CEO/ Founder of Midi Health, revolutionizing healthcare for women at midlife - to relieve their symptoms and support their wellbeing.
Last night Midi Health had the opportunity to celebrate Mary Claire Haver, MD's new book on Menopause with an event co-sponsored by Midi Health, Mallun Yen and Operator Collective 🔆 and moderated by Michal Lev-Ram. We had over 200 women and they had questions: -Why did no one tell me that I can take hormones even if I stopped having my period years ago? -I had breast cancer so I cannot take hormones. What are the available solutions? -I am scared because my mother had osteoporosis, what can I do to prevent this from happening to me? -Are there tests for perimenopause? I am wondering how to treat this when I am unsure where I am in my cycle. -What is the correlation between estrogen and Alzheimers? - I am gaining weight even though I eat less and exercise more. How can I lose weight in menopause? -I want to live healthier, not longer, what are your suggestions? Mary Claire Haver, MD, Mindy Goldman and Kathleen Jordan, MD spent over an hour addressing women's concerns and providing suggestions and recommendations. The biggest takeaway - even amongst this incredibly educated group of women - they are finding it impossible to get good care. Most of them have been dismissed by their doctors and denied educated recommendations on how to feel great as we age. Mary Claire Haver, MD started the evening stating that in her 50s - she is smarter, stronger, wealthier and happier than she has ever been. This takes work - exercise, sleep, diet changes, stress reduction and hormones - but it is absolutely possible. We also joked about the all of the men leading the longevity market - we need more studies on women and more women thinking about helping women increase our healthspan. This is part of Midi's mission. Fun evening!

Glas it was a great event and it looks to have been well organized as well 🙌🏼
What an enlightening and impactful evening! I came away with a deeper understanding of menopause's profound effects on women's lives and valuable evidence-based strategies to address them. Heartfelt thanks to Mary Claire Haver, MD a leading authority on menopause, for her guidance and to the Midi Health team for continuing to lead the way in making expert treatment of menopause symptoms accessible to all women.
There are so many misconceptions that need to be cleared up. And when we do get expert advice from the right people, so many women will feel better. Thank you for the work you’re doing.
I just started listening to The New Book on Menopause last night! So excited! And such smart questions. Cheers to less suffering and increased longevity! 🥂
Thanks again Joanna Strober, Kathleen Jordan, MD, and Mindy Goldman, MD for hosting such a fantastic event! It’s always fantastic when we can have Mary Claire Haver, MD in the Bay!
