Uncovering the Truth About Midlife Women’s Health
Episode 4 with guest Jay Bhattacharya.
Episode 3 with guest Pashtana Durrani.
At the 2026 Unbreakable Health Retreat in Miami, Dr. Drew Pinsky hosted Dr. Jila Senemar, Emily Kaplan, and Dr. Jaime Seeman for a wide-ranging discussion on women’s health, hormones, and longevity. The panel begins with the fallout from the Women’s Health Initiative and the widespread retreat from hormone replacement therapy, exploring how interpretations of risk reshaped clinical practice and continue to influence women today.
From there, the conversation expands into menopause, testosterone, cardiovascular and bone health, sexual health, metabolic dysfunction, PCOS, breast screening, and the importance of maintaining muscle and strength with age. The panel emphasizes the need to look beyond isolated symptoms and evaluate women as whole patients, weighing risk and benefit rather than relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all recommendations. The discussion ultimately makes the case for a more individualized and scientifically literate approach to women’s health—one that gives women better information, more options, and greater agency over their long-term health.
