Lifestyle and Breast Cancer: 6 STEPS You Can Take to Reduce Your Risk
By: Richa Mittal, MD
According to the CDC, heart disease is the #1 and cancer is the #2 top causes of death in women in the United States. The most common types of cancer among U.S. women are breast, lung, and colon/rectum.
Rates of breast cancer have been increasing over time until 2020, when there was a decline noted, however, this may have been due to Covid-19-related delays in health services and reduced screening.
With 131.5 cases of female breast cancer per 100,000 women in 2019, and this being an upward trend, women must arm themselves with information and put lifestyle habits into place to reduce risk.
Lifestyle alone cannot prevent every case…
By no means is every case unavoidable, and even though you may practice all the health habits, you may experience breast cancer… it is NEVER anyone’s fault. In addition to screening mammograms starting at the age of 40 (and even earlier if you have a family history- please discuss with your physician), I’d like to share some ways you can help with prevention.
Although factors like age and postmenopausal status, gene mutations, and family history, which we have no control over, play a role for many individuals, there are some lifestyle factors that we DO have some control over.
WHAT YOU CAN DO? Here are 6 lifestyle factors you can start working on right away for your prevention plan!
1 REDUCE YOURINTAKE OF ALCOHOL
Alcohol is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which means there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans. You may be thinking this is only true for heavy use, but even light or moderate use appears to impact cancer risk.
A meta-analysis of cohort studies in the journal Cancer Research and Treatment from 2018 showed that even light alcohol use led to an increased risk of breast cancer in women.
** Light use was classified as less than or equal to 1 drink/day- 355 mL glass of beer, 1 glass of wine, or single shot of hard liquor, and moderate use was 1-2 drinks/day.
Heavier alcohol use further increased the risk of breast and other cancers. Alcohol for many of us is a large part of social life and even “mom culture”, which can make cutting down challenging. Try alternating alcoholic beverages with nonalcoholic drinks or even abstaining when
you can, while still enjoying the social experience!
If your daily stress reliever is that daily glass of wine or 2 (or 3!), it would benefit you to work to find other ways to cope with stress and find other daily “wind downs”. Often, daily use could be an attempt to self-treat anxiety or other mood disorders, so if you think that’s the case, seek help with a mental health provider.
2
MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT
Obesity, especially central obesity (increased waist circumference) increases breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.
Data in women age 50-79 from the Women’s Health Initiative showed with co-existing metabolic syndrome (3 or more of the following: high blood pressure, increased waist circumference, insulin resistance and increased blood sugar- prediabetes/type 2 diabetes, low HDL, and high triglycerides) there is even further increased risk.
To learn more about metabolic syndrome, visit our radiant health website blog at www. radianthealth.com. Maintaining a healthy weight, along with a healthy lifestyle, can help reduce risk. Among women with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and HER2+ breast cancer, higher weight and increased body fat composition are associated with a higher all-cause mortality, breast cancer-
related death, recurrence, and reduced survival. No clear association has been seen in patients with triple-negative tumors.
So, even in women with a history of breast cancer, a focus on reducing waist circumference and visceral fat, along with practicing a healthful lifestyle, can help their long-term health outcomes.
3
INCREASE YOUR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Meeting recommended levels of physical activity (hitting 150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of intense physical activity and 2 days/week of resistance training) can help reduce breast cancer risk, outside of impacts on body weight.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies in 2021 from the Journal of Research and Health Sciences looked at risk factors for breast cancer from data of 19,413,702 participants. Findings showed a 9% reduction in risk in those who met sufficient physical activity levels.
Other factors that reduced breast cancer risk were breastfeeding, giving birth, and adequate fruit and vegetable consumption.
4 STOP SMOKING
The overall effect of smoking noted in the meta-analysis mentioned above was a 7% increase in the risk for breast cancer.
5 EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
The risk for breast cancer was significantly reduced by 23% in those who had a higher intake of fruit and vegetable consumption compared to those with the lowest intake.
