Naturopathic doctor Judy Seeger dismantles the myths and marketing hype surrounding women's longevity, delivering evidence-based strategies grounded in 30 years of clinical practice. This session cuts through the $77 billion wellness industry targeting women to reveal what actually works for healthy aging. Seeger addresses the critical gap in research—most studies are conducted on men—and provides women-specific guidance on protein needs, digestive health, movement patterns that boost brain health, stress management through grounding, and quality sleep. With practical tools like diagnostic belly checks and exercise snacks, she offers a strategic framework for reversing age-related decline without spending unnecessarily on supplements and quick fixes.
Bone density declines silently for decades before a fracture ever occurs. Radiation-free REMS technology offers a precise, accessible way to measure both bone density and microarchitecture, turning skeletal health from something abstract into something you can actively manage.
Gary Rhodes of Screen My Bones challenges the conventional approach to bone health with a personal mission born from his grandmother's osteoporosis diagnosis. Through hands-on demonstrations and balance testing, Rhodes reveals why bone density deserves attention decades before the typical age of diagnosis, introducing the concept of osteogenic loading and vibration training as tools for reconditioning skeletal strength. This interactive session reframes bone health not as inevitable decline to manage, but as a foundational pillar of longevity that can be actively improved through targeted intervention.
BHRT uses hormones structurally identical to those the body produces to address declines in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, especially around menopause.
Breast cancer risk reduction spans lifestyle, hormonal, and screening strategies that lower lifetime incidence. Here is what the evidence supports and where gaps remain.
Breast thermography uses infrared imaging to map heat patterns in breast tissue, detecting vascular and metabolic changes that may signal abnormal cell activity.
Cortisol in women regulates stress, metabolism, and immune function, with unique interactions across menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and menopause.
Egg quality refers to the chromosomal and mitochondrial health of oocytes, which determines fertility outcomes and declines with age. Here is what drives it.
Endometriosis involves tissue similar to the uterine lining growing outside the uterus, causing chronic inflammation and pain. Here is what drives it and what to know.
Estrogen is a steroid hormone central to female reproductive health, bone density, cardiovascular function, and brain health across every stage of life.
Estrogen dominance describes an imbalance where estrogen activity outweighs progesterone, affecting cycles, mood, and long-term health. Here is how it works.
Fertility optimization addresses the hormonal, metabolic, and environmental factors that influence conception, with focus on egg quality, cycle health, and evidence.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism, driven by immune attack on the thyroid gland. Mechanisms, symptoms, testing, and management.
HRT replaces declining hormones like estrogen and progesterone during menopause. Learn how it works, what the evidence shows, and what to consider before starting.
Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, and women face unique risks for deficiency. Learn mechanisms, testing, and how to optimize thyroid health.
Iron deficiency and low ferritin affect energy, cognition, and hormonal health. Learn how iron status works, what ferritin levels reveal, and how to address deficiency.
Menopause marks the permanent end of menstrual cycles, reshaping hormonal, metabolic, and cardiovascular health. Here is what happens and what the evidence says.
Osteoporosis prevention involves maintaining bone density through hormonal balance, nutrition, and mechanical loading before fractures occur.
PCOS is a hormonal and metabolic condition affecting ovarian function, insulin signaling, and androgen levels. Learn the mechanisms, signals, and management approaches.
Pelvic floor therapy rehabilitates the muscles supporting the bladder, uterus, and rectum through targeted exercises, manual techniques, and biofeedback.
Perimenopause is the hormonal transition before menopause, marked by fluctuating estrogen and progesterone. Learn the mechanisms, signals, and approaches.
Post-menopause optimization addresses the hormonal, metabolic, and structural shifts after menopause through targeted interventions for long-term health.
Postpartum recovery covers the physiological process of healing after childbirth, including hormonal recalibration, tissue repair, and nutrient repletion.
Preconception optimization prepares the body for healthy conception and pregnancy by addressing nutrient status, hormonal balance, toxic exposures, and metabolic health.
Progesterone is a steroid hormone essential for reproduction, bone density, sleep, and mood. Learn how it works, what low levels mean, and treatment options.
Women's hormone optimization addresses estrogen, progesterone, and related hormones to support energy, cognition, bone density, and long-term health across every life stage.
Aging science built primarily on male biology has systematically misunderstood female physiology, leading to ineffective or harmful optimization strategies for women. A female-centered approach recognizes that women's hormonal cycles are rhythmic rather than erratic, and that sex-based differences in metabolism, hormone production, and social bonding represent distinct biological advantages requiring tailored intervention.
Function Health positions comprehensive lab testing—160+ markers including metabolic and hormonal panels—as a foundation for preventive health monitoring, with emphasis on insulin, cortisol, thyroid, and leptin assessment to detect metabolic dysregulation earlier than standard screening. The model links biomarker tracking to lifestyle factors to inform individualized health optimization and support longitudinal monitoring.
Post-menopausal women show measurable reductions in gray matter volume within memory and emotion-regulating brain regions, correlating with increased anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption. This structural shift represents a neuroendocrine transition point with downstream implications for cognitive resilience and cardiometabolic risk in aging.
A microfluidics device enables recovery of immature oocytes from ovarian tissue, expanding the pool of viable eggs available for fertility preservation and IVF. This technology addresses a critical bottleneck in reproductive medicine by recovering oocytes that conventional methods miss, with direct implications for fertility outcomes across age groups.
An analysis of over 800,000 Danish women found no association between menopausal hormone therapy and increased all-cause mortality over 7-21 years of follow-up. This challenges the prevailing safety concerns that emerged from earlier studies and suggests the risk-benefit calculation for hormone therapy in perimenopausal women warrants reassessment based on individual clinical context.
Deep learning analysis of histological and transcriptomic data from over 300 female donors reveals that reproductive organs age asynchronously rather than in lockstep, with menopause functioning as a critical inflection point detectable in circulating protein signatures. This challenges the assumption of synchronized aging across organ systems and identifies tissue-specific vulnerability windows relevant to longevity and disease prevention.
