Want to Live Longer? A Female Longevity Expert Says Focus on These 3 Things | Zora Benhamou

<p>Ageing isn't decline, it's the beginning of something incredible, and the choices you make today are quietly building the woman you'll be at 80.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sat down with gerontologist and biohacker Zora Benhamou, host of the <em>Hack My Age</em> podcast, who has interviewed more than 200 women across 50 countries about how they experience menopause. We got into why so many of us reach for alcohol in perimenopause without realising it's a short-lived fix for a real hormonal shift, and why removing it changes almost everything. Zora walked me through the three phases of the menopause transition, the levers that protect our long-term health, and why building your 80-year-old self starts decades before you get there. This one is packed with practical, hopeful information about movement, bones, nutrition, and taking your health into your own hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>Zora Benhamou is a gerontologist and biohacker on a mission to disrupt menopause stigma and ageist stereotypes.
