Learn the 10 Most Meaningful Biomarkers for Midlife Women
Stay ahead of your health
Learn what I look at, why these biomarkers matter, and what your routine bloodwork may not be telling you.
Bring your labs from the past 12 months. Follow along privately.
A live, interactive 90-minute masterclass with Dr. Manna Semby, the Menopause Brain Doctor.
(No individual results or personal medical histories will be reviewed during this educational masterclass experience.)
You have questions about your health.
You’re working, managing your life and taking care of the people and things that matter to you.
But somewhere along the way, you have stopped feeling like yourself.
Usually, it isn’t just one thing
“What do I need to do for myself?”
Usually, it isn’t just one thing but a combination of a few which require intelligent untangling.
You may have found yourself wondering:
Start with the information you already have.
Most women have had bloodwork in the last year.
That’s where we’ll start.
Bring your laboratory results from within the past 12 months.
You won’t upload them.
You won’t share them with the group.
And I won’t interpret your individual results.
Instead, you’ll follow along privately as I reveal each of the 10 biomarkers.
For each one, I’ll explain:
Why it made
my list.
What it helps
us understand.
Why it can matter particularly in midlife
What it can‘t
tell us by itself.
Why the same result might lead me to ask different questions in two different women.
Why “in range” doesn’t always answer the question we’re actually asking.
This is a lot of words
And, importantly, I’ll show you why I rarely think about one number in isolation.
Your cardiovascular health doesn’t live in one box while menopause lives in another. Your metabolic health isn’t disconnected from your future brain health. Your genetics don’t operate independently of everything else about you.
A single “normal” or “abnormal” number is rarely the whole story.
If you don’t have recent labs, that’s okay too.
You can still participate fully—and you’ll leave knowing more about what information may be worth discussing the next time you see your doctor.
That’s where the larger health picture begins to emerge.
If dementia runs in your family
New brain health biomarkers
I want to spend some time specifically with you.
Many of the women who come to see me have watched a mother, father or another close relative develop dementia.
And inevitably they wonder:
“What does that mean for me?”
Family history matters.
But family history is not destiny.
And brain health isn’t something that exists separately from the rest of your health.
In addition to the 10 midlife biomarkers, I’ll introduce newer brain biomarkers that I consider in selected situations.
I’ll explain what kinds of questions they may help us explore, their limitations, and why I don’t believe every woman should simply go out and order every new test that becomes available.
Because the goal isn’t more testing but more meaning.
The Early Advantage:
Time
Time to understand
Time to ask questions
Time to investigate
Time to make changes
Early doesn’t mean alarmed. Early means informed.
Usually, it isn’t just one thing
What You Will Leave With
And perhaps most importantly:
You’ll have a better idea of what should come next.
This is an interactive session.
Bring your questions.
I’ll use polls throughout the interactive session so you can participate and see what other women in midlife are experiencing and wondering about.
We’ll spend time answering your general questions about what we’ve covered.
Because this is a group educational masterclass, I won’t interpret individual laboratory results, discuss personal medical histories, diagnose conditions or make individualized treatment recommendations.
You’ll have a better idea of what should come next.
About Dr. Manna Semby
I’m Dr. Manna Semby, ND, MSCP, IFMCP, founder of Aruna Personalized Medicine and the Menopause Brain Doctor.
I specialize in menopause and brain health, with advanced training in menopause and functional medicine and a particular focus on protecting cognitive health.
Medicine wasn’t my first career. I worked in finance at Goldman Sachs and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
After my children were diagnosed with autism as toddlers—and I found conventional answers deeply unsatisfying—I eventually went to medical school in my 40s to study naturopathic and functional medicine.
Before I turned 50, I went through burnout, menopause and breast cancer in the same period.
My experience as a patient reinforced something I had already begun to see in my clinical work: women are still not getting the full care they deserve.
Today I work with midlife women navigating menopause as the whole-body and brain transition that it is, as well as women with a family history of dementia who want to protect their brain health for the long run.
I believe health is the infrastructure for leadership.
And by leadership, I don’t simply mean what you do at work.
I mean having the agency and autonomy to direct your own life, make your own decisions and pursue what matters to you.

What Are Your Symptoms Trying to Tell You?
Many women are told that brain fog, poor sleep, anxiety, and loss of focus are simply part of getting older.
This is incorrect. These symptoms are clues that your brain needs help.
In this masterclass, you’ll discover:
A New Way of Thinking About Brain Health
Many women believe they have only two choices:
Research increasingly suggests there is a third option.
Many of the factors that influence brain health — including sleep, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, cardiovascular health, environmental exposures, and genetics — can be evaluated and addressed long before serious problems develop.
The earlier you understand what is influencing your brain health, the more opportunities you have to take meaningful action.
Led by Dr. Manna Semby
Dr. Manna is the only clinician in Southern California with advanced certification in functional medicine, menopause care, and preventing dementia. This unique combination allows her to help women understand the changes occurring in midlife and take meaningful action to protect their cognitive vitality, independence, and future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a free masterclass?
Yes. There is no cost to attend.
My goal is to help more women understand what is happening to their brains in midlife and what they can do to protect their future brain health.
Will there be a replay?
Yes.
Everyone will receive a replay link 24h after the event. However, the value of this masterclass comes not only from the information shared, but from participating in the live experience. If protecting your brain health is important to you, I encourage you to reserve the time and attend live.
Is this only for women who have already been diagnosed with dementia?
No.
In fact, this webinar is designed primarily for women who want to take action before a diagnosis ever occurs.
It may also be helpful for women who have been diagnosed with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and want to better understand the factors influencing brain health.
Is this for women who are taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
Yes and No.
Some women take HRT and some do not. The webinar is designed for women across the spectrum who want to better understand the many factors that influence brain health, not just hormones.
