Longevity isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a blueprint. And for women in midlife, it’s a conversation we deserve to be leading, not left out of.

In this week’s episode of the Founder Series, we unpack what longevity really means: not living longer at any cost, but expanding the years where we feel strong, sharp, mobile, fulfilled, and deeply well.

Here’s the reality most people never hear:

🔸 Women live five years longer than men …but carry more preventable disease in those extra years. 🔸 We face a 2.4-year wider healthspan gap …meaning we are living longer but not necessarily living better.

This episode breaks down the three systems that shape your healthspan:

1️⃣ Cardiovascular health — the #1 cause of death in women

2️⃣ Bone health — with half of women 50+ experiencing osteoporotic fractures

3️⃣ Metabolic health — insulin resistance, lipid changes, blood pressure shifts

None of this is about fear. It’s about power. Because all three of these can be measured, tracked, improved, and treated with evidence-based, modern midlife medicine.

Longevity isn’t a trend. It’s prevention. It’s clarity. It’s the freedom to experience the second half of life with strength, purpose, and vitality.

And midlife is the window where these changes matter most.

If you’ve been feeling off, exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or unsure where to start… this episode is your roadmap.
