What an excellent Osteoporosis Awareness article - demonstrating that this is not just an 'older ladies' condition. There's a wealth of useful content in here, but I draw your attention to the recommendation to take the Royal Osteoporosis Society Risk checker (link in comments). As a Peri-2-Post-Menopause Health, Fitness Life Coach who favours Whole Body Vibration (aka Power Plate) for Personal Training clients due to it's time, energy and results benefits, can I draw your attention to this form of (I call it 'cheats') exercise. It can be beneficial to those who struggle to find time to do weight-bearing and resistance training for mucle and bone health but know they need to be doing it. (Link to info in comments).

For women with heart failure, misdiagnosis can have dangerous consequences – delaying access to life-saving care and exposing deeper biases within our medical systems. Overcoming this knowledge gap is crucial. #AbbottProud for the opportunity to highlight a critical need for both patients and healthcare providers to improve awareness and advocacy around equitable diagnostic practices and greater understanding of the nuances of heart disease in women. This #HeartMonth, I hope you’ll join me by learning more about the sex-specific symptoms of heart failure and what we can all do to ensure more women have access to the life-saving therapies they deserve: https://lnkd.in/gMDYjdMz #WomensHealth #HeartFailure #HealthEquity

Our founder, Valentina Milanova 🇺🇦, was featured in a recent article by Metro.co.uk discussing the challenges of getting an endometriosis diagnosis in the UK. As the founder of Daye and a women's health advocate, Valentina emphasized the importance of enabling patients with insights about their condition and how to best manage it: "Empowering patients with knowledge enables them to advocate for themselves, seek proper care, and access support networks," Valentina highlighted in the article. "Raising awareness about endometriosis is instrumental in reducing diagnostic delays, improving treatment outcomes, and enhancing the quality of life for those affected by this condition." At Daye, we are truly passionate about raising awareness and making a difference in the lives of those impacted by endometriosis. This is why we created the world's first Period & Pelvic Pain Clinic, designed to improve the diagnosis process and offer personalised treatment for individuals facing this condition.

We need to reform Australia's health system, private and public , to improve access to effective treatments for chronic pain, while removing access to ineffective, costly and high-risk treatments

The sentiment is worthy and the importance of a rapid diagnosis cannot be overstated (#timeisbrain) but the article goes on to shine a light on the current patchy and often poor achievement of this goal. Thanks to Jacqueline Nicholas, MD, MPH for highlighting this.
