Why Hormone Health Determines How You Age
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Heidi Codino and Dr. Serena Russum about how hormone health drives longevity. We explore the concept of healthspan and why lifestyle habits like sleep, nutrition, and movement matter more than supplements. We also break down how stress disrupts hormones and how better testing and daily habits can support long-term energy, resilience, and overall health.
