Emotional resilience and psychological well-being. The mind-body connection is essential to women’s overall health.

Research confirms that psychological well-being directly impacts physical health outcomes. Women face unique mental health challenges related to hormone fluctuations, societal pressures, and caregiving responsibilities that traditional healthcare often fails to consider.

We use positive psychology as our paradigm for wellness. We start with your strengths, and circle out to assess emotional health, engagement in life, relationships, purpose, and mastery of skills.

Women account for nearly two-thirds of Alzheimer’s dementia cases, yet brain health is rarely addressed until symptoms appear, minimizing the reality that risk factors are decades in the making.

Women’s brains respond differently to aging, stress and hormonal changes. Lume’s brain health evaluation addresses sleep quality, brain fog and the impact of hormonal changes on neurological well-being. What’s more, over 40% of risk factors for dementia are preventable — two of which include hearing and vision loss, both of which are assessed at Lume.

Research shows women experience an increase in insulin resistance during perimenopause.

At Lume, we recognize that women’s nutritional needs differ from men’s and change throughout different life stages. Our approach provides personalized strategies that account for these female-specific metabolic patterns.

We provide simple tools to help regulate blood sugar and will happily help you interpret a continuous glucose monitor if you want a deep dive into your personalized metabolic well-being.

91% of men report or**sm during their most recent sexual encounter. For women? That number is only 64%.

When it comes to sexual health, Lume takes a comprehensive bio-psycho-social approach. We recognize that sexual health is influenced by physical health, psychological factors, and relationship dynamics. Our assessment encompasses common concerns like changes in desire, pain, and the impact of midlife transitions on intimacy with a focus on enhancing overall quality of life.

Women get diagnosed with cancer 2.5 years later than men on average.*

At Lume, our approach revolves around proactive screening and risk reduction while maintaining a gold standard of care. We ensure every woman is up to date in terms of screening for cervical, breast, lung and colon cancer. While genetic history can increase cancer risk, there are many lifestyle factors that play a role. Let us help you take control of what is in your power to prevent cancer.

Women reach peak bone mass by the age of 30. After that, we lose bone faster than we make it.

Women begin losing bone and muscle mass much earlier than standard screening guidelines recognize. Our approach identifies risk factors for osteoporosis early to preserve bone before loss occurs. At Lume, we want women to maintain their strength and independence, which is why our approach incorporates resistance training, diet, and if needed, medication tailored to women’s unique musculoskeletal needs.

Hormones impact every system in a woman’s body.

Hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman’s life can impact far more than just reproductive health; they influence brain function, cardiovascular health, mental health, metabolic health, and bone density. Yet traditional healthcare often only addresses hormones when severe symptoms appear.

Our physicians will take the time to understand any struggles with menstruation or symptoms related to the menopause transition and offer personalized solutions that may include both hormonal and non-hormonal therapies.

Women are 50% more likely to receive an incorrect initial diagnosis during a heart attack. 🫀

At Lume, our Cardiovascular Pillar is built on a critical truth: women’s heart health is different. From pregnancy complications to reproductive factors, we evaluate the unique risks that standard tests often miss.

Every patient receives a full VO2 test, not just an estimate, with results interpreted using female-specific care ranges. Because accuracy leads to better care.

Your heart deserves to be seen, understood, and supported - the Lume way.

At Lume, we understand that women’s health needs are fundamentally different. Not just in reproductive health, but across all body systems.

We’re proud to highlight our proprietary care model that integrates 8 essential pillars of women’s health: Cardiovascular, Hormonal, Bone & Muscle, Cancer Prevention, Sexual, Metabolic, Brain, and Psychological Well-being.

Each pillar addresses the unique ways women’s bodies function to provide female-centric gold standard care. Over the next 8 weeks, we will explore each of these pillars as they form the basis of our proactive and preventative approach to optimizing women’s health.

At Lume W+H, one of our greatest passions is creating space for women to connect, collaborate, and drive change.

Earlier this week, with the incredible support of Korn Ferry (), we welcomed some of the city’s top HR leaders for a powerful conversation on advancing women’s health in the workplace. Together, we’re closing the gap—one dialogue at a time.

One of the powerful tools our clinic offers to support women’s sexual health and pleasure is the Emsella Chair.