6 REDUCE RED MEAT AND PROCESSED MEAT CONSUMPTION
In a systematic review of prospective/observational studies published in 2021 from the journal Advances in Nutrition, there was an increased risk of breast cancer noted in women with every 100g/day increase in intake of red meat. Risk was increased by 10% up to 150 g/day and increased by 10% up to 50 g/day of processed meat.
Overall, they found a decreased risk of breast cancer with increased intakes of fruits, vegetables, soybeans, and cheese, and a positive association between red meat and processed meat consumption.
A NOTE ON SOY
The risk of breast cancer in many observational studies has been noted to be reduced with the consumption of soy foods, especially in Chinese and Asian women. In women from other ethnicities, the risk is neither increased nor reduced, in pre- or postmenopausal women.
I hope you can take some of this knowledge and start to be more mindful day to day of the small ways in which, as women, we can empower ourselves in our preventive health. Please share this with loved ones, and let’s do what we can to protect ourselves!

Raising Littles:
Advice from a Child Therapy Expert
As a Registered Play Therapist, I’ve been in the business of helping children and parents for over a decade. When I think back to my early years of raising my own (now college-bound) children, I was so hungry for information. Being the neurodivergent maniac that I can sometimes be about a passion project, I took my quest for information a bit far and ended up in graduate school. The result of that journey has been the most amazing career that I could have ever hoped for. And! I now know how to speak 3-year-old! What a fun thing to have the privilege to know and practice!
I’d like to share a few important nuggets of knowledge with you, bleary-eyed, sleepdeprived, over-stimulated moms of toddlers and beyond. The world of a young child is a roller coaster, and as long as you have a comfy seat, you can really enjoy this most amazing ride!
MOST IMPORTANT: Let them plaaaaayyyyyyyy. Please. For the Love. Relax and let your children play. Let them dig, stack, color, and create. Let them sit in the grass and stomp in mud puddles. Let them play with you and with others and alone. Play is the truest language of children. It is how they explore their world, learn about relationships and cause and effect, experience power and wonder, and
imagination. Childhood has become too crowded with flash cards and “enrichment” classes filled with pressure and expectations. What a young child needs more than anything is time to play without structure. What used to be the norm has now become a rarity. Relax Mama.
Repetition is how they learn. Children are magical in knowing what they need. Repetition is key to learning, understanding, healing, and exploring. If your knee-high counterpart wants to sit and fill a cup with beans and dump it out for half an hour, let them. Parents tend to overcomplicate what they don’t understand or what doesn’t fit their defined notion of quality activities. Try trusting the child to know what’s best.
Learn your child’s cues. Children speak through behavior. If you think about it, nothing on earth communicates joy, anger, sadness, sleepiness, excitement, pain or fear as clearly as the facial expressions and sounds of children. If you pay attention, you’ll know what the behavior is saying and feel more confident in how to meet the need. If a child is dysregulated, don’t try to teach and don’t expect compliance. Regulate first, deal with the issue afterwards.
Co-regulation is incredible for emotional regulation, calming, and bonding. Many
children prefer being held closely, rocking or swinging, while others need sensory soothing, such as soft brushing or pressure. The key is the caregiver being regulated and then helping the child manage their energy based on your comfort and calm. I think all young parents would benefit tremendously from taking a 10-week course called
Filial Therapy or Child Parent Relationship Training. It is a life-changing course that focuses on understanding and responding to your child throughout their development. You can find these classes for a very low cost at many local universities or counseling practices.
GET. OFF. OF. YOUR. PHONE. You get one shot at these precious early years. I’m not saying you can never get your Instagram fix, but please look at your children more than you do your apps. If you need help being more disciplined, set screen time limits on your own phone. Minimize their screen time as well. I know it’s a default addiction for most of America, but you don’t want to grieve being an absent parent as they leave the nest.
Spend time with other moms and their children. This is a time when you can be the architect of their social engagement. Share this time with friends and enjoy the camaraderie of tiny sports teams, mom’s clubs, and play dates. Around 4th grade, this starts to change, and by middle school, it’s over. Cherish it now because it can be a very connected and supportive time if you engage and embrace it.
