"Giving 98 Million Women Options to Aging" with KJ Banuk
This episode sheds light on one of the most overlooked health crises in America—hormone health in women. Danny Flores sits down with KJ Banuk, a precision medicine consultant and 26-year biotech veteran, to explore the forgotten reality that 98 million women are navigating perimenopause and menopause with limited guidance. KJ shares how a flawed 2002 study sidelined hormone therapy for decades and how new FDA guidance is now rewriting that narrative.
We explore the 20-year lag between medical research and clinical practice, the real drivers behind inflammation and aging, and the incredible potential of peptides and hormone therapy for both women and men. KJ also offers resources, including how to find specialized care, and gives a shoutout to JOIN MIDI Health and her local favorites in Orange County.
Whether you're a woman looking to feel more like yourself again, or a man wondering how TRT could optimize your energy and vitality, this episode breaks it all down—clearly, passionately, and practically.
