Maintaining optimal hormone levels as we grow older plays a crucial role in supporting mitochondrial health. When they become imbalanced, it can lead to reduced energy, increased inflammation, and a heightened risk of age-related conditions.
In this, the first a series of interviews with leading female health practitioners, we explore the critical role of mitochondria in cellular health and the significant impact of hormones - for both women and men - on longevity.
Dr. Felice Gersh, the medical director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine, is a prominent integrative medicine physician and expert on women's hormones, the gut microbiome, and healthy aging. She explains the delicate balance between hormonal and mitochondrial health and its importance for overall health as we age. Dr.Gersh, also shares her perspective on the rapid growth of the longevity industry, highlighting both the promising advances and what she considers to be gimmicks that can mislead the public.
Recorded at the 2024 Longevity Fest meeting of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, in Las Vegas.
