When Did Aging Become a Medical Problem?

When did getting older become something we needed to fix?From hormones and GLP-1s to peptides, biological age testing, longevity medicine and cosmetic procedures, we have more tools than ever to influence how we age. But somewhere between improving health and optimizing everything, have we started treating aging itself like a disease?In this episode of Polished Beauty Podcast, Dr. Daisy Ayim explores the increasingly blurry line between healthspan, longevity and our cultural fear of getting older. She examines menopause, metabolic health, aesthetics, ageism and the booming optimization economy. She asks a bigger question: Are we taking better care of ourselves, or constantly monitoring ourselves for evidence of decline?This isn't anti-treatment. It's pro-aging: using medicine, science and aesthetics to create more choices in how we age not to make aging itself the enemy.The conversation doesn’t end here.
