Episode 5

“Aging with Agency” | Yoanna Gouchtchina

Published on: 22nd April, 2026

Aging is not just something we undergo; it is something we can influence.

In this episode of Closing the Gap, Dr. Antonella Santuccione Chadha explores the concept of aging with agency: understanding how biology, stress, and lifestyle shape how we age, and how science enables us to act on it.

Together with Yoanna Gouchtchina, Founder & CEO of Quantum Skin, the conversation reframes skin as a living system connected to brain health, hormones, and resilience. From sex- and gender-specific differences to intelligent technologies, it offers a new perspective on aging, grounded in science, not trends.

A conversation for those who want to age with clarity, intention, and knowledge.

About the Podcast

Closing the Gap
Dr. Antonella Santuccione Chadha
English

Women and men experience illnesses differently – yet medicine often overlooks these differences. Medications, therapies, and research are still primarily based on the male body. The consequences: gaps in data, misdiagnoses, and treatments that do not meet everyone’s needs.

In the podcast Closing the Gap, Dr. Antonella Santuccione Chadha, physician, neuroscientist, and founder of the Women’s Brain Foundation, talks with female doctors from various medical fields. Together, they uncover where the gaps in women’s health lie and how we can close them.

A podcast for everyone who wants to understand why gender medicine is not a niche, but the future of our healthcare.

Deutsch

Frauen und Männer erkranken unterschiedlich – doch die Medizin übersieht diese Unterschiede oft. Medikamente, Therapien und Forschung orientieren sich noch immer am männlichen Körper. Die Folgen: Datenlücken, falsche Diagnosen und Behandlungen, die nicht allen gerecht werden.

Im Podcast Closing the Gap spricht Dr. Antonella Santuccione Chadha, Ärztin, Neurowissenschaftlerin und Gründerin der Women’s Brain Foundation mit Medizinerinnen aus verschiedenen Fachgebieten. Gemeinsam decken sie auf, wo die Lücken in der Frauengesundheit liegen – und wie wir sie schliessen können.

Ein Podcast für alle, die verstehen wollen, warum Gendermedizin keine Nische ist, sondern die Zukunft unserer Gesundheit.
