Save Yourself With Dr. Amy Shah

Being told your labs are “normal” doesn’t always mean you have the full picture of your health. I learned that firsthand when I was struggling with brain fog, poor sleep, bloating, hormonal changes, and stress, yet my standard testing showed nothing was wrong. In this episode, I’m sharing the seven numbers I wish I had known then and the ones I believe women should pay attention to as they move through midlife. We’re going beyond weight and basic bloodwork to look at the markers that can give you a clearer picture of your metabolic health, heart health, bone strength, muscle function, sleep, and longevity. Think of this as your midlife health checklist to take to your next doctor’s appointment.