Pick your battles and don’t always insist on the win. Protect the relationship. Yelling is a choice. No one makes you yell. You chose to. Respect is earned, and fear can be taught. Think about which reaction you want from your child.
Spend time on what matters. You don’t have enough energy or time for it all. Rest when they rest. The laundry can wait.
Be consistent. It’s ok to say no to them, but also to anything you choose! Your job is not to make them happy. It is to create tiny empathetic, accountable humans that can tolerate a broad range of experiences and continue to thrive.
And then something I ALWAYS teach the parents I work with. Imagine you are building a wall of self-esteem for your child. With each kind word and positive input, you add a stone to strengthen the wall. The world is pulling stones out as fast as it can. Our job is to build them up faster. There is no limit on how much you can build your child up through love and encouragement.
Motherhood is the hardest, most wonderful, beautiful, painful job you’ll ever have the pleasure of doing! Keep doing amazing!

SESSION Brittany Grignon Hays
Scaling Strength: How Brittany Grignon Hays Built a Cult Fitness Brand Beyond the Workout.
Meet the Woman Behind the ObSESSION — In the dynamic fitness scene of North Texas, the name SESSION Pilates carries a distinct energy and commitment to purposeful movement, all stemming from the vision of its founder, Brittany Grignon Hays.
What began in 2016 as a single studio driven by a desire to connect mind and body through Pilates has flourished into a thriving community, now spanning six locations across the region and celebrating its recent expansion into Nashville with the opening of its seventh studio in April 2025. Hays’ journey is more than just a tale of business growth; it’s a powerful narrative about fostering authentic connection, honoring the intelligence of the body, and empowering individuals through the transformative practice of reformer Pilates.
For Brittany Grignon Hays, Pilates wasn’t just another fitness trend; it was a profound discovery. Seeking a deeper connection to her body and a more sustainable approach to wellness, she found in reformer Pilates a unique synergy of strength, flexibility, and mindful engagement. This personal experience ignited a passion to share its transformative power with others. As Hays explains, SESSION Pilates offers “a full mind-body experience to get you out of your head and connected to movement.” This philosophy is woven into the very fabric of the SESSION method.
In 2016, Hays took the entrepreneurial plunge, opening the doors to the first SESSION Pilates studio in Uptown Dallas. Her vision was clear: to cultivate an inclusive and energizing space where individuals could escape the distractions of daily life and truly connect with their bodies
through focused movement. The name “SESSION” itself embodies this intention – each class is a dedicated time for self-inquiry and the cultivation of inner strength through movement.
What distinguishes SESSION Pilates is its dynamic, music-driven method and unwavering emphasis on precise, effective movement. “Our musicdriven method focuses on quick transitions that keep you moving from one exercise to the next, minimizing time wasted and keeping you in sync and focused on the workout,” Hays explains. This rhythmic approach not only elevates the energy of the class but also encourages a deeper engagement with the exercises. Furthermore, precision and alignment are paramount. Instructors guide clients to move with intention, ensuring each movement is executed with proper form to maximize results and minimize the risk of injury. As Hays aptly puts it, “When you work an oblique, you feel the oblique.”
The choice of equipment also plays a crucial role in the SESSION experience. Hays strategically utilizes the Allegro 2 reformer, recognizing it as “the ideal equipment to support our athletic, rhythmic-based approach to Reformer Pilates.” Its versatility allows for a wide range of exercises and modifications, catering to various fitness levels and goals.
This commitment to a dynamic, effective, and accessible approach has resonated deeply within the North Texas community. Women, in particular, have gravitated towards SESSION Pilates seeking a workout that not only strengthens and tones but also fosters a deeper sense of body awareness and mental clarity. From busy professionals seeking a mindful escape to athletes looking
to enhance their performance and individuals new to Pilates, SESSION has become a welcoming and effective fitness destination. Importantly, Hays emphasizes that “Pilates is Accessible for everyone,” and this ethos is reflected in the diverse clientele and the adaptable nature of the classes.
