Women’s Wellness Health Exam

Women have long been underserved in the healthcare industry, and it is time for innovative healthcare solutions for women to come to the forefront.  It's time to establish women’s healthcare in conversations that are not just spoken in the provider's office or home, we need to extend the cultural shift to “national awareness”.  

​

From cardiovascular risk factors, osteoporosis, to breast cancer prevention, fertility, and mental health to hormone changes over a woman’s life span, we need to change our focus to thinking of it as “health span wellness” … How can we stay healthier longer... what does 10, 20, 30 years look like for you in the future!

Despite women being over half the population worldwide, women’s health has been largely under-studied and underrepresented in medicine, which extends to the clinical setting.

​

The stats are interesting, just to list a few below:

• Women die at higher rates than men from heart attacks and strokes

• 80% of autoimmune cases are women

• Women are more than three times more likely to experience mental health issues

• Women in menopause are more at risk for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and dementia

• The amazing thing is that 70%-90% of chronic conditions can be preventable through lifestyle changes!

​

We need to have discussions with our patients about gut health, breast health, vaginal and pelvic health, immune health, hormone health, nutrition, daily movement, and mental health. It all is full circle and it all matters.  It's creating a healthy lifestyle that supports us and allows us to live healthy and happy lives. 
Women require special attention, and prevention is the key.  

 

Women’s health is not just a niche in the market, it's more than reproductive years and maternal.  It is about addressing health disparities and creating opportunities to improve the lives and livelihoods of women, with positive effects that extend to society as a whole.
