Turns out, sleep might be your #1 secret weapon for heart health—especially during menopause.
New research shows that getting quality rest (think 7 to 9 hours a night) in midlife could help lower your risk of heart disease. Scientists looked at data from nearly 3,000 women and found that four factors come out on top for shaping heart health: blood sugar, blood pressure, not smoking, and—the one that played the biggest role—sleep.
If a solid night of rest feels out of reach, Midi clinicians can help. They’ll work with you to tailor a Care Plan that will help you get the rest your body and heart need, from supplements to hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—which is especially useful for reducing disruptive night sweats. |

Q: Can GLP-1s help with more than weight loss?
A: Short answer: Yes—a lot more. GLP-1s (you’ve probably heard of Ozempic or Wegovy) aren’t just for shedding pounds and managing diabetes. For women in midlife, they can actually be a powerful tool for whole-body health—especially when it comes to protecting your heart.
Studies show that just 2 years of taking GLP-1s can lower your risk of heart attack, stroke, and even death from cardiovascular causes. That’s huge. So what’s going on? These meds help lower blood sugar, improve cholesterol, and support a healthier weight—all key ways to reduce your risk of heart disease.
At Midi, we don’t think about GLP-1s as just a weight-loss med. For the right patients, we recommend personalized GLP-1 prescriptions to help them live a longer, stronger life.
