In this deep-dive episode, Melissa sits down with Dr. Amy Louis-Bayliss to walk you through the seven key health metrics that every woman should know—especially as we navigate midlife and beyond.
From lab numbers to lifestyle markers, these data points give you a snapshot of where your health is now—and more importantly—where it can go. Dr. Louis-Bayliss shares how to interpret each metric, when to start checking it, how often to revisit it, and how to connect the dots between numbers and your life goals.
Whether you’re feeling fine and want to stay ahead, or you’re grappling with change and want clarity, this episode gives you the insight you need to take ownership of your health—not just survive, but thrive.
What you'll learn
- The “why” behind each of the seven metrics: what they signal and why they matter at midlife.
- How often to test or check each metric—and what changes warrant action.
- How to move from “just a number” to meaningful progress that aligns with your goals.
- How to bring your clinician into the loop and ask the right questions.
- How to track health not from fear, but from empowerment and clarity.
- Why knowing your numbers isn’t about perfection—it’s about possibility.
