AI, Hormones, and the New Rules of Women's Longevity with Dr. Fady Hannah-Shmouni of ELI Health

Biohacking with Brittany

AI isn't just writing your emails anymore—it's reading your hormones and mapping your risk. In this episode, endocrinologist and longevity doctor Dr. Fady Hannah-Shmouni talks about full-body MRIs, cancer blood tests, muscle-driven longevity, HRT, and an at-home cortisol test called ELI.

We explore where AI, wearables, and testing truly help women, and where they fuel anxiety, waste money, and dull intuition. We also get real about supplements, bad actors in wellness, and what actually matters if you want to stay strong and functional at 80+.

Listen if you want a grounded roadmap for using data, testing, and hormone support to extend your healthspan—not just add more noise to your wellness life.

WE TALK ABOUT:

06:00 - Why the future of prevention is continuous data, not yearly check-ups

35:00 - Sick-care vs wellness: Why women are pushed into the wellness economy

38:05 - How ELI works: Instant saliva cortisol, AI, and a new "Fitbit for your stress"

44:15 - CRP, inflammation, and why a low score is a longevity superpower

48:10 - Muscle as a longevity organ and why women can't "Pilates only" forever

52:10 - Perimenopause, andropause, lost productivity, and why this decade is a wake-up call

57:30 - HRT and dementia/heart disease risk: What the newer evidence suggests