The growth of SESSION Pilates across North Texas has been a testament to its strong community and the tangible results clients experience. Hays’ leadership, characterized by a genuine passion for Pilates and a supportive approach to her team, has fostered a loyal following. She understands that for many, the studio is more than just a place to exercise; it’s a source of stress relief, a space for personal growth, and a community of like-minded individuals.
Looking forward, the much-anticipated expansion into Nashville in 2025 marks an exciting new chapter for SESSION Pilates. This move is driven by the same core values that have fueled its success in Texas: a commitment to providing a high-quality, results-driven Pilates experience in a welcoming and inclusive environment, fueled by empowered leadership from within.
As SESSION Pilates marches towards its 10th anniversary in 2026, this expansion into Nashville is just the beginning of an exhilarating new phase. This “obSESSION” is far from a fleeting trend; it’s a testament to the enduring power of connection, and a vibrant journey that’s just getting started.
For Hays and the SESSION community, it’s about more than just fitness; it’s about finding your rhythm, both on and off the reformer.

How Facials Can Enhance Your Overall Welness Routine
INTRODUCTION TO FACIALS AND WELLNESS
Facials are more than just a luxury; they’re a key piece of the wellness puzzle. Imagine a facial as a multi-tool for your skin’s health— cleansing, hydrating, and revitalizing all at once. The goal? To make your skin look and feel its best. But facials go beyond skin deep. They can be a form of stress relief, offering relaxation that lowers stress levels, which in turn can reduce inflammation and improve your overall well-being. During a facial, your skin gets a deep clean, unclogging pores and allowing your skin to breathe better. Plus, the massage parts of a facial boost blood circulation, helping your skin heal and look more vibrant. At its core, incorporating regular facials into your wellness routine is like giving your skin a gym membership. And just like any workout, the benefits add up over time, making your skin stronger, more resilient, and healthier.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF FACIALS FOR OVERALL HEALTH
Facials aren’t just about pampering yourself. They’re a key part of keeping your skin healthy. Let’s break down a few popular types. Classic facials clean and hydrate your skin, making it bright and fresh. If you’re looking for a detox, clay facials pull out impurities, clearing your pores. For those battling aging signs, anti-aging facials use products and techniques designed to reduce wrinkles, making your skin look younger. Acne-prone? Acne facials target pimples, reduce redness, and can help prevent future breakouts. And for a real glow-up, brightening facials work wonders in evening out skin tone and adding that radiant glow. No matter your skin type, there’s a facial out there that fits into your wellness routine, keeping not just your skin, but also your spirit rejuvenated.
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF INCLUDING FACIALS IN YOUR ROUTINE
Including facials in your wellness routine is not just about pampering yourself or keeping your skin glowing. It’s a powerful way to boost your mental health. Think of a facial as a form of relaxation and meditation. It reduces stress and anxiety, making you feel peaceful and rejuvenated. During a facial, your mind gets a break from the daily hustle. This pause reduces cortisol, the stress hormone, leading to a calmer state of mind. Additionally, the simple act of taking time out for yourself can significantly improve your self-esteem and confidence. Feeling good about how you look often translates into a more positive outlook on life. Regular facials also improve sleep quality, thanks to the relaxation and stress relief they provide. Better sleep means more energy and a sharper mind. So, adding facials into your routine is a way to care for both your mental and physical health.
HOW FACIALS IMPROVE SKIN HEALTH
Facials go beyond just feeling luxurious; they’re like a gym workout for your skin. By boosting circulation, they optimize skin health, making your face appear more alive and youthful. Think of a facial as a multistep skin treatment that cleanses deeply, exfoliates away dead skin cells, and nourishes the complexion. This process helps to clear clogged pores, speed up the removal of toxins, and improve the effectiveness of skin care products by allowing deeper penetration. Regular facials also encourage the turnover of skin cells, leading to smoother, healthier skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and age spots. Whether dealing with acne, dry skin, or sun damage, facials can be tailored to address your specific needs, making them a worthwhile addition to your wellness routine.
