Episode notes

In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, host Robin Bailey is joined by special co-host Billi Moyer for a timely conversation with Christine Lacey , VP of Revenue at Lume Women’s Health , a Toronto-based women’s health clinic built for women by women, focused on proactive, personalized care that helps close longstanding gaps in women’s healthcare. Christine shares how Lume was founded by four women (three physicians), and why women’s healthcare cannot be compared “apples to apples” with traditional models historically built around the male body. She explains why women are not “small men,” and how reproductive and hormonal health influences whole-body outcomes, from brain health to cardiovascular health, making sex-specific care essential across a woman’s life. The conversation highlights the midlife care gap, how the system supports puberty and family planning, but often drops women when disease prevention, longevity, and true healthspan should be the focus. Christine also shares a striking stat, women live longer, but spend about 25% more time in poor health than men , strengthening the case for proactive care models.
