We talk a lot on Get Rich about how to prevent a financial crisis, building buffers, having the right insurance, and not leaving things until it’s too late.

In this episode, we apply that same thinking to something just as important: your health.

Because a medical crisis doesn’t just affect your body, it can impact your income, savings, super, career, and long-term financial security.

Molly is joined by women’s health GP Joanne Helen Mackson to create a practical, decade-by-decade health checklist for Australian women in their 30s, 40s and 50s, covering what to screen for, what symptoms to take seriously, and how to advocate for yourself in a system that hasn’t always been built with women in mind.

In this episode, we cover:
What health checks actually matter in your 30s, including cervical screening, skin checks, fertility conversations, mental health, and when period pain isn’t normal
What changes in your 40s, including the Medicare 45+ Health Assessment, perimenopause symptoms, bowel cancer screening from 45, and breast screening decisions
What to prioritise in your 50s, including mammograms, bowel screening, bone health, heart health, and chronic disease prevention
Why women often need to push harder for answers, and how to do that effectively
How prevention is one of the smartest financial and life investments you can make

This is the episode to listen to with your notes app open, then book the check-ups you’ve been putting off, and send to a friend who needs it too.

General information only. Always speak with your GP or healthcare professional about what’s right for you.

Health is wealth, and this episode shows you how to protect both.