DETOXIFICATION AND CIRCULATION: THE HIDDEN ADVANTAGES OF FACIALS
Facials do more than make you look good; they play a crucial role in your body’s detox process. Think of your skin like a big, busy city. Every day, it deals with pollution, stress, and toxins, much like a city handles waste and traffic. Facials help in clearing out the clutter. They boost your skin’s ability to get rid of these toxins. This is vital because a clean skin surface means fewer breakouts and a brighter complexion. Now, let’s talk about circulation. Good blood flow is like having smooth roads in our city analogy. It ensures nutrients and oxygen move freely, making your skin look alive and fresh. A facial massage, a common part of any facial treatment, gets the blood moving. This means your skin cells get the oxygen and nutrients they need much faster. Plus, it helps in flushing out waste from your cells. Better circulation also means better skin elasticity, keeping your face looking firm and youthful. So, detoxification and circulation are not just fancy words—they are your allies in keeping your skin healthy and glowing, thanks to facials.
INCORPORATING FACIALS INTO YOUR EXISTING WELLNESS ROUTINE
Bringing facials into your wellness routine is a smart move. Think of it as giving your skin a regular tune-up at the spa. Just like you might hit the gym for your physical health or meditate for your mental peace, facials cater to the health and well-being of your skin. Start by fitting in a facial every four to six weeks. This timeline matches your skin’s natural renewal cycle, helping to keep it clear, well-hydrated, and glowing. Facials aren’t just about getting pampered; they offer a ton of benefits like unclogging pores, removing dead skin cells, and improving
Real Relief: How Harmonia Helps with Menopause
By: IsagenixHealth.net
Menopause brings a wave of physical and emotional changes, but finding relief shouldn’t feel overwhelming. We’ve created Harmonia to support women through this transition with a science-backed solution to help ease hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and other bothersome symptoms.
This article explains what causes menopausal symptoms and how Harmonia works to provide natural, hormone-free relief so women can feel empowered to embrace this new chapter with confidence and comfort.
WHY DO MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS HAPPEN?
Menopause is when menstrual cycles stop, marking the end of fertility and menstrual periods.
Throughout a woman’s reproductive years, the two hormones that drive the menstrual cycle-–estrogen and progesterone—rise and fall in a typical, monthly rhythm. After decades of this cycle, the body becomes accustomed to these hormones as a foundation for equilibrium.
When the menopause transition begins, this cycle gradually slows during a period known as perimenopause, before eventually stopping. As a result, the body’s production of estrogen and progesterone decreases significantly. Estrogen and progesterone receptors are located throughout the body, and they can be quite sensitive to the sudden absence of these hormones, disrupting the body’s sense of balance.
This hormonal decline triggers a wide range of physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms as tissues with hormone receptors struggle to adapt. For example, the hypothalamus—an area of the brain that regulates body temperature—is sensitive to estrogen’s absence, causing hot flashes and night sweats. Estrogen also affects neurotransmitters that regulate mood like serotonin and dopamine, leading to menopausal mood swings and irritability.
Hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes are among the most common symptoms of menopause. Still, many are possible, including sleep disturbances, fatigue, vaginal dryness, joint pain, weight gain, memory issues, hair thinning, and changes in libido.
WHAT IS HARMONIA?
Harmonia is a daily, hormone-free dietary supplement carefully formulated with natural, patented bioactive ingredients. Harmonia is designed for multi-symptom relief, directly targeting menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, sleeplessness, mood swings, stress, and vaginal discomfort.
HOW DOES HARMONIA WORK TO EASE SYMPTOMS OF MENOPAUSE?
