Website speed is a factor as you noted, it appears to load fast; it would be nice if Pagespeed showed the same results to confirm that but Google does not actually use the value provided by Pagespeed or any available tool, but Google suggests using them to improve a sites speed...
I'm seeing just over 1.5 seconds with the delay being 1.2 seconds of scripting until rendering and painting. So it is not the network speed it is the script.
Correction, the scripting speed on my side is because I've got
extensions running to look at the schema, it is not the site it is my
browser.
But, more important than page speed for YMYL is Google trust/EAT/EEAT.
YMYL
The site appears to be in the topical category of YMYL, "Your Money, Your Life," is mostly an E-A-T, "Expertise, Authority, and Trust," with E-E-A-T being another algo added to find the hidden gems, (the extra "E" is for the author's Expertise, so an "author" signal may improve EAT SEO on other sites).
The knowledge graph seems to be the best way to get a view of this type of Google data. And a solid Knowledge Panel works for YMYL topics.
Knowledge graph https://developers.google.com/knowledge-graph/reference/rest/v1?apix_params=%7B%22query%22%3A%22janet%20jay%22%7D
gives me.

Several of these seem to relate to Janet,
https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/g/11k3fw6m_v would include the pinterest
https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/g/11v5wwbwqp#ip=1 lists the site first but does not show the claim knowledge panel. I'ld expect the one associated with the website to show the website in the panel and if nothing else exists show the claim option under it.
You don't need an address to have a panel, but to claim it you need to
Prove your identity which normally requires an address. I'm looking for the panel that would come up when somebody searches for a site.
So I'm not certain what ID Google has for Janet as an online [person, organization]? Google may not be certain because it does not see a verifiable signal to create update the record to say this unique person with this global ID is part of this unique website with this unique ID.
The @person, @profile record?
The schema on her home page to find the correct profile ...

I’ve spent the majority of my life in pain and have spent 20 years learning to talk the doctor talk and walk the medical walk. That’s why I’m thrilled to get the opportunity to help others avoid some of the pitfalls. Stay tuned to this space for all the doctor tips and tricks I’ve spent most of my life discovering, and some of the feels and fears I’ve uncovered as well.",

If I'm reading the schema correctly ... "@type": [
"Person",
"Organization"
] I can not find the "URL": "https://www.janetjay.com/about/". Also some trust signals are missing. the
"memberOf": {
"@type": "Orgainastion",
"URL": "https://uspainfoundation.org/about-us/our-team/"
}
Needs to be under the @person record and linked from the about page (already is linked) so it can be included in Janet's Google Knowledge Panel.
Can these records be consolidated? Maybe the About page should be the best location for the full @person record or profile to build the knowledge panel. Sadly Google My Business does not have an Author's business section to use ... so it is all schema to build the panel.
Almost all schema, A Wikipedia page or wikidata page also is enough of
a signal if that is possible.
Tell Janet thank you for her efforts to give people a better quality of life.
