We are going to move from a world where 5% of women are getting hormone replacement therapy

0:04.6

to a place where it's proactively given to 95% of women for prevention of osteoporosis, dementia,

0:10.8

Dr. Robin Berzin, Columbia-educated Mount Sinai trained physician and founder of Parsley Health,

0:18.0

named one of Inc's 100 most innovative women in business.

0:21.9

From GLP-1s to psychedelic therapy, from CGMs to hormone replacement, today we ask,
