What if life after 50 isn’t decline—but your most powerful reboot?
What if life after 50 isn’t decline, but a biological awakening? In this conversation, OBGYN and Hall Center founder Dr. Prudence Hall reframes menopause, midlife and women's health through a root-cause, functional medicine lens.
Dr. Hall explains how hormones act like the body’s software—and what happens when estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone drop in midlife. She breaks down biodentical hormones in clear language, separating them from older synthetic options, and explores how hormones impact brain health, heart health, bone strength, metabolism and mood.
We touch on myths, safety, labs, inflammation, and the lifestyle factors—sleep, stress, movement, nutrition—that make treatment more effective. You’ll also hear practical steps to advocate for your care and approach aging as a second act of strength, purpose, and energy.
If you’re tired of feeling dismissed, exhausted, or confused by conflicting advice, this episode offers a clearer path forward for women over 50 and healthy aging.
