How Midi Health Is Rewriting The Longevity Playbook For Women 35+

In some ways, it’s never been a better time to be a woman. For years, midlife changes among women — hormonal swings, age-related issues, and overall health — pretty much went ignored. But the tide has changed, and thanks to our broader obsession with wellness (i.e. good posture, fascia massage, all NAD+ everything), society is finally giving long-overdue TLC to women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond.

And no one is really doing that better than Midi Health. You don’t need a crystal ball to tell you that the wellness world can get a little shady. That’s where Midi Health stands out: It’s an evidence-based, science-backed platform that helps guide women through some of the biggest shifts in their lives (and sets them up for a healthier, happier future) with holistic treatment plans and women-focused clinicians. Best of all, they do all of this through convenient virtual care, so expert guidance is just a click away.

Whether you’re looking for hormone support, weight management, or a way to live well for as long as possible, Midi has everything you need to make your care simple and streamlined. By delivering care virtually, Midi ensures that women can prioritize their health without disrupting their busy lives. Here’s how they’ve brought women’s health into the 21st century.

An Emphasis On Longevity Care

For most people, check-ups tend to be focused on right now: Stop by urgent care to figure out a sore throat, or get your eyes checked so you can reorder contact lenses. What sets Midi Health apart is that in prioritizing longevity — how long and well you live — your care can be more preventative and personalized. Unlike anti-aging, which implies you’re fighting your age to some extent, longevity care focuses on “adding many healthy years to your lifespan, helping you feel strong, capable, and confident in your wellbeing, today and tomorrow,” says Dr. Kathleen Jordan, chief medical officer at Midi Health.

Most of that happens in midlife, since that’s when the risk of cancers, heart disease, and debility (a.k.a. general weakness) all increase quickly, she says. But it’s not necessarily a time of decline, but rather one where leaning into your health can make a big difference in your later decades. “Women can take smart steps to stay strong, sharp, and vibrant for years to come,” says Jordan.

That’s led to the creation of the AgeWell care program; it checks your hormones, cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid, and inflammation markers and then tailors your visits, supplements, and care accordingly. Then, Midi’s clinicians — who actually specialize in women’s longevity — can take that insight and make a proactive gameplan to keep you healthy. Plus, it covers all the things that get missed in between your annual check-up, like your brain health, heart function, cancer screenings, and bone strength. Nothing gets overlooked — so you can stay on top of your health (and your health can stay on top) for the long haul. “It's not about trying to be younger, it's about feeling your best today while building strength and resilience that will carry you into your 80s and 90s,” says Jordan.

“Even when women advocate for themselves, they're often dismissed, told their symptoms are normal aging, or sent for unnecessary testing that misses the obvious cause.” - Dr. Kathleen Jordan, chief medical officer at Midi Health.

A Woman-First Way To Care

Medicine has long catered to men, but a lot of conditions are unique to or disproportionately affect women. In fact, “women account for two-thirds of all Alzheimer's patients,” says Jordan. “We're four times more likely than men to have autoimmune diseases. We experience more fractures, more osteoporosis, and make up two-thirds of nursing home residents.”

With AgeWell, the goal isn’t to manage chronic conditions but to avoid them in the first place. To do that, it focuses on those conditions that have an outsized impact on women. “We start with advanced testing to identify risk areas early — bone density, metabolic markers, cardiovascular health, hormone levels,” she says. “Women know where they stand before symptoms appear.” By focusing on women specifically — and tailoring the treatments accordingly, be they lifestyle tweaks or prescriptions — Midi is able to shrink this longstanding gap, which isn’t even accounted for in traditional medicine.

An All-Are-Welcome Approach

While longevity might sound like a focus for people with the resources — think billionaires, biohackers, or people who can pay out-of-pocket for concierge medicine — everyone can benefit from it. With that in mind, it’s time for the money question… literally. And the good news is that most insurances nationwide cover Midi’s virtual visits, so you can meet with your clinician without breaking a sweat. “Our care is covered by insurance in all 50 states, and we're delivering the same science-backed, proactive care that used to be reserved for people with means,” says Jordan. (That said, self-pay is also an option.)

This might sound pretty good — but what happens if you don’t exactly have the time to get to a doctor’s office or hang out in a waiting room? That’s where Midi brings care into modern times, with a virtual-first model that allows you to talk to real, live providers from wherever, whenever. “Women can access a Midi Health clinician from anywhere without taking time off work, arranging childcare, or commuting to an appointment,” says Jordan. Longevity care can be tough to find, so by bringing it right to you, Midi makes it all the more accessible. Plus, this set-up also means that clinicians can spend more time with you, so you can ask all the questions you need.

Streamlined Support For Midlife

Menopause is technically defined as when you've gone 12 months without your period. But symptoms (which go beyond hot flashes and can include mood swings, brain fog, and weight gain) can start well before that, and then last for years after you hit that menopause milestone. In fact, “when we ask patients about their symptoms, Midi patients on average have six distinct symptoms of menopause,” says Jordan. “Menopause is not just hot flashes.”

Since healthcare as it is can be so fractured, it can be almost impossible for different doctors to connect the dots — which can keep women from accessing the care they need. “Even when women advocate for themselves, they're often dismissed, told their symptoms are normal aging, or sent for unnecessary testing that misses the obvious cause,” says Jordan, who experienced this firsthand; even as a physician, it took her months to get relief from straightforward menopause symptoms. In addressing this, Midi’s clinicians give women the tools they need to navigate this huge shift in life.

Midi does that by streamlining the expertise. Instead of finding different providers — and having to show up to appointment after appointment — you can receive integrated care that pairs hormonal prescriptions (like hormone replacement therapy, better known as HRT) with weight-loss medications, supplements, and wellness coaching to help guide you through midlife. “Women are often receiving disconnected care from a variety of specialists — dermatologists, endocrinologists, gynecologists, cardiologists, sleep specialists, et cetera,” says Jordan. “Instead, our clinicians are trained and supported by these specialists to help women holistically when they are experiencing these common conditions in midlife.”

For some women, the solution might be hormone therapy to protect bone health, whereas others might benefit from lifestyle changes to support cardiovascular health. But the bottom line? Whatever your plan, your concerns, or your risk factors, Midi is meant to help women emerge from midlife feeling better, stronger, and more prepared for the future than ever.
