Here’s a preview of a new show I think you’ll enjoy, Decoding Women’s Health. On Decoding Women’s Health, Dr. Elizabeth Poynor makes the science of women’s health accessible—from hormones to metabolism to longevity—so you can thrive at any stage of life. A world-renowned gynecologic oncologist and advanced pelvic surgeon, Dr. Poynor speaks with leading physicians, researchers, and educators to share the latest science on women’s wellness, disease prevention, and what it really means to age on your own terms. Each episode explores a different aspect of how to improve your health during midlife—from heart disease and genetic risks to cognitive health and beyond. Because mid-life isn’t a crisis—it’s an opportunity. In this episode, Dr. Poynor is joined by neuropsychologist Dr. Caroline Gurvich to unpack what’s really happening in the brain during perimenopause and menopause. They explore why more than 60% of women experience cognitive shifts, how estrogen impacts memory and focus, and the roles hormone therapy, lifestyle choices, and even cognitive training can play in keeping your brain sharp.

  • Pushkin.

  • Hey everyone, Dr.

  • Laurie Santos here.

  • On the Happiness Lab,

  • we're always looking at what the science says about living happier and healthier lives.

  • And that includes both our mental and physical health.

  • We've talked about how our eating habits affect how long we live,

  • what negative emotions do to our brains, and how we grow after facing adversity.

  • But when it comes to women's health, especially in midlife,

  • there's still so much confusion and stigma.

  • It's often tough to find clear, reliable, scientifically sound information.

  • Dr.

  • Elizabeth Poiner is aiming to change that, with her new podcast, Decoding Women's Health.

  • Elizabeth is a world-renowned gynecologic oncologist,

  • an advanced pelvic surgeon and chair of women's health at the Atria Health and Research Institute in New York.

  • She's on a mission to prove that midlife isn't a crisis, it's an opportunity.

  • In each episode of Decoding Women's Health,

  • Elizabeth sits down with leading physicians, researchers,

  • and educators to explore how to improve women's health,

  • looking at topics from heart disease and genetic risks to metabolism, mental acuity, and more.
