Over Forty Wellness Podcast
"Hack My Age" with Zora Benhamou
Show Notes

My guest on the podcast this week is Zora Benhamou, a mother of two grown children who currently, alongside her husband lives the life of a digital nomad. Zora has studied healthy aging for the past 20 years.  An avid life-long learner, she is interested in evidence-based techniques that slow the aging process and provide “Boundless Energy” for women over 50. 

 Zora has a series of programs that can be accessed  via her website and she also hosts a podcast “Hack My Age” that targets women over 50 years old.  We discuss in the podcast Zora’s studies in Gerontology and how women over fifty have different health concerns than younger women. Highlighting that Health and Wellness is not a one size fits all approach. We also go into detail on Zora’s : Five pillars, plus one, of Health.
