084: What if preparing for perimenopause started long before symptoms appeared? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Miranda Naylor to explore ovarian longevity, the role our ovaries play across a woman’s lifespan, and how stress, lab markers, fertility, and functional medicine can all shape our hormonal future. We talk about taking an empowered approach to women’s health — one that treats aging less like something to fear and more like something we can consciously support, invest in, and even receive gifts from.
