From periods to longevity: what every woman should know about her body
About the session
A woman’s biology is not static. From our reproductive years through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause and beyond, our hormones, metabolism, brain, bones, cardiovascular system and emotional health are constantly interacting and evolving.
Yet women’s health is still too often approached in fragments: fertility over here, hormones over there, mental health somewhere else — with symptoms treated individually rather than understood as part of a bigger biological picture.
This conversation explores what changes when we start looking at women’s health as a continuum rather than a series of isolated conditions.
Bringing together different perspectives on female biology, hormones, longevity and health, the panel will explore what women should understand about their bodies at different stages of life; how one phase can influence the next; and why symptoms may be signals worth understanding rather than problems to simply suppress.
Most importantly, we’ll ask a bigger question: What would women’s health look like if we stopped waiting for something to go wrong and instead gave women the knowledge, data and tools to understand their biology throughout their lives?
