Wondering why aging accelerates during menopause—and whether youthful hormone patterns could be maintained to slow it?
Lindsay O’Neill-O’Keefe speaks with Dr. Steve Garan about the hypothalamus, hormone production, and how neuroendocrine signals shape life stages and aging. Garan explains why he views menopause as an accelerator of aging and argues that addressing aging will require a device that maintains youthful hormone profiles, rather than a pill or cream. He describes his team’s work using AI and miniaturized chips, estimates the device is 10 to 15 years away, and connects the research to preventing age-related diseases.
