Ovarian Longevity 101: How to Slow Aging and Stay Fertile After 30 with Dr. Melissa Cano

Your ovaries age faster than any other organ—but what if you could slow that process down? In this science-meets-soul conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Melissa Cano, cellular health expert and Director of Science at Spermidine Life (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), to break down the latest research on spermidine—a natural molecule showing powerful potential in extending ovarian health, boosting fertility, and supporting graceful hormone transitions. We dive into the cutting-edge studies on how spermidine mimics estrogen therapy (without the risks), how it reversed mitochondrial aging in mouse eggs, and what this means for women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. If you're thinking about preserving fertility, supporting perimenopause, or optimizing longevity as a woman—this episode is for you.
