Why Postmenopausal Women Need Different Health Strategies

Dr. Pat McShane joins Dr. Julia Ward to explain why women’s health research has long overlooked older women and what that means for heart disease, dementia, and long-term function. They explore practical, evidence-based strategies to close the gap between lifespan and health span.

Dr. Pat McShane, MD, is a board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and former Harvard Medical School faculty member with over 40 years of expertise. An MIT-educated engineer and former IVF Medical Director at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, she now focuses on the science of female longevity. As the founder of WomensHealthspan.net and host of the Women’s Healthspan Voices podcast, Dr. McShane utilizes a systems-biology approach to help women optimize their metabolic health, muscle preservation, and cognitive function throughout the menopause transition and beyond.
