0:07.0	We really have been misinformed and a lot of confusion was created in the marketplace, even with doctors and even with gynecologists.
0:17.0	Women, we've won the longevity lottery if you look at just the number of years we live.
0:23.2	But when it comes to health span and even more importantly, to brain span, there's a gender divide and the women are losing it.
0:32.6	Welcome to the Melanie Avalon Biohacking podcast, where we meet the world's top experts to explore the
0:39.1	secrets of health, mindset, longevity, and so much more. Are you ready to take charge of your
