The Health Data Women Aren’t Being Given with Dr. Florence Comite
Your doctor says your results fall within the “normal range.” But what happens when you know something still isn’t right? Takin' Care of Lady Business Episode 166 On this episode of Takin' Care of Lady Business, Jennifer Justice sits down with Dr. Florence Comite , founder of the Comite Center for Precision Medicine and Healthy Longevity , to examine who gets to define “normal” when it comes to women’s health, and why population averages rarely tell the whole story of an individual body. Dr. Comite explains how precision medicine uses personal health data to identify risks before they become diagnoses. They discuss the relationship between genetics and daily choices, the blood tests Dr. Comite believes women should understand, the role of testosterone in women’s health, and why she views GLP-1 medications as one of the most consequential medical developments of this century. This conversation is ultimately about having the information to ask better questions. Because advocating for your health begins with knowing that “normal” does not always mean optimal—and that one answer does not have to end the conversation. What You'll Learn: Why population-based lab ranges may not reflect what is optimal for an individual The five biomarkers Dr. Comite recommends discussing with your healthcare provider How genetics, lifestyle, and environment can influence long-term health risks Why Dr. Comite believes GLP-1 medications could have an impact far beyond weight loss Highlights: (00:00) Meet Dr. Florence Comite (06:01) Why biological age matters more than chronological age (09:10) Why your DNA is only “a draft” (09:31) The problem with “normal” lab ranges (11:06) JJ’s experience challenging her cortisol results (19:45) Five biomarkers women should understand (31:40) Why Dr Comite believes GLP-1s are the antibiotics of the 21st century (46:50) The worst advice Dr. Comite ever received This conversation is for information, not medical advice. Talk to your own doctor before making changes. About Our Guest: Dr. Florence Comite is the founder of the Comite Center for Precision Medicine and Healthy Longevity, with practices in Silicon Valley and Miami Beach. A graduate of Yale Medical School and trained at the National Institutes of Health, she spent decades on faculty at Yale working across reproductive endocrinology, adult endocrinology, and pediatric endocrinology, and helped bring pioneering peptide therapies to market for fertility treatment. In 1992, she launched one of the first women's health practices built on precision, data-driven care rather than one-size-fits-all medicine. Today, she is the author of Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer, and continues to help patients of all ages use their own biomarkers to detect disease risk decades before it strikes, proving that with the right data, aging and genetic destiny don't have to be the same thing.
