DAY 1 · YOUR REASON
Begin with the life.
Prevention becomes more meaningful when it is connected to an actual life—not a perfect dashboard.
Question to carryWhat do I most want this conversation to help me understand or protect?
FREE · PRIVATE · NO SIGN-UP
Seven days to one better heart conversation.
You do not need to solve your whole cardiovascular story before your next appointment. Begin with the Midlife Check, then spend a few quiet minutes each day putting one part of the story into words.
Your words stay in this browser tab. Nothing is submitted or stored.
FROM YOUR CHECK TO YOUR CONVERSATION
The map is not the answer. It helps you find the first question.
HISTORY carries forward what shaped the story. FLOW, BEAT, PUMP, and POWER help place the question that is current now. This guide does not interpret any answer. It helps you prepare a more complete, more focused conversation with your own clinician.
Take one day at a time—or move through it in one sitting. Answer only what is useful. Skip anything. Partial is still useful.YOUR SEVEN DAYS
Put one part of the story into words each day.

DAY 2 · HISTORY
Keep important history from disappearing.
Name the pregnancy or reproductive history, menopause stage, family history, diagnoses, procedures, or treatment changes you want visible. Use the words you were given when you know them. “I am not sure” is also useful.
Build my Pregnancy & Heart History summaryQuestion to carryWhich part of my pregnancy, menopause, family, or medical history should remain visible in my ongoing care?
03
DAY 3 · FLOW
Bring the movie—not only the latest photograph.
Gather the dated blood-pressure, cholesterol, and glucose information you already have. Record it without trying to interpret it yourself. A missing result can become a question.
Open Build Your MovieQuestion to carryWhich trend in my blood pressure, cholesterol, or glucose matters most now?
04
DAY 4 · BEAT
Describe the moment in ordinary words.
If rhythm symptoms are part of your story, note when they happen, how long they last, what you are doing, and what you feel with them. Do not try to provoke or name the rhythm yourself.
Question to carryWhat would help connect this rhythm change to the moment it occurs?
05
DAY 5 · PUMP
Know what was tested.
List a heart test you remember, its approximate date, what you were told, and whether follow-up was recommended. Leave interpretation to qualified care.
Question to carryWhat did my prior test answer, what did it not answer, and is any follow-up due?
06
DAY 6 · POWER
Return to ordinary life.
Choose one familiar task you already do and describe whether it feels the same, easier, or harder than it used to. This is not an invitation to test or push yourself.
Question to carryWhat safe, familiar measure could help us follow my capacity over time?
07
DAY 7 · YOUR FIRST QUESTION
Choose one beginning.
Review what you wrote. Choose the lane that changed, needs clarity, or matters most to the life you want to protect. One first question does not make the rest unimportant.
Return to my Midlife CheckQuestion to carryWhat should we follow, when should we return to it, and what would make us return sooner?
