AI isn’t just writing your emails anymore—it’s reading your hormones and mapping your risk. In this episode, endocrinologist and longevity doctor Dr. Fady Hannah-Shmouni talks about full-body MRIs, cancer blood tests, muscle-driven longevity, HRT, and an at-home cortisol test called ELI.
We explore where AI, wearables, and testing truly help women, and where they fuel anxiety, waste money, and dull intuition. We also get real about supplements, bad actors in wellness, and what actually matters if you want to stay strong and functional at 80+.
Listen if you want a grounded roadmap for using data, testing, and hormone support to extend your healthspan—not just add more noise to your wellness life.
