About this listen

In the very first episode of On The Ascent: Health, Dr. Laura sets the tone for what this podcast is all about: real conversations, evidence-based strategies, and the shared pursuit of feeling strong in every decade of life.

She opens up about her personal “why,” the realities of navigating health in midlife, and the mindset shift required to take ownership of your body, habits, and future. From hormones to bone density to the emotional side of caring for yourself, this episode lays the foundation for a community-driven approach to wellness.

Dr. Laura also gives listeners a preview of upcoming guests—experts in strength, hormone health, gut health, longevity, and more—who will help you understand what works, what matters, and what’s actually worth your time.
