To kick off Women’s Health Month, let’s go over some recent studies and statistics!

1. In 2024, the leading causes of death for women was heart disease, cancer, & stroke.

2. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that from 2021 to 2023, 41.3% of women 20 years of age or older were obese. They also found that 44.6% of women 18 years of age or older had high blood pressure or were taking high blood pressure medication.

3. The 2020, the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) found that only 20.4% of women in the US met the guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercises. Aerobic guidelines are 5 hours/week of moderate intensity exercise. Muscle strengthening guidelines include moderate movement of all major muscle groups at least 2x/week.

4. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, responsible for the death of 1 in every 5 women.

5. 1 in 5 women are at risk for Alzheimer’s Disease.

7. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women; however, lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women.

8. According to the Center Forward, the US is currently ranked as one of the most challenged industrialized countries in the world for maternal health. The current maternal mortality rate, according to the CDC, is 18.6 deaths per 100,000 births, and black mothers face a mortality rate 3.5x higher than white women.

May is Women’s Health Month!!!

What is Women’s Health Month? It’s a month where we highlight a wide range of physical and mental health concerns unique to women!

The goal is to:
- Raise awareness regarding conditions such as cancer, reproductive health, & heart disease.
- Empower individuals to prioritize their health and advocate for their own care.
- Emphasizes the importance of education and empathy, helping to validate experiences that are often overlooked in healthcare settings, such as endometriosis or atypical heart attack symptoms.

Throughout May, I’ll share information related to Women’s Health, so stay tuned!

Let’s talk about Iron supplementation!

Iron is an important body mineral critical in the production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin lives in your blood and is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.

Iron functions to:
- Support Health Red Blood Cell & Oxygen Flow
- Supports a Strong Immune System
- Fight Fatigue & Boost Energy
- Improves Focus & Mental Clarity
- Aids is Muscle Recovery
- Aids in Maintaining a Healthy Pregnancy
- Maintaining Nail & Skin Health
- Aids in Restless Leg Syndrome

Your body obtains iron when you eat red meat, spinach, lentils, and fortified cereals; however, oftentimes people (especially women & athletes) still need to supplement. It’s important to make sure your iron supplements also have Vitamin C, as Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron!

It’s important to note that having TOO MUCH iron can be toxic, so please consult your medical provider before beginning supplementation.

Let’s talk about my favorite supplements: Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in over 300 biochemical pathways in the body!

Magnesium functions to:
- Supports Muscle Function & Recovery
- Support Proper Nerve Function
- Promotes Better Sleep & Relaxation
- Helps Maintain a Healthy Heart
- Supports Mood & Reduces Stress
- Boosts Energy Production
- Aids in Bone Health
- Blood Pressure Regulation

Signs & Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency:
- Muscle Fatigue
- Frequent Muscle Cramping
- Trouble Sleeping
- Numbness/Tingling

Your body obtains magnesium when you eat leafy greens, nuts, beans, seeds, whole grains, and dark chocolate; however, most people still need to supplement. There are many forms of magnesium. I recommend Magnesium Glycinate to my patients, and it is gentle on the stomach and highly absorbable.

Let's talk B Vitamin!

What is Vitamin B?
Vitamin B is a nutrient essential for energy production, brain function, and overall cellular health! There are 8 B-Vitamins, each with its own unique function and role.

What does Vitamin B do?
1. Aids in energy production
2. Supports nervous system function
3. Essential for cell regeneration & repair
4. Aids in Hormone Production

B Vitamins (specifically B9), are crucial for proper nervous system development. So if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, make sure you are getting your B-Vitamins!

What are signs of Vitamin B deficiency?
1. Fatigue/Low Energy
2. Numbness in the hands and/or feet
3. Cognitive Issues (memory loss, confusion, etc.)

How much Vitamin B should I be taking?
First, you should consult your primary care provider about getting your Vitamin B levels checked! Each B Vitamin has its own recommended daily allowance (RDA); however, I typically recommend that patients take a B-Complex to ensure they’re getting all 8 B vitamins.
