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.
