The Women’s Wellness Gap

Today is World Women’s Wellness day. Half of the world’s population is female and we disproportionately face health disparities, high maternal mortality and difficulty accessing healthcare. It’s indisputable that female biology is essential to the survival of the species and that our contributions to science, history, art, politics and literature, as well as in bearing and rearing future generations are immeasurable. We are your mothers, sisters, wives, aunts, cousins and friends. We are your teachers, doctors, nurses, business owners and congress women. We are part of our communities, families and countries. We are loved and respected and counted on.
And yet our unique physiology and health vulnerabilities have been historically understudied, underrepresented and underfunded. This has resulted in a gap in our understanding of conditions that affect women exclusively and in how diseases affect women differently in general. Our lack of understanding of the particular ways disease manifests in women has created misdiagnosis, under diagnosis and lack of effective interventions and treatment for women. This has undermined the over all efficacy of women’s healthcare. Equitable care is not something we should have to argue for, the wellness of the world’s women is crucial to the wellness of the world.
As a women’s health and wellness professional and a woman, I will continue to work to help close the wellness gap and support women’s wellness today and every day.

Let’s get real! I love this quote from The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams. It speaks to the fact that as time passes our sense of self grows through our relationships with others, the world around us and our unique perspectives. We grow into ourselves. Through both hardships and joys- and through our connections as well as our loneliness and questioning, we become more ourselves. In this children’s book, the velveteen rabbit did not become “real“ until his fur is rubbed off in spots and he has lost his button eyes. He was “worn in” and this gave him a deeper sense of himself. He was no longer shiney and new but he was imbued with value.
I believe women in midlife can have a similar experience. As we move forward in time, who we are can become clearer, deeper and more authentic. We can find our voices, embrace our imperfections, get clear about who we are and share our gifts with the world.

Pelvic Pain Explained
By Stephanie A. Prendergast & Elizabeth H. Rummer

This book is a classic in the world of pelvic health, written by two renowned pelvic floor therapists. I recommend it to all of my clients with pelvic pain because it is important to me that they have an understanding of what may be happening in their bodies and make informed decisions about what they can do about it! It is well written with every day language that makes it easy to understand and provides hope and resources to anyone suffering from pelvic pain. Check it out!

Eek! Does your v***a or va**na feel dry and you wonder why? Let’s talk about it.
Vulvova**nal dryness can affect your l***a, cl****is, va**nal opening and va**nal canal and even your urethra. It can cause burning, itching, bleeding or pain during daily activities such as urinating, sitting, exercising or during va**nal pe*******on/intercourse. You might not realize that dryness is the cause of these symptoms, you just know something is not “right”. On the other hand it may be obvious and you might experience what one of my girlfriends refers to as “velcro v***a.” Yikes!

Hormonal changes during menopause, breastfeeding, with PCOS, endometriosis, cancer treatment and Sjorgens disease may all increase the likelihood of vulvova**nal dryness.

Over all, nearly 1 out of 5 women are affected by this issue, with up to 50% of women over 40 and more than 50% of post menopausal women experiencing dryness. Not fun!

As a Womens health therapist and wellness coach I can educate you regarding the effects of menopause and other conditions on your vulvova**nal and pelvic floor health, assess your pelvic floor to see if it may be contributing to your symptoms and teach you strategies and exercises to decrease your discomfort. You don’t have to suffer!

Pooping in the woods. Gotta love it.
I stumbled across this graffiti on an outhouse in a remote location and it made me smile. Somehow it seemed incongruous yet also appropriate, as the outhouse was a bit of civilization amidst the wildness. If you like to go to wild places though, you have to be prepared to do without! As a pelvic health therapist I spend a lot of time thinking and talking about how we “do our business,” so potty talk is the norm. Our bowels need routine and a comfortable place to move well, and sometimes when we are away from home that can be a challenge. So, if you need to p*e or p**p in the woods, and there is not a deluxe outhouse like this one and you want to comfortably relieve yourself and be low impact on the wilderness, here is my advise:
Find yourself a nice log that puts your knees a bit higher than your hips when you sit on it. To p*e, find a stick and dig a hole just in front of the log and scoot forward. Tilt your pelvis under, and aim at the hole. Use your stick to cover the hole with dirt.
To p**p, dig a hole behind the log and scoot to the back of the log, tilting your pelvis back so your hind end is in the air. When you are done, bury the hole and cover with leaves,sticks, and a rock if there is one handy. Ahhhh…the price of freedom!
