May is Arthritis Awareness Month and it hits home for me. My Mother experiences painful arthritis, and I see how the condition impacts a person’s mobility. 50 million Americans have been diagnosed with arthritis. That’s about one in 4 adults. 26% are women. There are more than 100 types of arthritis, and it’s the leading cause of disability among adults in the U.S.A. (source: The Arthritis Foundation).

Do You Experience “Eternal Summer?”
Hot flashes, night sweats and brain fog. These are just a few symptoms of menopause. 51% of women experience midlife menopause without much guidance on how to navigate mentally or physically. For some the symptoms can be extreme; for others minimal. Board certified Ob/GYN Dr. Faith Whittier joins me to discuss managing “the change” so it doesn’t completely upend your quality of life.
Dr. Faith, as her patients loving call her, has a private consultative practice at the Anza Wellness Center in Houston where she focuses on Integrative Gynecology with an emphasis on Bioidentical Hormones and hormonal imbalances.
Inspiring women and experts on health, wellness & nutrition to help you make healthy, happy choices.
