## Resource

This week on Transforming 45, Lisa sits down with pharmacist, wellness expert, and author Dr. Nayan Patel for a powerful conversation about the missing pieces in the menopause and longevity conversation. Please note - this episode was recorded before the term PCOS was evolved to PMOS. Together they unpack: Why hormones are only one piece of the puzzle The connection between stress, insulin, and hormone imbalance GLP-1 medications and the concerns women need to understand Oxidative stress and cellular health What glutathione actually does in the body Why prevention matters more than “fixing” The emotional overwhelm women are carrying in midlife This conversation moves beyond quick fixes and into a more nuanced understanding of energy, aging, and wraparound care.
