    Dr. Stephanie Riley Hahn: Pelvic Floor Optimization, Leaks, Sex, And Prolapse
    Feb 26 2026
    Pelvic floor problems are not a “just do more kegels” issue.For a lot of women, kegels are either not specific enough, or they make symptoms worse.In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Riley Hahn, pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Longevity and Pilates, breaks down what pelvic floor dysfunction actually is, how to tell weakness from tightness, and why pressure management and breathing mechanics often matter more than squeezing harder.Join the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women’s health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan. Inside, you’ll get access to exclusive protocols, live Q&As, the latest female longevity science, and a private, supportive community of like-minded women.https://kayla-barnes-lentz.circle.so/checkout/become-a-memberIn this conversation:Why pelvic floor tightness can drive pain, irritation and symptomsThe difference between weakness and tension, and how to tellHow breathing and pressure management change everythingWhat downtraining involves, and what tends to backfireProlapse support options, and when to seek helpOveractive bladder and constipation patterns that keep symptoms aliveConnect with Kayla:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaylabarnes/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@femalelongevityTwitter:https://x.com/femalelongevityWebsite:https://www.kaylabarnes.com/Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/4OLWWn22...Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...YouTube: www.youtube.com/@KaylaBarnesLentzFollow Her Female Protocol: https://www.protocol.kaylabarnes.comLearn more about StephanieInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/longevityptpilates/Website: https://www.longevityptandpilates.com/Shownotes:Pelvic floor PT locator: https://www.aptapelvichealth.org/ptlocator

  • Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD: The Biology of Trauma + Nervous System Safety

    Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD: The Biology of Trauma + Nervous System Safety
    Feb 19 2026
    Longevity isn’t just workouts, supplements, and recovery tools, it starts with nervous system health. In this episode, Dr. Aimie Apigian explains what trauma actually is (not a label, but a measurable physiological response), how the body shifts from stress into overwhelm, and why “pushing through” often turns into years of avoidance, numbing, and hidden internal strain.She breaks down the biology behind the trauma response, including the role of adrenaline, cortisol timing, and how mitochondrial capacity influences resilience. You’ll also learn her practical, body-based approach to creating “safe enough” in real time, plus the three phases of healing: safety, support, and expansion, so you don’t stay stuck avoiding triggers forever.In this conversation:Stress vs trauma response (and what changes physiologically)Why adrenaline drives the response and cortisol arrives laterHow the body stores trauma as patterns, not just memoriesThe 3 nervous system states and the thoughts they generateA simple somatic exercise to build safety in the bodyWhy devices/meds can be bridges, not the destinationUsing biomarkers + wearables without fooling yourselfWhy modern media can create vicarious traumaJoin the most comprehensive *female-specific community for health and longevity optimization.* After over a decade dedicated to human performance and women’s health, I created this space to share everything you need to know to optimize health and lifespan.

  • I Became the First Woman in the World to Test Her Ovarian Age

    I Became the First Woman in the World to Test Her Ovarian Age
    Feb 14 2026

    For the first time in history, ovarian biological age can be measured, and I became the first woman in the world to take the test.


    Until now, women have had no real way to understand how their ovaries are aging beyond rough estimates like AMH. But this new machine-learning algorithm, trained on over 40,000 real women across different life stages, analyzes hormone biomarkers, body composition, and reproductive history to estimate ovarian age relative to chronological age.


    This is a massive step forward in female longevity science.


    In this episode, I walk through what the test measures, how the algorithm works, and what becoming the first data point actually means, not just for me, but for women collectively. We also explore what may be driving ovarian aging in the first place.


    I also share how I’m now testing specific interventions in isolation, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, to determine whether we can meaningfully influence ovarian aging over time.

    Ovarian lifespan is significantly shorter than overall lifespan and once we can measure it, we can begin to understand it.


    This is only the first step in redefining female longevity.
