#266: ​​Dr. Cynthia Libert, MD — Re-Think Aging: Finding Holistic Health, Longevity & Purpose

In this powerful episode, Dr. Cindy Libert takes you behind the scenes of your own biology, uncovering how sex hormones—estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA—are the silent directors of brain health, mood, memory, energy, and even sleep. When these messengers drift out of balance, the ripple effects can feel overwhelming: brain fog clouds your thoughts, irritability takes the spotlight, sleepless nights drag on, and your natural spark begins to dim. But here, the story doesn’t end—it turns into a comeback. With clarity and compassion, Dr. Cindy delivers practical, science-backed strategies that anyone can use to take control of their hormonal health. From building meals rich in nutrients to harnessing the power of strength training, from protecting your sleep to minimizing everyday hormone disruptors, she reveals how small lifestyle choices can unlock big results. And there’s a surprising twist: the healing power of joy, pleasure, and meaningful relationships. Beyond labs and checklists, Dr. Cindy reminds us that laughter, connection, and fulfillment are not luxuries—they are essential tools for hormonal balance and a thriving mind. Part science, part empowerment, and all inspiration—this episode is your ultimate guide to restoring balance, reclaiming energy, and creating a life where your brain and body are finally working in harmony.
