I suppose the fact her 1 book was named "longevity", or at least had it in the title. perhaps she herself was sold something by charlatan DR about the HGH... its not like she was RXing herself hormones, some DRs must have been feeding her this idea.
It was the late 90s or early 2000s that she got MILLIONS of ladies to get on HRT, as was sold the bio identical (lower more pulsatile non analog dose, VS previous high dose orals and /or side effect riddled analogs)...it was sold as safer option... this eventually led to acceptance of TRT "longevity clinics"(yes naming should be different). At any rate she was sold this idea from a DR.
76 is not old esp for a lady who was as healthy as her and focused on her health... I mean many people retire at 70yo, AVERAGE lifespan of a woman in usa is 84 yo or so....so 76 is is ~10% lower than average....for a "longevity" "health" influencer....
at any rate genetics obv part of it and the fact she had cancer its surprising DRs recommended HGH.... ie maybe a wake up call to all the guys going to TRT clinics in there late 20s, MAYBE these Drs aren't there for health blasting 25yo with 200mg a week because got a test in 500s, and "BEST OF THE BEST" Dr obv did a very stupid thing RXing a cancer survivor HGH and likely decent level of test..
there is a disconnect for majority of folks in general public that HRT-TRT is 100% fine as makes them feel great and DR RXd... well opiate pill mills make people FEEL great too, thats the biz model... That being said its far better getting blood work and supervised by a Dr at very least vs blasting UG gear blindly..
on a side note about longevity folks and my admittedly recent introduction. how many of them are involved in fasting (king longevity master himself even) to RAISE GH/IGF production.... yet take host of other things to lower it...maybe I am missing something but seems counter productive.
I also think many menopausal woman need hormones, just maybe not the amount that makes them want to F like rabbits if want to live long at least. what's crazy is that the whole Susanne protocol is about FEELS, and often given more or less on how they feel via pharmacist consult, ya know the people that are selling it to them... with increasing E and T they obv feel better on more and more vs more balanced low dose approach. IT will be interesting if the culture changes now as the compounding pharmacies have been making 2-3X normal $ making hormone creams for woman because of summers.
anyhoo, just interesting topic and very curious If this changes public discussion for woman HRT or not... or if folks just say well stayed happy and healthy and 76 isn't SUPER bad....
