Midi Health

We are laser-focused on delivering expert, personalized, and holistic peri/menopause care to help women feel their best in midlife and beyond. But we also spend our days looking for the highest mountain to shout from to help destigmatize menopause and highlight the numerous ways today's health care is underserving women. We're proud to be called out by Fast Company for "bridging significant care gaps and pioneering new approaches to women's health management"—because women SO. DESPERATELY. NEED. THEM. There's always more work to be done, and we're committed to keeping our hands nice and dirty. Who's going to join us?

Some women, like Traci, can wrestle with insomnia for *years* before finding effective treatment. Insomnia is one of the most common menopause symptoms, affecting up to 47% of perimenopausal women and 60% of postmenopausal women, according to the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN). Insomnia can also impact energy, mood, vitality, and weight. For Traci, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy was a “game changer,” fixing seven years of sleep maintenance insomnia. That’s given Traci her life back. Learn more about Midi’s approach to achieving healthy sleep management: https://lnkd.in/eeYMmBZp

Let’s be clear: Menopause can be tough. Yet for some, it marks a period of empowerment and new beginnings. Sadly, this positive perspective often gets drowned out by society’s pervasive message that menopause, in the words of writer Melanie Faranello, “is the drain threatening to suck away your purpose, youth, and sanity.” Yikes—and also, THIS. Faranello, in a recent article for HuffPost, expressed her desire to celebrate and honor this transition, yet felt pressured to go through menopause privately or risk being seen as “expired.” 👉 Imagine your female employees worrying that a hot flash during a meeting might liken them to last week’s milk. 👉 Or fearing that constant midday fatigue could jeopardize their career prospects. 👉 Or that needing frequent bathroom breaks might suggest a lack of dedication. Whether coworkers hold these opinions or not, the reality is that the stigma surrounding menopause frequently occupies women’s thoughts—even if they wish it didn’t. As an employer, you can help flip the script by talking openly about menopause, providing helpful accommodations to show your support, and taking other steps to create a menopause-inclusive workplace. Every ally matters, and your words and actions can leave a far more significant mark than you may realize. https://lnkd.in/eJcNNQsa

Are vasomotor (VSM) symptoms merely an annoying right of passage for women during peri and early post-menopause, or are they implicated in poor health outcomes as well? On August 22nd, Join Dr. Lauren Streicher MD, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and the Medical Director of Community Education and Outreach for Midi Health, to discuss the imperatives of managing VSM symptoms. Dr. Streicher will discuss the latest data regarding the impact of perimenopausal vasomotor symptoms on insomnia, mood disturbances, and cognitive function. There is also emerging research that suggests persistent hot flashes may be associated with cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and dementia. She will discuss both hormonal and non-hormonal approaches to mitigating the risk.

Midi Health is honored to be one of the three organizations selected to present at this week’s Health Plan Innovation Roundtable (HPIR) Academy Showcase. Among other objectives, this event aims to spotlight solutions that address pertinent health plan challenges, exhibit unique innovation, and demonstrate current or potential data regarding ROI, clinical outcomes, and engagement. We proudly reported on our remarkable patient symptom reductions and decreases in total cost of care. Recognitions like this sure are nice. But the most rewarding aspect is witnessing how open the healthcare and enterprise leaders in attendance are to new ideas and the proactive advancement of patient care. As the leading virtual clinic for women in perimenopause and menopause, Midi gives women access to expert, holistic midlife care they struggle to get in traditional settings.

This is an excellent guide to aging better and with better brain function. Thank you Elli Kaplan and Neurotrack for laying it out clearly! Midlife is an important time for your brain and it’s good to be proactive!

How bad is menopause, really?, asks (and answers) the Mayo Clinic in a recent article. For some (the lucky few) it can be rather uneventful. For others, debilitating. But wherever people fall on that spectrum, there’s an age-old response about the experience that many instinctively reach for: “I’m fine.” Old habits die hard. “For years, women going through menopause were dismissed as just being uncomfortable,” Denise Millstine, M.D., says in the article. “And women, being who we are, put our heads down and toughed it out.” Previous generations of women who suffered with menopause symptoms in silence (because, well, they felt there was no other choice) continue to influence the generation going through the transition today—particularly those who worry that stigma around menopause will affect their careers. Connecting these women with menopause care isn't just about granting access to treatment. It sends a message that they deserve to be their authentic selves, acknowledge their needs, and feel their best—and that you as a benefits provider/employer are invested in making sure that happens. #joinmidi #menopauseatwork #employeebenefits #menopausecare

What Midi patient Jeneca shared is so relatable—most women start off with hours (or years) of research and have to cipher between accurate solutions and misinformation when looking for adequate menopause care and symptom relief. That process can be draining *and* discourages many women from finding the care they need. That’s why Midi was created. To be a safe space for women looking to educate themselves on a life transition that’s been a mystery for generations *and* to provide effective treatment for all symptoms associated with peri/menopause. #JoinMidi #MidiHealth #menopause #perimenopause #healthcare #menopauseatwork
