What if the depression, brain fog, and weight gain you're experiencing isn't "just aging" but actually a treatable hormone deficiency? In this episode of Extend, I sit down with Sara Szal, MD, a Harvard-trained gynecologist who has revolutionized how we approach women's health.

We dive into why 80% of women experience brain dysfunction during menopause, the shocking failure of conventional medicine's "birth control and antidepressants" approach, and Dr. Sara's "hormone therapy plus" model. Whether you're 35 and starting to notice changes or 65 wondering if you've "missed the boat," this conversation will transform how you think about aging as a woman.

Sara Szal, MD is a Harvard-trained gynecologist, New York Times bestselling author of four books including "The Hormone Cure," and a leading authority on hormone optimization. With over 25 years of experience treating 25,000+ patients, she specializes in root cause analysis and personalized protocols for peak performance.
