Midlife Health & Aging Medicine
And, Collective news!
Today’s Women’s Health 365 Collective Directory “call for publications” topic is women’s midlife health and aging medicine. This includes any articles about shifting midlife mindset and priorities, living in an aging body, and health or wellness issues that appear in midlife.
Substack writers, check out the section below for how to submit your work to the Directory. I’m excited to see your contributions to this week’s topic!
The remainder of this newsletter is divided into two sections: one for readers (aka all subscribers) and one for Substack writers. Read the section(s) that interest you.
Each week, I feature special articles on women’s health by our talented and knowledgeable writers. At the same time, writers are adding our impressive work to the Directory by topic. The Directory is the place to find great women’s health writing on Substack.
So far, our Directory topics: Mental Health | Autoimmune Issues | Menstrual Cycle Education and Issues | Neurodivergence | Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating Patterns | Cancer | Women’s Wellness (Fitness, Nutrition, etc..) | Women’s Medical Conditions & Experiences | Women’s Health Politics | Pregnancy | Sexual Health & Medicine
Today’s Featured Articles From Our Collective Members
Two Collective members,
and teamed up to have an honest and respectful conversation about creating intimacy on Jill’s Substack . This is a deep dive at almost an hour long and is impactful in so many ways, from learning about sex as a child (the importance of melody over lyrics) to Rebecca’s experience with uterine cancer.Rebecca is the author of 3,000 Orgasms: How I Went From a Sexless Marriage to a Multi-Orgasmic Wonderland, available on Amazon (spoiler alert: it wasn’t with her ex-husband).
Vibe: Don’t let the episode note concern you. This is an uplifting and informative conversation about intimacy between two responsible women.
I want the focus here to be on Jill and Rebecca’s collaboration, but I also wanted to mention that if you’re struggling with low libido and it’s getting in the way of your intimacy, especially during perimenopause, please read my article My Rusty Valentine: Not Tonight, Honey, I Have Perimenopause if you’d like to learn more.

In health,
Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Sara, a medical doctor passionate about evidence-based integrative health.
1. Zenith Within
2. Vitamin D and Health Benefits You’re Missing (Studies and Official Recommendations Included) (specially important for women’s midlife health)
3. https://www.zenithwithin.com/p/vitamin-d-and-health-benefits-youre?r=52ius3
4. I'm a medical doctor passionate about integrative medicine—the kind that values the whole person, just like it was practiced in the past.
On my Substack you’ll find:
- Practical tips to improve your overall health and your loved ones'
- Evidence-based, reliable information you can trust
- Myth debunking and answers to your most common health FAQs
- Chat groups, free eBooks, health news, video calls and much more!
- I’ll dive deeper into the topics I’m most passionate about—holistic wellness, nutrition, and evidence-based integrative practices—and expand on the ideas from my upcoming book: Delicious Longevity: Practical, Science-Based Guide to Holistic Wellness and Lasting Health through Nutrition.
A little about me:
- I lost my mother to lung cancer during medical school, even though she had never smoked. This reset everything I thought I knew and inspired me to dive into integrative medicine.
- I adore nature and animals. I had the privilege of sharing 23 amazing years with my sweet cat—yes, 23 years!
- Experiencing depression, anxiety, and insomnia after these losses gave me a deeper understanding of the struggles we all face—and the tools to overcome them.
Happy to be in this sanctuary for women's health and looking forward to connect with all of you!
