New Menopause Resource “A free menopause advice line is here ?? Priya Bathija tried it out and here is what she thought … The hotline was launched by Menopause Mandate in partnership with Alloy Women's Health. While the hotline doesn’t provide medical advice, it offers free 15-minute, one-to-one online video appointments to help tackle stigma and give women real-time support. Priya Bathija shares her experience: Some thoughts after my appointment: ?? The appointment was easy to make and they had good availability. ?? The appointment started and ended on time. I was connected to a physician assistant (let’s call her Sophia) through doxy.me. Sophia is certified in menopause. ?? I prepared a list of questions in advance. It set the agenda for the call and we made very good use of the 15 minutes. ?? Sophia did an excellent job answering basic questions — how do you know if you are in perimenopause, what’s the best way to track symptoms, etc. Her answers tracked with what I've learned from other menopause experts. ?? She also offered a clear explanation of how birth control can alleviate symptoms of perimenopause and when a transition from birth control to HRT could be helpful. She made what I’ve heard and read make sense. The call was worth it for that alone. ?? There were some questions Sophia could not answer (specifically those around differences in experiences based on race/ethnicity). But, she validated them, shared what she could, and encouraged me to talk with my medical provider. ?? She provided additional resources, including a link to a menopause-trained physician locator (menopause.org). She shared that if wait times for those physicians were too long, she suggested Alloy, Midi Health, and hims & hers as virtual options. Overall, this was a very positive experience. I give it five stars. ?????????? It’s a quick and easy access point for women to raise awareness and provide women with education they aren’t getting elsewhere as they navigate this life phase.

?? Friday Inspiration: Know Before You Go Conversations Heart disease is the #1 killer of women, yet it often goes undetected until it's too late. Don’t wait for symptoms to appear—start the conversation with your doctor today. Here are 8 things you need to know and discuss with your cardiologist or primary care physician: 1?? Know Your Blood Pressure – High blood pressure increases heart attack and stroke risk. The real target should be 120/80. 2?? Check Your Cholesterol – Keep HDL (good cholesterol) above 50 mg/dL and triglycerides below 150 mg/dL. 3?? Monitor Your Blood Sugar – A fasting blood glucose level above 100 mg/dL could indicate prediabetes or diabetes—both major heart risk factors. 4?? Measure Your Waistline – A waist circumference over 35 inches is linked to higher heart disease risk. 5?? Prioritize Sleep – Poor sleep increases heart disease risk. Strive for at least 7 hours of quality sleep per night. 6?? Reduce Stress – Chronic stress triggers inflammation, which can harm your heart. Practice deep breathing, meditation, or other relaxation techniques. 7?? Get Moving – Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week to strengthen your heart. 8?? Eat for Your Heart – Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while reducing sodium, sugar, and unhealthy fats. ?? Before your next doctor’s visit, use this list to ask the right questions and take control of your heart health. ?? Read more from the Katz Institute for Women’s Health by Jennifer H.

Recognize and Communicate Symptoms:?Understand that symptoms of heart disease in women can be subtle and often misinterpreted as stress or anxiety.

Make use of reputable resources like the American Heart Association for guidance and support.? “A great resource is the?American Heart Association.

Closing the Women’s Health Gap: A $1 Trillion Opportunity At HER HEALTHX, we’re on a mission to improve health outcomes for women. Inspired by data from McKinsey & Company https://lnkd.in/geviJe6A highlights the economic and societal impact of closing the women’s health gap: ?? Fewer health conditions: Preventing premature deaths and extending active life in women could contribute $390.6 billion. ?? Increase in productivity: Enhancing economic participation of women, particularly caregivers or those with disabilities, adds $229.8 billion. ?? Expanded participation: Boosting productivity and the future earnings potential of women and girls could create an additional $240.3 billion. ?? Fewer early deaths: Reducing disabilities and absentisim for women has the potential of $165.1 billion in economic gains. Closing the health gap includes addressing women experiencing our symptoms being overlooked or dismissed. Our research goal at HER HEALTHX is to quantify the cost of dismissing women’s health symptoms — can close the health gap for women. Understanding the real cost to women patients, female informal caregivers, companies, payers, providers, families and communities is the first step in our vision to reimagine how women experience health care. When women we improve health outcomes for women, we all benefit. ?? Reply below with a ???? if you support improving health outcomes for women. HerCsuite?