While many forms of menopause relief involve replacing the naturally declining hormones during this life stage, Harmonia is completely hormone-free, meaning it does not contain any hormones, hormone-like compounds, or other substances intended to mimic the effect of hormones in the body. Instead, Harmonia’s clinically proven, patented ingredients use botanical mechanisms to target the source of the symptom itself. Here’s what’s inside:
ESTROG-100®
EstroG-100 is a standardized extract of three herbs long used in Traditional Chinese and Korean medicine: Cynanchum wilfordii (Silk plant), Phlomis umbrosa (Fireweed), and Angelica gigas (Red angelica). Clinical studies have shown that EstroG-100 helps alleviate menopausal symptoms and improve quality of life without causing adverse effects or altering estrogen or other hormone levels. Additionally, EstroG-100 has demonstrated benefits for bone health, a key concern for women during menopause.
SAFFSERENE™
SaffSerene is a standardized extract of saffron (Crocus sativus L.), renowned as the world’s most expensive spice. Its key
bioactive compounds—safranal, crocin, and picrocrocin—support mood balance, mental well-being, and stress response, making it beneficial for managing menopausal symptoms.
PROBIOTICS
Harmonia also features two of the world’s most scientifically studied probiotic strains: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1® and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14®, which support vaginal health by promoting beneficial bacteria, inhibiting harmful bacteria, and maintaining optimal pH. These probiotics have been featured in over 100 scientific publications.
REAL RESULTS
While Harmonia’s ingredients are backed by strong clinical evidence, we conducted an internal study to evaluate the effectiveness of the complete formula. In a 90-day trial with 15 menopausal women using Harmonia, without hormone therapy or major lifestyle changes, participants reported significant symptom relief:
• 93% experienced fewer hot flashes and night sweats
• 87% noticed improved sleep quality
• 86% felt better equipped to manage stress
• 83% experienced improved mood and reduced irritability
• 71% reported enhanced sexual health
Individual results may vary, but this study underscores Harmonia’s potential to provide comprehensive, hormone-free menopause relief.
FIND
YOUR BALANCE WITH HARMONIA
Menopause may bring challenges, but with Harmonia, relief is within reach. Using natural, clinically proven ingredients, Harmonia offers a safe, hormone-free way to ease symptoms and enhance well-being. Embrace this new chapter with confidence, comfort, and grace— because every woman deserves to feel her best at every stage of life.
Exploring Treatment Options For Women Recognizing low Testosterone Symptoms
When we think about sex hormones, we usually associate testosterone with men and estrogen with women. However, both biological sexes possess testosterone and estrogen in the required amounts to function to the fullest. While women naturally produce lower levels of testosterone than men, this hormone is still important in controlling energy, mood, libido, and body fat.
Lack of sperm production, enlarged breast tissue (gynecomastia), and prostate cancer in extreme cases are the results of low testosterone levels in men. Similarly, women with low T experience fatigue, decreased sex drive, mood swings, and reduced muscle strength. If these symptoms of low testosterone are not treated at the earliest, they can significantly affect the quality of life and overall well-being.
There are several reasons why one’s testosterone levels might take a dip. Here are some of the causes of low testosterone:
• Problems with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus
• Usage of drugs like opioids
• Infections such as mumps
• Genetic abnormalities like Klinefelter syndrome
• Damage to the testicles (in men)
Fortunately, with research breakthroughs in recent times, healthcare providers are now turning to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as a potential solution to combat these symptoms.
Let’s now dive deep and explore the following in this article:
• Role of testosterone in women’s health
• Symptoms of low testosterone
• Benefits and types of testosterone replacement therapy
• Side effects and safety concerns
• Tips to add testosterone therapy to your practice
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF TESTOSTERONE IN WOMEN’S HEALTH? Just as testosterone and other androgens play an important role in men’s health and sexuality, they are equally important for women, too.
As women age and are subjected to stress and certain health conditions like adrenal fatigue or thyroid problems, testosterone production starts dwindling.
Testosterone levels naturally start to decline after the age of 30 and drop even more during menopause. Stress can also lower testosterone by disrupting the body’s normal hormone balance. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause testosterone levels to either decrease or increase, leading to an imbalance.
