Eve Was Framed

A new study suggests a link between handgrip strength and diabetes risk in postmenopausal women. While diabetes is typically associated with excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and blurred vision, the study suggests that a weaker handgrip may be a risk factor. Declining estrogen levels during the menopause transition contribute to a wide array of adverse health problems, including issues with insulin resistance and a reduction in lean mass that is correlated with muscle strength and power. Study results are published Menopause, the journal of The Menopause Society: “Handgrip strength and diabetes in postmenopausal women: insights from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2014-2019.” For more information, visit: https://lnkd.in/g-3P-fw6 #MenopauseSymptoms #Diabetes #Midlife #WomensHealthMatters #MidlifeWomen #TheMenopauseSociety

🩸 Never Just a Period 🩸 👏🏽 Essity’s new campaign, 'Never Just a Period,' shatters tired stereotypes and pushes for the menstrual health education we desperately need. 💡 With wit and unapologetic honesty, this campaign confronts the realities of women’s health—no euphemisms, no patronizing clichés, just the facts. In their global survey, Bodyform found that over half of people who menstruate feel uninformed about their periods, which inspired their mission to bridge these critical knowledge gaps. 💥 Periods aren’t taboo. They’re healthy. They’re power. As a female investor reviewing health-tech pitches, I know how underserved this area is. It’s past time for change. Let’s normalize conversations that empower people to understand their bodies and seek the support they need. ♻️ Reshare if you’re ready to see real conversations about women’s health.

Thrilled to launch the Breast Cancer Early Detection Coalition! Am so honored to work with amazing leaders who inspire me daily to advocate as best I can to make an impact. Together with a determined and well-organized professional lobbying campaign we can educate lawmakers, shape policy, and drive meaningful change that vastly changes current statistics when it comes to breast cancer. This disease is 99% survivable when caught early, so let's save and extend lives (and lower avoidable medical expenditures) by ensuring ALL women know what need to do to access early detection technologies, that these technologies are covered by insurance, and that physicians know the difference between imaging technologies and which should be used for women with dense breasts and at higher risk. With 71% of all breast cancer patients having dense breasts, which require imaging beyond mammograms for radiologists to detect the cancer, we must advocate for better policies. Join us and learn more about the Coalition on Dec 17 at 12pm ET for our inaugural public event where you will hear from advocates, patients, experts, and industry leaders and our efforts to advocate for the bipartisan Find It Early Act and other initiatives.

The New York Times just revealed a shocking reality about hysterectomies that should outrage every single one of us. Nearly 500,000 women underwent hysterectomies in 2020, and HALF of them left the operating room not even knowing which organs were removed from their own bodies. This is unacceptable. Women are having their ovaries removed without understanding the devastating lifelong consequences: heart disease, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, shorter life expectancy. And then? They're often sent home without the hormone therapy they desperately need to manage surgical menopause. This cavalier approach to women's bodies and health has to stop. Even more troubling are the racial disparities revealed in the article. Black women and women in the South are more likely to undergo hysterectomies, often without full information about their options or the long-term consequences. At Midi Health, we see the downstream effects of these decisions daily. Women come to us experiencing severe menopausal symptoms, often years after their surgeries, having never been offered appropriate hormone therapy. This is why we're committed to not just treating symptoms, but to advocating for better patient education, informed consent, and standardized post-surgical care protocols. We must demand radical change. Women deserve more than just "informed consent" ... we deserve complete transparency, respect for our bodily autonomy, and comprehensive post-operative care including appropriate hormone therapy. Our bodies are not collections of disposable parts to be removed at a surgeon's discretion. It's time to hold our healthcare system accountable. We need better standards of care, mandatory comprehensive education, and proper post-surgical support for every woman facing these life-altering procedures.

Hear from patients, clinicians, companies, nonprofits...and many who are passionate about early detection of breast cancer. Each will share insights on why they joined the Coalition and how we can elevate and advance breast cancer early detection screening. We will also share the advocacy efforts thus far and what we plan to do the rest of 2024 and in 2025 with the new Congress and Administration. Our voices matter. Join us to learn how to amplify and direct our voices to make an impact in advancing bipartisan legislation that accelerates early detection technology access for all women.
