This week on Ageless with Jane McGarry, I’m joined by Dr. Jessica Shepherd, OB/GYN and women’s health expert, for a deeply personal and eye-opening conversation about hormone therapy, Alzheimer’s prevention, and living well after 50.

For nearly a decade, I’ve chosen to be on hormone therapy. Like many women, I once asked: “Will it cause cancer?” and “Do I really need this?” But what I discovered changed how I think about aging—and how I live.

Women face a much higher risk for osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s disease than men. The right hormone approach may actually protect your bones, support your brain, improve mood, and even reignite your vitality and sex drive.

Together, Dr. Shepherd and I unpack the myths, fears, and latest science surrounding hormone therapy as well as how we can increase our well span well beyond our reproductive years.

There’s so much misinformation out there—and it’s time to take back control of our health, our confidence, and our future. If you’ve ever been curious or confused about hormone therapy, and how to age well for as long as we can, this episode will give you the clarity and courage you’ve been looking for.

In this episode of Ageless with Jane McGarry, we talk with Alyssa Spiegel, PA-C @thedallas_derm_pa (Dallas Dermatology) about the steals and splurges behind today’s most advanced skincare products and non-surgical treatments. From dark spots to skin laxity, discover what’s worth investing in — and where to save smartly.
