The Female Longevity Advantage ships February 23, 2027. From now until then, podcasts are the priority.
Not another menopause book about what midlife takes from you. This one is about what you were given, and exactly how to keep it. Little, Brown Spark, hardcover, audiobook, and Kindle.
Record with me between now and launch and your episode lands in the window that decides the book’s first week. I promote every appearance to my full audience, and your listeners get the free Optimal Labs Guide as a thank-you.
A few of the conversations I keep coming back to.
Tell me about your show and your audience. I will bring the science, the stories, and the lines that travel.
