For far too long, women’s health has been an afterthought—something we just had to “deal with” quietly. But not anymore. Women’s health is finally getting the attention it deserves, and one of the biggest topics right now? Perimenopause. It’s that transitional phase before menopause when estrogen levels start shifting, leading to all kinds of fun (read: frustrating) symptoms. Hot flashes? Check. Irregular periods? Yep. Low libido, vaginal dryness, mood swings? Unfortunately, all on the list. The good news? People are talking about it, and that means more support, more solutions, and way less suffering in silence.

When we think about pelvic floor health, we often associate it with women who have given birth. But pelvic floor health is essential for every woman, regardless of childbirth history. As we age, the pelvic floor muscles—responsible for supporting the bladder, uterus, rectum, and vagina—can weaken, impacting not only bladder and bowel function but also sexual health and pleasure.

I finally saw the Barbie movie (I was a few weeks behind), and I'll start by saying it absolutely lived up to the hype. What a timely coincidence that here at WISe we're focusing on "Edgework" this month and what it means to push past and challenge our limitations. The Barbie movie focuses on just that.

In a world that often feels full of roadblocks, "Barbie" serves as a hopeful tale that we can overcome our challenges, it tells an encouraging story of humans of all ages  breaking free from societal boundaries. It's overall a movie of triumph, but also a reminder of how far we still have to go.

Cardiovascular disease is often called a “man’s disease”. Yet, it is the number one cause of death for women in the United States. Despite the fact that one in three women are dying of cardiovascular disease 50% of women still do not know that heart disease is their greatest killer

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a disproportionate toll on the wellbeing of health care professionals around the world. While media coverage highlighted the stark reality of physician burnout and fatigue, the true crisis facing our healthcare system and society has not been fully recognized. By 2033, the United States will experience a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians (4). In fact, a recent survey of 20,665 health care workers found that approximately one in five physicians and two in five nurses intend to leave their practice within two years (5). Dr. Christine Sinsky, AMA vice president of professional satisfaction, says that “if even one-third to one-half of nurses and physicians carry out their expressed intentions to cut back or leave, we won’t have enough staff to meet the needs of patients” (2).

Back in 2007, you might recall this catchy commercial for Gardasil – the vaccine to help protect women against cancer-causing HPV types. The commercials had the clear message of “one less,” because with the help of the vaccine, “one less” woman would be diagnosed with, or die from cervical cancer. And since 2016, Gardasil® 9 has been the only HPV vaccine used in the United States, and helps prevent nine different HPV types.

World Menopause Day is held every year on the 18th October, intended to raise awareness of menopause and the support options available for improving health and wellbeing.