Here’s where women should keep their hormones balanced, since it’s key to feeling good overall. The right amount of testosterone will fight off tiredness, keep mood steady, promote a healthy sex drive, and maintain bone mass. What’s more, it also helps regulate type 2 diabetes, keep a lean muscle mass, and produce healthy red blood cells, which can aid with metabolism and weight loss.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE IN WOMEN Most often, these symptoms of low levels of testosterone in women are easily missed since they are similar to the symptoms of natural aging and other health conditions:
• Fatigue and mood changes
• Cognitive issues
• Trouble sleeping (sleep apnea)
• Anemia
• Decreased bone density (leading to osteoporosis)
• Obesity
• Low sex drive
• Hot flash
• Changes in the menstrual cycle and infertility
If these symptoms of testosterone deficiency are not treated, they can significantly impact women’s quality of life, strain personal relationships, and affect self-esteem.
If you’re experiencing a combination of these symptoms, discuss them with your healthcare provider or consult an endocrinologist/urologist. They’d run a blood test to assess your medical condition and explore treatment options, including testosterone replacement therapy if appropriate.
THE BENEFITS OF TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR WOMEN The clinically recognized optimal level of testosterone in women is 15–70 nanograms per deciliter (ng/ dL). When this mark takes a dip, women suffer from hypogonadism. However, this condition can be rectified through

testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and it alleviates many of the issues caused by signs of low testosterone. Here are some of the benefits of TRT:
• Improvement in sexual health. TRT can help bring back your sexual desire and improve sexual function for both men and women. It tackles problems like erectile dysfunction and low arousal, allowing you to enjoy a more fulfilling intimate life.
• Boosting energy levels. When your testosterone levels are balanced with TRT, you’ll feel a noticeable boost in energy and stamina. So you can enjoy the things you once did tirelessly—be it hitting the gym, spending time with your loved ones, or just going about your routine.
• Enhancing mental clarity. With testosterone treatment, your cognitive function will sharpen, making it simpler to focus on tasks at hand. You’ll feel less anxious and stop being overly tense about your responsibilities.
Clinical studies have also demonstrated the effectiveness of TRT in women when properly administered and monitored. A study by NCBI.gov involving 533 women found that testosterone increased the satisfaction rate of sexual activity and improved libido compared to a placebo.
TYPES OF TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY AVAILABLE For treating low testosterone symptoms, TRT can be administered in any of the following ways:
• Supplementation
• Creams
• Gels
• Patches
• Pellets
Each of these comes with its advantages and considerations. However, pellet therapy is gaining popularity these days as a long-lasting and consistent method for delivering testosterone.
In this approach, pellets that are as small as a grain of rice are inserted into the hip or the buttock. They gradually release testosterone into the bloodstream over several months. So, once the procedure is done, you can go about your daily tasks and let the pellets work their way through for the designated period of three to four months. You don’t have to worry about daily applications or the risk of accidental exposure to others, as in the case of other methods like creams, gels, and patches.
Senior Women’s Health
Tips for Living Your Healthiest Years
Olderwomen are more likely than men to have chronic, or ongoing, health conditions, such as arthritis, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis. Women are also more likely to develop multiple health problems, according to a recent report from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Older women are also more likely to have memory or other “cognitive” problems, and difficulty carrying out daily activities such as dressing, walking, or bathing without help.
Fortunately, there’s a lot you can do to increase your chances of staying mentally and physically healthy as you age. Here’s what the experts with the American Geriatrics Society’s Health in Aging Foundation recommend.
TIPS FOR OLDER WOMEN: See your healthcare provider regularly. Even if you feel perfectly healthy, you should see your provider at least once a year for a checkup.
Eat a rainbow - Later in life, you will still need healthy foods but fewer calories. Your healthcare provider and the USDA’s updated Choose My Plate for Older Adults can help you make good choices. You can also get a personal nutrition plan at the USDA website. Experts recommend eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily, but less than a third of older adults do this. Don’t miss out. Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables. Go for deep colors: dark green, bright yellow, and orange choices like spinach, collard greens, carrots, oranges, and cantaloupe are extra nutritious. Choose fiber-rich whole grain bread, rice, and pasta instead of the white stuff. Pick less fatty meat, like chicken, low-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt. Shoot for heart-healthy fish, like tuna
or salmon, twice a week. To help keep your bones strong, include calcium and Vitamin D sources—two daily servings of milk, yogurt, or cheese are a good bet—in your diet. And use healthier fats, such as olive and canola oils, instead of butter or lard.
