Longevity planning for women, without the bro-science

Open any longevity podcast or best-seller and you'll find the same stack: testosterone optimization, fasting, zone 2 cardio, metformin, rapamycin. The research these protocols draw from is largely based on male physiology. Some of it generalizes. Much of it doesn't.

For women, longevity planning that ignores hormones is building a house without a foundation. The single largest modifiable driver of cardiovascular, bone, cognitive, and metabolic health in the second half of life is estrogen status. The second is muscle mass. The third is sleep. None of these are addressed by most longevity influencer stacks.

A genuinely female-physiology longevity approach starts with: assessing and maintaining estrogen and progesterone where appropriate; protecting muscle aggressively through resistance training and protein intake; preserving bone density with load and nutrition (and if needed, pharmacology); and addressing cardiovascular risk factors that diverge from male patterns after 50.

Fasting, cold plunging, and supplements are downstream interventions — they can help at the margin, but they don't rescue a protocol that ignored the hormonal and muscular foundation.

At Meemo, our longevity tier isn't a supplement subscription. It's ongoing physician partnership focused on the measurable interventions that have the best evidence in women specifically.
