In this riveting episode with Dr. Deena Emera, an Evolutionary Geneticist, we unravel the evolutionary enigma of menopause, diving into the “grandmother hypothesis”, the contrasts in reproductive biology, and the implications for aging. Dr. Emera shares compelling insights from her new book, "A Brief History of the Female Body," offering a profound understanding of the female life-cycle, fertility, and the most up to date science on aging, menopause and longevity. This is a must-listen episode for anyone interested in why the female body evolved the way it has, why so many of our modern health challenges exist, and how to balance the mystery and wisdom of our bodies with a scientific understanding of our history.