Take medications, vitamins, and supplements only as directed - When you visit your provider, bring all of the pills you take, including medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements, even those you buy without a prescription. Your provider should check all of your pills to make sure they are safe for you to take. Always check with your provider before taking any new pills. Take all medicines and other pills as directed, and tell your provider right away if a medication or other pill seems to be causing any problems or side effects.
Get screened - Certain screening tests can help diagnose health problems early. Ask your healthcare provider which tests are right for you.
Screenings for colorectal cancer - Geriatric experts do not recommend screening for colorectal cancer without first considering life expectancy. Studies have shown that the short-term risks may not be worth the benefits if life expectancy is under 10 years. You should talk to your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
Diabetes check - At least once; if you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol levels, or diabetes runs in your family, get checked every three years.
Cholesterol test for high blood cholesterol levels - Cholesterol screening should be
done after consulting with your physician. Screening frequency depends on your age and general health.
Blood pressure check - At least once a year. Bone health evaluation - Medicare pays for a screening test for osteoporosis every 2 years. Consult your healthcare provider to evaluate your risk for osteoporosis and their recommendations for screening and therapy.
Depression screening - If you feel down, sad, or hopeless for two or more weeks, or have little interest in or get little pleasure from things you once enjoyed, you may be depressed. Don’t try to “tough it out.”
Untreated depression is bad for your mental and physical health. Talk to your healthcare provider and get the treatment you need.
Hearing and vision screening - Every year.
Dental check-up - As often as your dentist recommends, and at least once a year. Your dentist should clean your teeth and check for cavities. If you wear dentures, they should be checked to make sure they still fit properly. Your dentist should also check for signs of diseases of the mouth, including cancer.
Screening for diseases that you can get during sex - If you are sexually active but not in a monogamous relationship, these screenings are important at any age. Talk with your healthcare provider about this and how to practice safe sex.
Get vaccinated - Check with your healthcare provider to make sure you’re getting:
A flu shot - Every year in late summer or early fall, before the flu season starts. Two pneumonia vaccinations are also

The 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, renowned for hosting one of the strongest fields in women’s golf, is expected to feature multiple past champions in the 156-player field. The Championship will be the first women’s Major Championship to be played on Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco, the Home of the PGA of America and Omni PGA Frisco Resort . The Championship will be contested June 19-22, 2025.
World No. 1 and 2021 champion Nelly Korda is anticipated to compete in the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, joining a distinguished field of former champions. Other past champions expected to participate include Amy Yang (2024), Ruoning Yin (2023), and In Gee Chun (2022), as well as five other former champions. Yang, the defending champion, secured her first major title in her 75th Major start with a three-shot victory at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington.
“We are proud to welcome our past champions to Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco for the first time at the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship,” said Championship Director Jason Mengel. “These individuals hold a special place in the history of the Championship, the LPGA, and the PGA of America, and we look forward to watching them compete for another title alongside one of the strongest fields in women’s golf this June.”
Korda is a two-time Major winner, with her first coming at the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Korda ascended to the top spot in the rankings for the first time following her Major title at Atlanta Athletic Club in 2021. Now a 15-time winner on the LPGA Tour, Korda is aiming to earn her second career win in the Lone Star State (2024 Chevron Championship).
Two years ago, Yin became the second Chinese player to win a Major after securing the 2023 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship with a one-stroke win at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey. The former world No. 1 has five career wins and 17 top ten finishes since turning pro in 2022.
At 18 years old, 2016 Champion Henderson outlasted Lydia Ko in a playoff to become the youngest player to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. It was her first Major title, making her the first Canadian woman to win a Major in nearly 50 years.
Official player commitments and the full field will be announced at a later date. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP, VISIT KPMGWOMENSPGACHAMPIONSHIP.COM
