Starting a National Business After 50 - Midi Health Founder Joanna Strober
Description
This is such an exciting episode! I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Joanna Strober, founder of Midi Health! She shares her journey from law and investing to creating a company after 50 that focuses on accessible healthcare for women in midlife.
If you've been following along my journey at all, you know how much I love Midi Health! It's all about helping women, especially women in midlife and beyond with our unique and specific health considerations that most traditional doctors just don't know a lot about. Perimenopause and menopause is not just about hot flashes and not sleeping. It is about real health concerns that if not addressed, can lead to things down the line that can be quite detrimental to our longevity.
In this episode, you'll hear directly from Joanna how Midi Health addresses overlooked issues like menopause and perimenopause symptoms, including anxiety, sleep disturbances, and estrogen loss. She highlights the importance of personalized care, telehealth accessibility, and empowering women to take charge of their health and longevity, challenging outdated approaches to women’s healthcare.
