S8 E8: Death Clock, AI & Taking Control of Your Health with Brent Franson



This episode we’re diving into the intersection of aging and technology. My guest is Brent Franson, the Founder and CEO of Death Clock (yes, that’s really what it’s called), the world’s most downloaded longevity app. It may sound scary but promise it isn’t. It’s been named one of the “Techs That Will Change Your Life in 2025” by The Wall Street Journal, and has ranked in the top five of the U.S. App Store’s Health & Fitness category—so clearly, something’s working.

We talk about how AI and tech are transforming the way we think about aging, prevention, and longevity, especially for women in midlife. Brent created Death Clock out of frustration with a system that only reacts when we’re already sick. His mission? Help people take proactive steps—before it becomes a health crisis.

We explore why it’s never too late (or too early) to start investing in your future self, how tech can empower women over 50, and why tracking your habits might be the most life-affirming thing you do.

Here is some of what you can expect in this episode:

  • What the Death Clock app actually does (and why it’s not morbid at all)

  • Why the healthcare system is reactive—and how tech helps you get proactive

  • How AI can empower women in midlife to stay informed, independent, and healthy

  • The surprising connection between daily habits and longevity

  • How wearables and digital wellness tools are changing the game for aging

If you’re curious about AI, aging, or just want to live longer—and better—this episode is for you.

S8 E7 The Surprising Link Between Your Mouth and Your Health with Dr. Marashi



This week on Beauty is a Bitch, I’m joined by renowned cosmetic dentist and oral health expert Dr. Jon Marashi to dive into a topic many women in midlife don’t think enough about: how poor oral health can silently fuel chronic disease. Dr. Marashi—whose celebrity clientele includes A-listers and top athletes—shares why what’s happening in your mouth can affect the rest of your body. From heart disease to bone loss to cognitive decline, research now shows that gum disease and poor oral hygiene can set off an inflammatory cascade with serious health consequences, especially as we age.

In this episode, Dr. Marashi breaks down what midlife women need to know about oral care during perimenopause and menopause, why gum recession and sensitivity often show up in our 40s and 50s, and how daily habits (and the right dental visits) can make a major difference. We also discuss cosmetic dental treatments that can help you feel more confident in your smile, common myths about oral health and aging, and why paying attention to your mouth may be one of the best things you can do for your entire body. Trust me—you’ll look at your toothbrush a little differently after this one.
