I’m here for clients with problem menstrual cycles (meaning irregular, heavy, painful, absent or with conditions such as PCOS and Endometriosis) - helping resolve these very common but not ‘normal’ or ‘Healthy’ aspects of periods. Clients who are TTC for a first or subsequent pregnancy - whether naturally or with Assisted Reproductive Techniques. I work with male partners too - they’re equally half of the health blueprint making this baby after all! Clients who are approaching/in perimenopause or post menopause - helping to physically, mentally and emotionally navigate this rollercoaster. #endometriosis #ttc

Hinge Health is helping the 1 in 4 women with a pelvic floor disorder. On average, women wait 6.5 years before seeking care. 6.5 years. 👀 No one should suffer in silence.

Don't be fooled - I was diagnosed as menopausal while pregnant! In my 30s, a female doctor dismissed my missed period and sleepless nights as menopause without further investigation. But when I insisted on a pregnancy test, the results were positive - a crucial lesson in self-advocacy. Imagine if I hadn't spoken up: my pregnancy could have been missed, leading to improper treatment and neglect of essential prenatal care. This experience fueled my passion for women's healthcare advocacy. I now work with activists to ensure all women receive accurate diagnoses and proper care. Join us in empowering women with knowledge and preventing misdiagnoses. Let's make sure no woman walks away with the wrong diagnosis like I almost did - and like hundreds of others do every day. #empoweringwomen #speakup #selfadvocacy #misdiagnosis #menopause

Did you know 70% of women take at least one prescription medicine during pregnancy, but only 5% of medications are properly monitored, tested, and labelled for use during this time? This International Women's Day, I am proud to work with initiatives like BRIDGE to #InspireInclusion and raise awareness of this information gap which negatively affects women’s health. Women shouldn’t have to choose between starting a family or controlling their disease.  That’s why BRIDGE is working to ensure that women with chronic diseases are equipped with reliable, high-quality data to make informed decisions about their treatment — from diagnosis of a chronic condition through their reproductive health journey.     Access to relevant information is a woman’s fundamental right.  As a former senior #Europeanmedicinesagency staff member, I've been involved in work aimed at improving the quality and availability of information about medicines, and the #transparency of data underpinning their authorisation. That work will not stop today, but the #internationalwomensday2024 is a good opportunity to remind about its importance.

Amenorrhea is the absence of a menstrual period in a female who has reached reproductive age. Physiological states of amenorrhoea are seen, most commonly, during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding). Outside the reproductive years, there is absence of menses during childhood and after menopause.

In addition to chronic diseases including diabetes and heart disease, women have gender-specific health concerns such as pregnancy, menopause, premenstrual syndrome, breastfeeding, and reproductive health. Yet most U.S. benefit plans don't take a holistic approach to women's health.   ❌ Few benefit plans include comprehensive breastfeeding support. ❌ Maternal morbidity is higher in the U.S than many high-income countries. ❌ Menopause symptoms cause one-third of female employees to have difficulty coping at work. This supplement from Employee Benefit News addresses: 🤱 How lactation support improves employee retention and productivity 👫 Ways that gender bias in health care manifest itself 🏥 Why four times as many women than men are undiagnosed #womenshealth #maternalhealth #maternalmortality #healthequity #employeebenefits #breastfeeding #infanthealth https://lnkd.in/gKZnrsim

Many women struggle with a common misconception: that different life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, peri-menopause, and post-menopause only affect the gonadal organs. Although we might acknowledge it’s more than that, we often minimize the significance of these changes, underestimating their impact. But the reality is profound. These stages involve significant hormonal fluctuations that impact the entire body and brain, leading to widespread transformation. We recognize this transformation during puberty when children evolve into teenagers. Yet, why do we overlook that similar significant changes recur throughout a woman’s life? During my upcoming talk at the @umaversity Event on Sunday, May 19th, in Amsterdam, I will discuss the impact of these stages on a woman’s body throughout her life. I’ll provide practical tools to optimize your overall health, empowering and sparking your curiosity about what’s to come.

Is the labor market prepared to support women’s challenges? Let’s reflect on menopause, pregnancy, and menstruation issues: 📍11% of women 45-60 missed work in the past 12 months due to menopause (Mayo Clinic) 📍84% of women feel menstrual pain, nearly 40% miss work because of it (American Family Physician) 📍85% of working women become mothers, yet 50,000+ pregnancy discrimination claims were made in the last 10 years (Forbes) Working in an environment that does not understand these challenges causes women more stress and discomfort. Which leads to higher turn-over levels, lack of creativity and innovation, lower focus and self-confidence levels.

Curious about what’s really going on with your menstrual cycle? 🩸 Dr. Gabrielle Francis is here to break down the science behind it! Your cycle is your body’s way of preparing for a potential pregnancy, and it involves a complex interplay of hormones that regulate ovulation and menstruation. Did you know that women in perimenopause still get periods? Unlike menopause, perimenopause means your cycles are still happening, but they might look different—shorter, longer, heavier, or lighter. These changes are one of the key symptoms of perimenopause. How well do you know your cycle? 🌟 Understanding these shifts can help you navigate this natural phase with confidence. #Perimenopause #MenstrualCycle #WomensHealth #KnowYourCycle #PeriEssential5 #HormoneHealth #WellnessJourney #CycleAwareness #NNABI
