“I’m interested in women’s health because I’m a woman. I’d be a darn fool not to be on my own side,” Maya Angelou *
Women’s health is not one size fits all. It spans our physical, mental, and reproductive well-being across every stage of life. From menstrual health and pregnancy to menopause and aging, women experience health changes that are often misunderstood, overlooked, or minimized. Conditions like osteoporosis, heart disease, and breast cancer impact women differently than men, yet too many women still lack access to clear information, preventive care, and early screenings.
Real talk. Real people. These conversations matter because women are often busy taking care of everyone else while putting their own health last. Preventive care, regular screenings, and honest education about nutrition, exercise, and mental health are essential to living longer, healthier lives. When women understand their bodies and have access to equitable healthcare, the outcome is better health and a better quality of life.
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Florence Rolston, MD, to talk about a topic we are both deeply passionate about, women’s health. This conversation kicks off Part One of a year-long series dedicated to real, informative, and approachable discussions about the health issues that affect women every day.
In the first installment, we focus on mammogram screenings. We discuss what you should know about mammograms, who should get screened, when you should begin screening, and why early detection is so important. These are the questions women ask quietly or avoid altogether, and they deserve clear, straightforward answers.
This series is about education without fear and information without judgment. Because real women deserve real conversations about their health.
