Today we’re exploring a topic impacting millions of women—yet one that is often misunderstood, overlooked, or quietly endured: women’s health, weight struggles, hormones, and the emotional toll that comes with feeling disconnected from your body.

In this episode of Follow Your Joy, I’m joined by entrepreneur and MyStart Health founder, Matt Stern, for a candid conversation about the future of women’s healthcare, personalized wellness, and the intuition it takes to build something meaningful in a crowded industry.

Matt’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and trusting his gut instincts against the odds.

From being homeless at 17 and living in a pool house… to building multiple businesses and helping generate over $300M in growth…his entrepreneurial journey has been anything but conventional.

Today, through MyStart Health, Matt and his team are focused on expanding access and affordability to life-changing medications—beginning with GLP-1 weight loss treatments and now strongly expanding into personalized hormone health programs for women over 50.

Inside this conversation, we explore:

• The growing health concerns impacting women today
• Why women’s hormones, metabolism, and wellness need more personalized support
  
• Matt’s personal story from hardship to entrepreneurial success
• How intuition helped him go “all in” on MyStart Health despite industry skepticism
• Why impact and personalization matter more than simply scaling a business
• The emotional and physical realities women face with weight, aging, and health changes
• What true success feels like when your work genuinely changes lives

What I appreciated most about this conversation is that it’s not just about medications or healthcare trends.

It’s about listening—to your body, your instincts, your health, and the deeper knowing that you deserve support, vitality, and solutions that honor your life stage.
