Can You Reverse Osteoarthritis? Menopause Impacts on OA - Ali Mobasheri

Do your knees hurt when you stand up? Are you losing range of motion in your hips? Have you been told you have osteoarthritis—but left without real guidance or solutions? You're not alone. When I was first diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis, I didn't even know what it meant. A quick online search gave me generic advice like "lose weight," which as an athletic person was the last thing I needed to do. Maybe you're in the same boat—searching for better answers. That's why I invited Professor Ali Mobasheri to the show. He's one of the world's leading experts on osteoarthritis, aging, and joint health—and in this conversation, he breaks down what we really need to know about OA and can we reverse it, especially during midlife and menopause. We cover: What osteoarthritis actually is and how it differs from other types of arthritis and osteoporosis Why osteoarthritis is not just a "wear and tear" condition How widespread osteoarthritis truly is—and why the numbers are underestimated How menopause influences joint health and increases OA risk Why younger adults are increasingly being diagnosed Whether it's possible to reverse osteoarthritis Which treatments and holistic strategies are most promising Why research around hormone therapy and OA is still lacking Professor Ali Mobasheri is a globally recognized expert in musculoskeletal biology and osteoarthritis research. He is a Professor of Musculoskeletal Biology at the University of Oulu in Finland and a Past President of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). Chief Researcher & International Adviser at the State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine in Lithuania He is an active member of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS). His research explores the intersection of inflammation, metabolism, and joint aging, with a focus on early diagnosis and prevention. He also serves as an adviser to the World Health Organization and sits on numerous scientific advisory boards, including those focused on osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and regenerative medicine. He has published over 400 scientific papers and holds an h-index of 78—an extraordinary achievement in academic research.

Shocking Facts About Menopause I Wasn't Taught in Gerontology (The Study of Aging) - Zora Benhamou

I got my Master's in Gerontology—the scientific study of aging—and while we spent hours learning about Alzheimer's, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease, we spent less than one hour on menopause. In this solo episode, I'm sharing the 8 most shocking things I've learned after graduation that completely changed how I view women's health and aging. These are critical facts about menopause that should be taught in every medical and aging curriculum—but aren't. We'll cover: Why menopause is treated as a reproductive event—not a whole-body health transition How estrogen affects your brain, heart, muscles, and stress response What happens to your cognitive and cardiovascular health after menopause The 103+ symptoms no one warned you about Why most doctors aren't trained to help you What GSM is—and why over 50% of women suffer in silence Why your muscle loss may not be "just aging" The shocking stat on HRT and reduced mortality risk Zora Benhamou is a gerontologist and biohacker dedicated to challenging menopause stigma and ageist stereotypes. She focuses on empowering women navigating the menopausal transition through biohacking techniques.
