Dismantling Outdated Health Myths For Women In Midlife

How we think, how our bodies work, and how the system serves us

Courtney Younglove, MD is a physician, double‑boarded in obesity medicine and women’s health. She speaks widely on the intersection of women’s health and work, blending frontline experience with research to challenge outdated narratives about women’s bodies and health – narratives that keep women from maximizing their true potential. Through her Myths–Biology–Policy framework, Courtney equips leaders to reduce churn, design equitable benefits, and sustain high performance without burnout. Her forthcoming book, Rewriting the Rules for Women, offers a practical roadmap for companies and leaders. Courtney has advised employers, health systems, and associations nationwide and serves on the OMA Board of Trustees.
