| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Resetter podcast, where I challenge you to rethink aging, hormones, and health |
| 0:10.5 | through a new lens, a very exciting lens, I promise. In today's episode, I'm sharing the deeper |
| 0:18.4 | story behind my new book, Age Like a Girl, a 10-year project. I have |
| 0:24.2 | literally been researching this book for more than a decade and writing it for the past three |
| 0:30.2 | years. This is a conversation around one question. What is the purpose of menopause? Why do our bodies stay alive despite a major |
| 0:45.7 | organ system shutting down? And so in age like a girl, we'll explore what other species can teach us, |
| 0:52.9 | how the female brain remodels during hormonal |
| 0:56.5 | change, and why this transition is not a breakdown, but a biological design for your next |

| 1:47.0 | Age Like a Girl. I have been talking about this not only on my podcast, but also on my |
| 1:54.6 | YouTube channel with my Reset Academy members. The material that went into this book, I've been |
| 2:00.5 | studying for the last 10 years, and I've |
| 2:04.0 | been writing and researching this book very intimately for the last three years. And then in the |
| 2:11.0 | last six months, I literally sequestered myself and hunkered down and put all my thoughts onto pages. And the book is called |
| 2:19.9 | Age Like a Girl and it is coming out on December 16th. And so what I'm going to do in this episode |
