Host Deanne Phillips of the Wealthyist: an Annex Wealth Management Podcast, interviews Dr. Tes Jordens. Dr. Jordens, founder of 1988 Wellness (named for the year U.S. women gained independent access to small-business loans), shares insights on midlife women’s health, debunking myths around menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and obesity. The conversation ties into “wealthyist” trends, emphasizing proactive, private-pay investments in vitality as foundational to financial success and confidence.
I’m Dr. Jordens, a board-certified osteopathic physician in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine, and certified by The Menopause Society.
I founded 1988 to offer something different: personalized, evidence-based care for women in midlife. Care that validates your lived experience, supports your body, and honors your whole self—because women deserve care that meets them where they are.
