In this powerful episode of The Aging Project , we sit down with Alex Isaac—PRE-VIVOR, BRCA1 gene carrier, and fearless advocate for women navigating the often-overlooked intersection of menopause and cancer prevention.

Alex shares her deeply personal story of making proactive choices to protect her health and how those decisions launched her into a broader mission: to challenge medical gaslighting, demand better care for women, and open up conversations around menopause that are long overdue.

This is an episode about courage, choice, and the quiet strength of women rewriting their health destinies.
