Regenerative Medicine for Midlife: A Blueprint to Reverse the “Aging Spiral”

Hello Warriors!

This week’s episode of The Suburban Warrior Podcast is one you’ll want to bookmark—and share. I’m joined by Dr. Prudence Hall, a true pioneer in regenerative and integrated medicine who has been rewriting the midlife health narrative for decades. A former traditional gynecologic surgeon and the founder of The Hall Center in Santa Monica, Dr. Hall has spent her career helping women move beyond symptom management and into real, sustainable vitality by addressing root causes.

If you’ve ever been told, “You’re too young for perimenopause,” or if you’ve been stuck in the exhausting cycle of symptom-chasing with no real answers, this conversation is for you. Dr. Hall speaks directly to one of the most frustrating realities of midlife: women spending years in perimenopause, bouncing between specialists, while the true drivers—hormone depletion, inflammation, gut dysfunction, stress physiology, and unresolved trauma—go unrecognized. (If that’s you, you are not alone.)

What makes Dr. Hall’s approach so powerful is its depth and integration. She connects the dots between hormones, inflammation, the gut microbiome, detox pathways, mitochondrial health, sleep, and the nervous system, explaining why how we care for ourselves now will determine how we feel—and function—20 years from today.

As an Integrative Nutrition Specialist, I only provide guidance that I 100% believe in—and more often than not, follow myself. That’s why I recommend Thorne supplements to my clients and have trusted them in my own routine for years. Thorne believes the health equation is simple: to feel your best, trust what’s proven. Their supplements go through four rounds of testing, ingredient validation, and trusted third-party certifications—so quality isn’t just a promise, it’s a transparent process you can see for yourself.

The Power List: 7 Things We Learned from Dr. Prudence Hall

1. Regenerative medicine starts with root cause—not symptom-chasing
Dr. Hall’s philosophy is clear: don’t just treat hot flashes, fatigue, or weight gain. Find what’s driving decline—hormone loss, chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, gut barrier breakdown, and stress overload—and rebuild from the inside out.

2. Perimenopause can begin far earlier than most women are told
She routinely sees women in their mid-to-late 30s with classic perimenopausal symptoms, even when labs appear “normal.” Her reminder: labs may be subtle, but symptoms are not imaginary.

3. Low estrogen often means higher inflammation and blood sugar
One line that stood out: “When estrogen is low, inflammation is high.” Dr. Hall also tracks Hemoglobin A1C to assess long-term blood sugar damage, a key driver of metabolic and cardiovascular risk in midlife.

4. You can’t regenerate on inflamed soil
Hormone therapy can be transformative—but only if the foundation is addressed. Without gut repair, toxin reduction, adequate sleep, and stress regulation, hormones alone can’t do the heavy lifting.

5. Gut health is a longevity and immune-system lever
Dr. Hall explains the gut barrier as the line between the outside world and your internal environment. Processed foods, low fiber, excess sugar, antibiotics, and certain medications weaken that barrier—fueling inflammation and immune dysfunction.

6. Trauma and nervous-system regulation are part of regeneration
Healing isn’t just biochemical. Dr. Hall emphasizes calming the nervous system through acupuncture, massage, somatic therapies, and vagal nerve support—helping the body shift out of fight-or-flight and into repair mode.

7. Regenerative supplements work best when used strategically
She organizes supplements by function, including:

• Mitochondrial support: CoQ10 + PQQ

• Muscle & brain health: creatine

• Inflammation control: curcumin and anti-inflammatory blends

• Metabolic support: berberine

• Detox support: glutathione strategies + NAC as a precursor

Her rule: supplements amplify results—but sleep, strength training, and nutrition come first.
