Why women live longer (and what men can learn from it) + the world’s first Indigenous-led ocean reserve

/

In this episode, Karissa and Arielle begin in the Pacific Islands, where Indigenous leaders are creating the world’s first ocean sanctuary designed to preserve migratory routes across national borders. Then we turn to the science behind why women tend to live longer than men—and what those findings can teach us about resilience, biology, and the future of health. A thoughtful conversation about stewardship, survival, and what it means to care across generations.
