71: Atomic Health #1: Women's Longevity. How we age and why we're different.

Dear Menopause

Have you ever wondered how your lifestyle choices impact your biological versus chronological age or thought about the implications of being able to delay menopause?
Join Sonya Lovell and Roma van der Walt in the Dear Menopause sub-series, Atomic Health, as we dive deep into these intriguing topics. Through our lively discussion, we'll peel back the layers on the hot issues of women's health, longevity and the unique factors that influence these areas.
Let's challenge traditional perspectives together as we delve into the buzzwords of longevity and health span. Roma shares her insights on the costs and benefits of maintaining a youthful biological age, the marketing of longevity products, and the extraordinary stories from a 105-year-old woman to a tech billionaire investing heavily in his health.
We'll also discuss the potential impacts of delaying menopause and how the increase in lifespan and health span could influence career and fertility decisions.
Finally, we'll shed light on the unique challenges women face on their health journey, discuss the implications of sleep deprivation on lifespan, and explore the pressures of social media on our perceptions of health and ageing.
Get ready for an honest conversation about the sometimes overwhelming messaging around menopause and ageing and the reality of caring for aging parents and children simultaneously.
Settle in as we tackle these topics and more, and hopefully, we'll start a broader conversation about longevity, health span, and the unique challenges women face in their health journey.
