Join the newsletter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=YqJKtR&g=Ww3gx3& I sat down with Dr. Florence Comite, the original gangster of precision medicine, who has been treating every patient as an "N of 1" for over 30 years. She pioneered Women's Health at Yale in 1992 and has spent her career proving that your genes are not your destiny. We go deep into what it actually takes to reverse biological aging, not slow it, reverse it. What we cover: - The five biomarkers that are suboptimal in nearly every patient, and why your doctor is probably not testing all of them. - Why "normal" lab values are not the same as optimal, and how that gap is silently costing you your health. - Why testosterone is the most underprescribed hormone in women's health, and what you lose without it. - How epigenetics means your lifestyle is rewriting your genetic destiny every single day. Why sleep, not exercise, is the foundation everything else is built on. About Dr. Florence Comite: Florence Comite, MD, physician-scientist, endocrinologist, and global authority on healthy longevity, is founder of the Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity in New York, Palo Alto, and Miami Beach. A Yale School of Medicine graduate and faculty member for twenty-five years, Dr. Comite held triple appointments in Endocrinology (Internal Medicine and Pediatrics) and Reproductive Endocrinology (Gynecology and Andrology). As a clinical investigator, she developed research and patented therapies at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Yale. In 1992, she pioneered the nation's first center for women's health at Yale, redefining integrative care for women. Dr. Comite also founded the first physician-led artificial intelligence app. Trained on decades of her proprietary real-world research, it's a powerful personalized tool to help people optimize their healthspan.

Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=YqJKtR&g=Ww3gx3&utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=4-steps-feb-26 In the first five years after menopause, women lose up to 30% of their skin's collagen. Not gradually over decades, in five years. I sat down with Dr. Anthony Youn, America's Holistic Plastic Surgeon® and bestselling author of Younger for Life, to explore the powerful connection between your skin and your overall wellbeing. This conversation will completely change the way you think about aging, beauty, and the remarkable ability your body has to renew itself from the inside out. What we cover: - How Dr. Youn's philosophy of Autojuvenation® works to harness your body's natural regenerative abilities before turning to any clinical intervention. - Why the skin is the body's largest organ and functions as a 'magic mirror' that reflects your internal health, inflammation, and biological age. - What the five root causes of aging mean for midlife women. - How women lose up to 30% of their skin's collagen thickness in just the first five years after menopause, and what you can do right now to fight back. - What a simple three-step morning skincare routine looks like, and why a quality vitamin C serum and sunscreen are the two non-negotiables for every woman over 40. - Why retinol remains the gold standard of anti-aging skincare, and which gentler plant-based alternatives are backed by clinical evidence for sensitive skin. - How exfoliation, microneedling, and energy-based treatments like IPL can signal your skin to regenerate collagen and reverse visible signs of sun damage. - What to look for when choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon and the critical questions that protect you from unqualified practitioners. About Dr. Anthony Youn: Known as America's Holistic Plastic Surgeon®, Anthony Youn, M.D. is a nationally-recognized, board- certified plastic surgeon. Recognized as a leader in his field, he is the author of the best-selling books "The Age Fix," "In Stitches," "Playing God," and "Younger For Life."

    Today I want to talk with you about how women age, and why so many of us feel surprised by what happens to our bodies in midlife.

    This is not an episode about chasing youth or fearing wrinkles. It is about understanding why women are not taught how longevity really works in our bodies, and why the years leading up to menopause matter far more than we were ever told.

    I have learned, through decades of caring for women as an orthopedic sports surgeon, that we are not simply smaller versions of men. Our biology has often been overlooked in longevity research, even though estrogen quietly influences nearly every system that determines how strong, mobile, and independent we remain as we age.

    I want you to know this. Aging is not something that happens to you. It is something you can shape. With the right information, a few consistent habits, and a deeper understanding of your own body, you can build strength and resilience that carry you forward for decades.

    If you have ever felt like your body changed without warning, like the advice that once worked no longer does, or like aging has been framed as something to fear, this episode is for you.

    My hope is that this conversation leaves you feeling informed, supported, and empowered to age with strength, clarity, and confidence.
