Know Your Numbers: Women’s Health Screenings Through Every Stage of Life

Understanding your health tests shouldn’t feel confusing or overwhelming. This talk is designed for women of all ages who want to better understand the health screenings they need at different stages of life – and what their blood test results actually reveal about what’s happening inside their bodies.

Learn about key health tests including thyroid function, cancer screening markers, hormones, cholesterol, blood sugar and inflammation, and how these results relate to energy levels, weight, mood and long-term health. The session will also explore how blood results change during perimenopause and menopause, and how they can guide conversations around menopause care and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

We will be exploring:

Cancer Screenings

• Colorectal Cancer: Screening guidelines and the importance of early detection
• Cervical Cancer: Pap smears, HPV testing, and timing for different age groups
• Breast Cancer: Mammograms and risk factors to consider

Menopause-Related Screenings

• DEXA Scans: Monitoring bone density and osteoporosis risk
• Pelvic Ultrasound: When and why it’s recommended
• Hormone Testing: Understanding hormone levels and their impact on symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and weight shifts

General Health Screenings

• Cardiovascular Health: Cholesterol, lipoprotein A, and blood pressure
• Blood Sugar: HbA1c for diabetes risk assessment
• Vitamin D: Importance for bone and immune health
• Thyroid Function: Detecting thyroid imbalances that affect energy, mood, and metabolism

An empowering talk for women who want to feel informed, confident and in control of their health at every stage of life.
