Find Out Why ‘DR. JACKIE’ is On a Mission to Impact the Lives of Millions of Women

As a trusted health and lifestyle expert, Dr. Jacqueline Walters, affectionately known as ‘Dr. Jackie’ has garnered the respect of her peers, patients, and the public with her blend of passion-driven clinical knowledge and compassion. She has a passion for prevention, especially when it comes to women’s health. May is not only Women’s Health Month, but the week of May 9-15 is National Women’s Health Week. Dr. Jackie share why women’s health is so important that it’s honored twice in one month. Now that the vaccine is available and people are getting back to work, there are new issues to face including best practices to get reacclimated to working from the office. This year, more than any in recent history, it’s important to remind women to take a moment and access their overall physical and mental health. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services points out that heart disease, breast cancer, osteoporosis, depression, and autoimmune diseases are the top five health issues facing women. Dr. Jackie has this special interview to remind women to take care of themselves.

HEALTHIER CHOICES WOMEN CAN MAKE
Let’s start with our skin. It’s the largest organ on our body, so it’s important to take care of it. I recommend the Olay Body Dermatologist Designed Collection. The brand partnered with dermatologists to create a line of three body washes and a rinse-off body conditioner to target specific dry skin concerns. The moisturizing formulas help relieve and visibly improve dry skin. It’s also free from parabens, dyes, and soaps, and is made with Vitamin B-3 Complex and the #1 dermatologist-recommended moisturizing ingredient for long-lasting hydration. These body washes are also endorsed by the Skin Health Alliance. For more information, visit www.olay.com

DIET AFFECT HEALTH
Your diet plays one of the biggest parts in your overall health. It’s a fact that peanuts are a superfood offering protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats in every bite. Adding a serving of peanuts or peanut butter five times per week can have a big impact on a woman’s health. Women who eat them regularly get more nutrients including folate, which is important for women of childbearing age, and iron which helps reduce anemia in women. Peanuts, peanut butter, and peanut powder are so versatile they can easily be included throughout the day in smoothies, salads, stir fry, sauces, and snack mixes.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PROMOTING WOMEN’S HEALTH
Feeling good about yourself and your mental health is so important, and a smile is often the first thing people notice about you. That’s why now is a great time to work on an improved smile. Spark Clear Aligners is a revolutionary doctor-directed teeth straightening option that can treat all types of cases, even complex ones. Backed by over 60 years of industry experience, orthodontists who use Spark Aligners say they are seeing better and more predictable results than leading aligner brands. It’s a clearer, faster, more comfortable, and more reliable treatment experience that doctors know will be successful. It’s definitely not another copycat brand.

MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES FACING WOMEN
Well of course we can’t forget about our bones. Did you know that not only is it Women’s Health Month… May is also Arthritis Awareness Month! Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, better known as wear and tear when the cartilage breaks down, resulting in joint pain and stiffness. The new Dr. Scholl’s® Arthritis Pain Reliever is a prescription-strength topical gel, specifically targeting feet, knees, and ankles, that’s clinically proven to relieve arthritis pain, reduce joint stiffness and improve mobility. It’s available over-the-counter, and it’s fast absorbing, non-greasy and penetrates deep to treat pain and inflammation of arthritis at the source. I would recommend this to anyone suffering from arthritis pain so you can get back to things you love to do. For more information, visit www.drscholls.com
