Women's Vitality Compass
You carry a lot!
On paper you may be functioning at a very high level. Yet inside there is a quieter question:
"Is this what my body and my life are supposed to feel like right now?"
You might notice a tiredness that sleep doesn't fully touch. A brain that feels a bit foggier than it used to. A shorter fuse. More aches than you remember. You're not completely falling apart — but you don't fully feel like yourself.
You're not broken. You're not imagining it. And you don't have to figure this out alone.
Welcome to Women's Vitality Compass
Women's Vitality Compass is a growing resource for women in midlife who want to understand their health more deeply — and actually do something meaningful with that understanding.
The Podcast
It starts with the podcast — a free, evidence-based show where we explore what's really happening in your body, your mind, your relationships, and your sense of purpose during one of the most significant transitions of your life. No hype. No protocols to sell. Just clear, clinical thinking delivered with warmth.
The Membership Community
The vision for Women's Vitality Compass is a membership community where we go beyond the episodes — with deeper dives into the topics that matter most, small realistic experiments you can actually live with, and a community of women navigating the same terrain. A place where the question isn't "What's wrong with me?" but "What does my life need right now?"
The podcast is where we meet. The membership is where we go to work.
If you want to be part of this from the beginning — start by downloading the free Vitality Assessment below.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Welcome. I'm Dr. Abigail Alt
I'm an internal medicine physician who has spent years watching smart, capable women in midlife get dismissed, misled, and overwhelmed — by their doctors, by the wellness industry, and by the sheer volume of conflicting information out there.
I built Women's Vitality Compass because you deserve something better. Evidence-based, women-centered, and honest about what we actually know — and what we don't.
We are not chasing optimization here. We are not outsourcing authority over your body or your life. We are building the ability to think clearly, notice patterns, and choose supports that actually align with your values and your physiology.
This is a place to get rid of the noise with clarity.
Coming Soon June 2027

The Four Dimensions of Vitality
Vitality is never just one thing. It emerges when four dimensions are tended together — not in isolation.
Physical Health
Emotional & Mental Wellbeing
Relationships
Meaning & Purpose
Physical Health
Your body is the vessel through which you experience everything else. Movement, sleep, hormonal health, metabolism, nutrition — not in pursuit of perfection, but so that your body feels like it is with you, not against you.
One simple question:
On an average day, does my body feel like it is with me or against me?
Emotional & Mental Wellbeing
It's not about being calm all the time. It's about having enough internal elasticity that when life gets hard — and it will — you can still come back to yourself. Emotional wellbeing is biological. It is not a luxury.
One simple question:
How quickly do I tend to come back to baseline after a hard moment?
Relationships
Not just your relationships with other people — but your relationship with time, work, money, your body, and the expectations that sit on your shoulders. These relationships either replenish vitality or quietly drain it over years.
One simple question:
Where in my life do I feel most squeezed right now, and what is the relationship underneath that feeling?
Meaning and Purpose
A quiet sense that your days add up to something that matters. When this dimension is thin, life can look busy from the outside and feel strangely hollow on the inside. Purpose is not optional — it is a core driver of health.
One simple question:
Where in my life do I currently feel most like myself?
You Might Be in the Right Place If:
You carry a lot — and you're functioning on paper, but there's a quieter question underneath: "Is this what my life is supposed to feel like right now?"
You notice a tiredness sleep doesn't touch, a brain foggier than it used to be, a shorter fuse — and you don't fully feel like yourself
You're done being handed a supplement or a slogan and told that's the answer
You want to stop asking "What is wrong with me?" and start asking "What does this part of my life need right now?"
The one thing I ask you to do after reading this.
Get the Free Vitality Assessment
