    Longevity, Biohacking & Menopause: What Actually Holds Up? With Chris Burres

    If something claims to extend life by 90%… we need to slow down and ask better questions. In this episode, Lisa sits down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC, to explore the science behind ESS-60—a molecule linked to one of the longest longevity experiments in mammals. Together, they unpack: What the research actually says (and doesn’t say) The role of mitochondria in aging The supplement industry’s biggest gaps What this means for women in perimenopause and menopause This is a conversation about curiosity, caution, and critical thinking. Key Takeaways: The ESS-60 molecule showed lifespan extension in rats—but human data is still emerging Aging is often linked to oxidative stress and inflammation Mitochondria play a central role in energy, hormones, and cellular health There is no single solution for menopause symptoms Lifestyle foundations still matter most: sleep, nutrition, movement, stress What We Discuss: The origin of ESS-60 and Nobel Prize research Longevity vs real-life quality of life Supplements: hype vs evidence Menopause, mitochondria, and hormone production Why “one solution fixes all” is a red flag Important Context: This conversation is exploratory and educational.

    What If Menopause Is Liberation? With Lasara Firefox Allen

    What This Episode Is About Menopause is often reduced to symptoms—but what if it’s actually a profound identity shift? In this episode, Lisa sits down with Lasara Firefox Allen to explore menopause through a wider lens—one that includes gender identity, power structures, and the deeply personal experience of transformation. This conversation opens up new ways of understanding menopause as not just a biological event, but a life transition that impacts who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we move through the world. What You’ll Learn Why menopause is more than a physical experience How identity shifts during perimenopause and menopause The connection between menopause and gender-affirming care How medical systems fail many people in menopause Why language and diagnosis models don’t fully capture this transition How menopause can be a pathway to liberation About Lasara Firefox Allen Lasara Firefox Allen is an author, menopause doula, educator, and speaker focused on expanding inclusive menopause care.
