We’ll only use your info to respond to your question.We’ve all done it—put off a doctor’s visit because we “feel fine”, life gets busy, or let’s be honest, scheduling an appointment feels like one more thing on an endless to-do list. I know I did. After having my son, I didn’t make it to a doctor for five years. But here’s the thing: many of the biggest health concerns for women don’t show up with obvious symptoms right away. By the time we feel something is wrong, it’s often been developing for years.Routine screenings aren’t just another box to check; they’re a proactive way to catch issues early and protect your long-term health. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Lindsay Ogle, a board-certified family medicine and obesity medicine physician, who helps me break down the key screenings women need at every stage of life. Tune in to find out why these screenings matter, how often to get them, and how to prioritize your health even when life feels overwhelming.ReferencesConnect with Dr. Lindsay Ogle:Website: https://missourimetabolichealth.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.lindsayogle/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMV0X6U0JLZgRMiNwGtmpegFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lindsay.ogle.90/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr..lindsay.ogle?_t=8prC4VUQZ5i&_r=1 Connect with me:TikTokInstagramEastside Menopause & MetabolismAudio Stamps00:42 - Dr. Lindsay Ogle shares her journey into family medicine, her passion for weight management, and what inspired her to establish her own metabolic health clinic.04:45 - Why routine health screenings and wellness visits are so important for women.06:03 - Key screenings by decade to support long-term health.14:35 - Colonoscopy as the gold standard for screening, plus alternatives like Cologuard and FIT.21:17 - Lung cancer screening guidelines, eligibility, and limitations for non-smokers.22:45 - Routine screenings for blood pressure, mental health, substance use, and vaccines.24:13 - Bone density screening recommendations.26:04 - Screening for reproductive health.28:24 - Screening for obesity-related risks.33:45 - Ways women can advocate for their health by asking questions, seeking second opinions, and bringing support.36:58 - The role doctors play in building trust, asking open-ended questions, and normalizing struggles.39:20 - Limited healthcare access can make it hard for women to get the care they need.Thanks for listening.
