May is Women’s Health Month, including Women’s Health Week from May 14-20. This annual observance is designed to focus attention on the health issues facing women. Jessica A. Shepherd, MD., MBA, is here to answer important health questions and to share information about unique products that are available to promote better living.  Dr. Shepherd explains why women should take time to focus more on their own personal health and needs. 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.

TOPIC THAT MANY WOMEN ARE SHY ABOUT

Nearly two-thirds of U.S. women experience bladder leaks (that is 78-million!), but the subject has always been taboo. It is time to talk about it by taking control and shattering the stereotypes.

It includes a complete line of discrete bladder control products with the unique four-in-one support needed to feel clean, fresh, and free.

RELIEVE THEIR MUSCLE ACHES AND PAINS

Self-care and exercise are so important for maintaining mental and physical health, especially for women. That is why Jessica recommends Arnicare Gel by Boiron. Whether playing sports, exercising, doing yard work or home improvement projects, Arnicare really can help with pain relief. The non-greasy gel is powered by the Arnica plant and is ideal for women of all ages whose active lifestyles can lead to muscle aches, stiffness, swelling or bruising.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Many people have heard of the gut microbiome, but women also have a vaginal microbiome which plays an important role in maintaining pH, promoting yeast balance and supporting feminine health. When the balance of bacteria in the microbiome is off, people may feel it. Align Women’s Dual Action provides a unique probiotic strain to help relieve occasional bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort, as well as two feminine health strains to help support vaginal health. Align Women’s Dual Action also contains botanical chaste tree to promote monthly mood balance. For more information, visit www.alignprobiotics.com
