Women’s History Month…

What’s our Health Status?

Happy Women's History Month!

This month we honor Women’s History Month, and we want to celebrate by highlighting how women age 35 and over can transform their health and become trailblazers for future generations who live long, fulfilling and healthy lives.  

Throughout March Functional Well-being is dedicated to promoting a health legacy for our young ladies.  Let’s look at the Top 5 Health Concerns facing women:

• Breast Cancer

• Depression

• Heart Disease

• Osteoporosis, and

• Autoimmune Disorder

Today let’s discuss a bit on Autoimmune Disorder.  Last month Bethany Monte, and I looked at hormone imbalances and the way it affects women’s health and lifestyle. (if you haven’t seen our 2-Day Master Class Series check out Day 1 & Day 2 of the series).  

Hormone imbalances can cause autoimmune diseases and vice versa - autoimmune diseases can cause hormone imbalances, there is a bidirectional relationship between the two. So ladies it is important to note what maybe your root cause to having high estrogen or diabetes or Hashimoto disease. But other factors can influence the health of our immune system as well as our hormone levels such as stress, sleep, environment and gut health.

With this in mind, I would like to urge you to take into consideration the various triggers that may enhance autoimmune disorder and strive to mitigate such stressors. One simple thing maybe that of chewing your food adequately to allow for the digestive process to be as effective as possible to ensure the absorption of necessary nutrients. However if there are complications such as a "leaky gut" there is need to heal same to ensure a healthier immune system.

Here is where Bethany Monte, Functional Medicine Practitioner and Michelle Bailey, Functional Nutrition Coach can help.  Join us as we explore ways to help you heal from the inside out. We want to support you on this journey of healthy living.  Let’s connect to learn more on this opportunity today by clicking HERE.
