| Integrative natural health solutions for midlife womenPublished in Frontiers in Nutrition JournalCo-authors: Vanita Dahia, David J. Hunter, Will Shannon, Anastasia Suraev, Sandra Villella, Gerald Münch, Diana Chan-LauWhy This Matters Midlife can be a complex period for women, marked by significant hormonal shifts like menopause, alongside increased risks for conditions like osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and chronic pain. While many women are turning to Natural Health Products (NHPs)—like herbal medicines and supplements—for support, there’s often a disconnect between their popular use and the available scientific evidence.What We Did Our multidisciplinary team of clinicians, researchers, and experts gathered to address this gap. Our article offers a crucial perspective on how to optimize NHP use alongside conventional care.We advocate for: 🔬 Robust, systematic frameworks to generate high-quality evidence on NHP efficacy and safety, like those used for conventional medicines, but tailored for the complexity of natural compounds.🌱 Key considerations in product development, including understanding different extracts (like root vs. leaf), improving the bioavailability of active compounds (think better absorption for things like curcumin!), and recognizing the impact of different chemical forms (like various types of magnesium).🗣️ Enhanced education and communication for both health professionals and consumers to ensure safe, responsible, and informed use, minimizing risks of herb-drug interactions.Read the Full Article We believe that combining evidence-based approaches with multidisciplinary collaboration is essential to responsibly integrate NHPs and ultimately improve health outcomes for midlife women.A huge thank you to my fantastic co-authors: David J. Hunter, Will Shannon, Anastasia Suraev, Sandra Villella, Gerald Münch and Diana Chan-Lau. It was an incredible collaborative effort!Check out the full paper for a deep dive into the practical, clinical, and regulatory considerations for integrating these solutions! |

Sex hormones affect mood.Why is it Important? Fluctuating hormones drive conditions like PMS, PMDD and menopausal hot flushes.

In this essential session, we take a deep dive into the hormonal cascade, travelling through a typical cycle to illuminate how progesterone, estrogens, and androgens orchestrate your mood, sexual health, and energy.Whether you’re navigating the common questions of what high or low hormone levels actually mean, or seeking clarity on complex conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and fibroids, this webinar provides a foundational understanding.
