Hey there, beautiful souls! This month we're going to delve into the world of inside-out beauty, where the real magic happens. Forget about quick-fixes and fancy creams promising miracles. It's time to unlock your inner glow and let it shine through!

Picture this: You're standing in front of the mirror, wondering how you can achieve that radiant, head-turning beauty. Well, my friend, the secret lies in nourishing your mind, body, and spirit. It's time to embark on a journey of self-discovery and embrace the concept of inside-out beauty

with a friend and was reminded of how wild the tale has truly been.  I spent nearly 28 years of my life believing that I did not want to parent a child as I knew, statistically, being a mother would mean I would have less of a chance to achieve my goals.  After a series of challenging and life-altering experiences, I decided that I wasn't going to let a few data points determine the course of my life.  Two short months later I became a mother through adoption, and every day I relearn who I am as a human, woman and CEO who also serves as a mother. Motherhood is intense and indescribable, but most importantly, it is highly personal.  Every person has their own “motherhood story"- I'm still very much writing my own.

Cardiovascular disease is often called a “man’s disease”. Yet, it is the number one cause of death for women in the United States. Despite the fact that one in three women are dying of cardiovascular disease 50% of women still do not know that heart disease is their greatest killer

As we celebrate sexual health awareness month, let’s explore our own sexuality by tapping into the beliefs that are not serving us, and honor the fact that we are all sexual beings, deserving of pleasure!

Sexual health is an essential piece of our whole health and wellbeing. PLEASURE is a valuable part of being human, one that should not be shamed. For most of us, our sexuality and beliefs about sex/gender identity/sexual orientation are tied to our upbringing, culture, religious ideation, social views on purity or being a “good girl/boy,” etc.

Myths Around Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)

The sun is out and our buns are out! For July, we are focusing on improving our body image. As the temperatures rise, our confidence should too. Now in the middle of summer, we’re (well we should be) wearing sleeveless shirts, bathing suits, shorts – the less clothing the better. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a disproportionate toll on the wellbeing of health care professionals around the world. While media coverage highlighted the stark reality of physician burnout and fatigue, the true crisis facing our healthcare system and society has not been fully recognized. By 2033, the United States will experience a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians (4). In fact, a recent survey of 20,665 health care workers found that approximately one in five physicians and two in five nurses intend to leave their practice within two years (5). Dr. Christine Sinsky, AMA vice president of professional satisfaction, says that “if even one-third to one-half of nurses and physicians carry out their expressed intentions to cut back or leave, we won’t have enough staff to meet the needs of patients” (2). 

WISe Wellness Guild proudly hosted "Secrets of Successful Women," powered by Fifth Third Private Bank. This event featured top female leaders in the Greater Cincinnati region ready to share the secrets to their success in their careers, finances and personal lives. In this session we discuss:

A survey by S&P Global found that only 26% of American women have money in the stock market. Additionally, “the average female investor keeps 68% of her portfolio in cash and cash equivalents, like money market accounts, Treasury bills, and certificates of deposit”, according to BlackRock. This is a concern due to factors like: women statistically live longer than men and they make 82 cents on the dollar to their male counterparts which means they should consider long-term growth focused related to their assets. Building wealth is a slow and steady process.

Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer of women, killing an estimated one woman per minute. At WISe Wellness Guild, it is our mission to invest in the whole-self wellness of women, driving awareness and adoption of healthier habits earlier to enable them to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Back in 2007, you might recall this catchy commercial for Gardasil – the vaccine to help protect women against cancer-causing HPV types. The commercials had the clear message of “one less,” because with the help of the vaccine, “one less” woman would be diagnosed with, or die from cervical cancer. And since 2016, Gardasil® 9 has been the only HPV vaccine used in the United States, and helps prevent nine different HPV types.

“Women are uniquely made,” says Dr. Sarah Bartlett, gynecologist at the Christ Hospital Health Network, who focuses on women outside of pregnancy. “From their individual chemistry, to their family history, all of this falls into play.

This week, Stevi Carr, founder of WISe Wellness Guild, dives into Hormone Replacement Therapies (HRT) with Dr. Sarah E. Bartlett, MD.

One in three women experience pelvic floor disorders, but only one in eight of these women are doing anything about it.

Getting older can be a good thing: we have stories to tell, wisdom to impart and resilience to expand. But as our age climbs, so do our number of medical ailments - some of which we didn’t even know existed - especially for women. 

We can feel like we’re stuck living in an older person’s body even though we are still young at heart. Ailments like incontinence, pelvic floor disorders, bladder and bowel control issues, sexual discomfort, and general leakage. How are we supposed to live our best lives if we’re living in the bathroom?

This month, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness, WISe is spotlighting innovation from the Precision Medicine group at The Christ Hospital Health Network and their work in transforming the way we prevent and treat breast cancer.

Dr. Burns C. Blaxall and the Precision Medicine team at The Christ Hospital Health Network are catching cancer before it starts and helping people to understand how they can manage their unique risk-levels for cancer as they age.
