Once a taboo topic, social media posts have catapulted IBS into the spotlight. Two in three IBS sufferers are women, and the stories being shared online are uniting them in their mutual gut-related woes. But why does the disorder disproportionately affect women? Let's explore: https://lnkd.in/emu5NeRV
I take medication twice daily for IBS symptoms and I have good days as well as bad days.
I try to avoid eating red meat more than twice a week and steer away from raw onion whenever possible.
Bread causes problems too.
But I've started to eat red grapes earlier in the morning before taking my first 2 tablets, followed half an hour later by blueberries, trail mix seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, cranberry and raisins) served with bio yoghurt.
It helps, but some days it goes haywire for no apparent reason and I feel like crap, uncomfortable, bloated and irritable.
I've also started recently to take small shots of ginger, turmeric and orange juice mixed with a dash of lemon juice.
If nothing else, they add a bit of sparkle to my day.
At Last! reseach on women health. Good articles but there are 2 gaps in them, I think; 1) If statistics show that significant differences amongst XX and XY some genetics may be involved. 2) Hormons make a part of it but necessarily the target. We all have same hormones at a different level.

This video picks up from a previous post where I included data examining the political divide of right wing alignment among men while women either consistently remain to the left or have moved towards the left as the result of policies affecting reproduction and reproductive health care, motherhood, divorce, and a host of other social issues.
This video looks at the MeToo Movement and some of the backlash that it generated based on false accusations or allegations that have been made against men who were not actual perpetrators of rape or sexual assault. This video also looks at the origins of the movement and how it became co-opted by political progressives to use against their opponents who were running for office.
While the intention and incentive behind the movement initially was to shift the balance of power in order to create an environment of workplace physical and psychological safety, there has also been a misuse, abuse or misinterpretation that has created an even greater imbalance where chivalry and protection of women has now come under fire. This video examines some of the harsh realities and nuances when the topic of rape or sexual assault is brought up in conversation and brings to light some of the ambiguities from a feminist ideological perspective.

Today we celebrate the amazing women that call themselves mothers. We also must remember that women are not always receiving the care they need, especially when dealing with Substance Use Disorder (SUDs). Fewer than 11% of women are seeking help due to stigma and barriers.
First Call works to breakdown barriers and never turns anyone away because of their inability to pay. If you are ready to take the next step, let First Call help.

🤵 Stale, male, (and pale). I've heard these words many times when discussing guests for event panels.
❓ But should stereotyping any man - white or otherwise - looking to showcase his expertise be acceptable?
As a mum of two boys, who also advocates for the rights of women and girls', I'm troubled by the narrative that calls men out without acknowledging the struggles many boys and young men face in society. I'm troubled that they are struggling with their place in society.
Consider the stats:
- Suicide is the leading cause of death among men under 45
- Social media influencers like Andrew Tate are sparking important conversations, yet in the vacuum there is no counterbalance, so they become dangerous
- The rise of the incel movement highlights the challenges faced by men
I recently listened to a podcast featuring the head of the Institute of Men and Boys in the US, sharing profound insights and advice:
- We can advocate for women's rights while giving men and boys a voice
- Instead of solely calling men out, let's call them back in
- Some of the main words used in suicide notes, were useless and worthless, how do we change that?
Some valuable advice from Stephen Reeves to his sons navigating the dating world resonated with me:
1) Have the courage to ask someone out
2) Gracefully accept rejection
3) Ensure their safety on the way home
Agency, no sense of entitlement, full responsibility - that's a pretty good set of guidelines
💬 Imagine a world in which we could continue the fight for rights of women and girls AND acknowledge the struggles this can cause for men and boys. One rising does not mean the other has to be diminished.
I'd highly recommend a listen - though there are some parts that you might not want to listen to in the gym without tissues handy...

Each week, our mailbox is filled with messages from young women desperately wanting to decenter men. Typically, their first step is to decenter them from their romantic life and their self-concept. I wrote about this process and what it means to stop seeking male attention and validation.
