0:00.0	Hey friends, it's Eric. Here on The One You Feed, I often talk with our guests about the tools
0:05.4	that help us live with more intention, more resilience, and in more alignment with our values.
0:11.5	Part of that journey is, of course, understanding and caring for our physical and mental health.
0:17.1	But for so many women, especially in midlife and beyond, finding clear, trustworthy, scientifically
0:23.8	sound, and relatable information can still be far more difficult than it should be.
0:29.8	Dr. Elizabeth Pointer is aiming to change that with her new podcast, Decoding Women's Health.
0:35.7	She's a world-renowned gynecologic oncologist, advanced pelvic surgeon, and chair of women's health at the Atria Health and Research Institute in New York.

1:34.0	disease for both the person who has it and all of the people who help take care of them.
1:39.3	In this episode, Dr. Isaacson shares his insights for how to know you're at risk for Alzheimer's, how shifting hormones

1:51.6	Whether you're 35 or 65, your health matters. If you or someone you care about is navigating
