Dr. Molly Maloof is an expert in extending health span through her medical practice, her personal brand, and all of her educational and entrepreneurial endeavors. She provides personalized medicine to entrepreneurs, investors, and tech executives in Silicon Valley and teaches a course on health span in the Medical School at Stanford University, which she has transformed into an online course that will be launched to the public later this year.
In this episode, we go deep on hormones, trauma recovery, health span, and the science of love. She shares a funny story of what happened when she accidentally became in contact with a men’s dose of testosterone and how she’s researching the science of love, attraction, bonding, and more. She shares what she is learning, the reason she believes substances like psychedelics can help heal trauma, some tools to tune the nervous system back to safety and how trauma can affect all aspects of our life, including how we parent.
She’s a wealth of knowledge and I loved this conversation and I know you will, too.
