Vision Loss & Dry Eyes: Hormones or Aging? How To Stop It - Dr. Meenal Agarwal
Do you have dry eyes—but not sure if it’s hormonal or just aging? Wearing glasses but hoping to reverse your near- or far-sightedness naturally? Curious whether HRT, Lasik, or something else is the best option to protect your eyes from macular degeneration and cataracts? Then this episode is for you. Like many women, I started noticing changes in my eyesight in my 40s. I don’t love wearing glasses, so I’ve been getting by with just one contact lens—but according to today’s guest, Dr. Meenal Agarwal, that might not be the best idea. We cover: How menopause affects our vision and eye structure The top 3 ways to get rid of dry eyes (spoiler: it’s not eye drops) What really works to protect against macular degeneration and cataracts The surprising role estrogen plays in eye health Whether supplements and diet can truly preserve or even reverse damage The truth about those online programs promising to improve your vision Microchips to improve eye sight - is this the future or now? Dr. Meenal Agarwal is a board-certified ophthalmologist with over two decades of experience in eye care, specializing in the prevention and treatment of age-related vision changes and a leading authority on the eye-brain connection. With a deep understanding of how hormonal shifts affect the eyes, Dr. Agarwal is passionate about educating women—especially those in perimenopause and postmenopause—on how to preserve their vision, manage dry eyes, and prevent degenerative conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. She combines conventional medical expertise with a holistic lens to help women protect one of their most vital senses as they age.

Got Osteopenia or Osteoporosis? Follow This Protocol - Zora Benhamou
Is it actually possible to reverse bone loss in midlife—and do it without drugs? In this solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most-requested topics in our community: osteoporosis and bone strength. You'll hear my personal journey with osteopenia, my pre- and post-hip surgery bone scans, and the n=1 experiment I’m starting with a bone supplement recommended by bone experts. But more importantly, I’ll show you the bigger picture beyond the T-score—and what the latest science (plus insights from leaders in the osteoporosis space) tells us about building strong, resilient bones through biohacking, nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle. We cover: The difference between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis What your DEXA scan doesn’t tell you—and which other scans may offer deeper insights Bone loss in menopause and do we really need HRT The hidden risks of osteoporosis drugs Which markers may be more important than BMD scores The real impact of cortisol, sleep, and stress on your bones Nutrition, exercise and advanced biohack protocols that improve bone health PAST EPISODES: Can You Reverse Osteoporosis? https://youtu.be/JRrd52WsmXI?si=95SuFSiuQc2a2eDL Dr. Doug Lucas YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr_DougLucas Radiation Offset Protocol for DEXA scans: https://hackmyage.com/radiation-offset-protocol/ Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.
