  • Compression Training, Muscle, and Menopause: Redefining Strength After 40 - Alex Birks
    Starting around age 30, we lose about 1% of our muscle mass each year. But during perimenopause, that number can jump to a staggering 10%. Muscle is one of our most powerful tools for blood sugar balance, bone protection, strength, and longevity. So what do we do when building muscle gets harder—but we need it more than ever? Enter Targeted Compression Training —a game-changing approach to fitness that helps us maintain and build muscle, even with lighter weights. In this episode, I sit down with Alex Birks, founder of Suji, a tech-forward company that’s making smart, safe compression training more accessible. We cover: What’s the difference between Blood Flow Restriction and Targeted Compression Training (TCT)? How TCT boosts growth hormone, improves vascularity, and supports brain health Why it’s ideal for midlife women dealing with hormonal shifts, injuries, or joint issues What the research says about compression training  and menopause Who shouldn’t use this technology (contraindications you should know) How Suji is making training safer, smarter, and more affordable as we age Alex Birks is a robotics engineer, athlete, and founder of Suji, a breakthrough company bringing smart, safe targeted compression training to everyone from pro athletes to everyday movers. A top graduate from Heriot-Watt University with advanced study at Oxford, Alex combines cutting-edge tech with a deep passion for human performance and recovery. Suji’s compression technology is already used by one-third of U.S. professional sports teams, and now their consumer products are making waves in the wellness and longevity space. Alex’s mission? Help people move pain-free, train smarter, and build strength for life—especially as they age.   10% off code ZORA https://www.trysuji.com/?ref=ZORA Check the website FAQ for contraindications https://www.trysuji.com/apps/frequently-asked-questions CONTACT Email: [email protected]  Website: https://trysuji.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/trysuji Facebook: https://facebook.com/trysuji   Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.

  • Delay Menopause? 12 Factors That Affect Menopause Timing - Zora Benhamou
    Can you delay menopause? Yes, in some ways we can. Let’s cover what the science says about the Age at Natural Menopause, or ANM.  This matters—a lot—because early menopause has been linked to higher risks of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and even increased all-cause mortality. Delayed menopause is associated with a longer reproductive span and lower risk of diseases of aging.  So, what determines when you hit menopause?  We cover: Modifiable factors of menopause age What can we control and what we can’t Research on the Age of Natural Menopause How alcohol intake suprisingly affects your menopause birthdate What is more potent? Genetics or Lifestyle and Diet? Global statistics on menopause age  Surgical menopause   Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.

  • Mammogram Debate: Addressing Fears From A Radiologist & True Breast Cancer Risks - Dr. Robyn Roth
    Are you about to get a mammogram and now worried about the conflicting information? Then tune into this episode with radiologist Dr. Robyn Roth who gives us her side of the story on mammograms and alternatives to breast screening.  You’ll either love this episode or hate it, but I like to present both sides of the story. Over the last year I have had numerous guests who warned us of the dangers of mammograms. I had several of you reach out to me wanting me to share the other perspectives out there. So I gathered all the arguments that our guests have talked about in other episodes and presented them at Dr. Robyn to hear her rebuttal. We covered: The fears around mammograms Do mammograms really save lives? Are we over diagnosing and overtreating women? What is the damage that is done on a woman given a false diagnosis? What percentage of DCIS goes on to become an aggressive cancer from her experience? If mammograms don’t pick up calcifications on dense breasts, why are we even doing them? What the man who invented mammograms says is the gold standard of breast screening Alternatives to mammograms and how reliable are they? If mammography is not recommended to pregnant women because of the risk of radiation on the fetus, then why are we all getting mammograms? Is a woman really a survivor if she dies at 6 years past her diagnosis instead of the time bias of 5?   Dr. Robyn Roth is an Ivy-league trained board-certified radiologist specializing in Breast and Abdominal Imaging, with over 15 years of clinical experience. She is better known as @TheBoobieDocs, her popular social media platform where she discusses breast cancer and breast health in an educational and fun way. She is a breast cancer specialist who educates, advocates and empowers about the importance of early breast cancer detection and understanding your risk factors. Dr. Roth hosts a podcast, “The Girlfriend’s Guide to Breast Cancer, Breast Health, & Beyond” to help those navigating a breast cancer diagnosis.   RESOURCES https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21249649/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7681269/ Contact Dr. Robyn Roth: Instagram @theboobiedocs https://www.instagram.com/theboobiedocs Podcast, the girlfriends guide to breast cancer https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-boobie-docs-the-girlfriends-guide-to-breast/id1586884287  Website: https://theboobiedocs.com Email: [email protected] Instagram @theboobiedocs   Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.
