What’s the buzz about Dienogest (Visanne)? Let’s break it down. Dienogest is a progestin, a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone. It’s been making headlines for its use in managing endometriosis, a condition affecting 1 in 7 individuals in Australia. But is it truly groundbreaking? Here’s what you need to know: ✅ It’s not new—Dienogest has been around for years as part of other contraceptives. ✅ It works by reducing endometrial tissue growth, helping alleviate pain. ✅ It’s now subsidized under PBS, making it more accessible for many Australians. But here’s the catch—it’s not a cure. Like all hormonal treatments, it comes with side effects such as mood changes, weight gain, and more. Managing endometriosis requires a comprehensive approach, including physical therapy, dietary changes, and sometimes surgery. Want more clarity? Book a telehealth appointment through the CHARLI Health app with one of our health professionals to discuss this further.

Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed—it’s a natural, physical response your body has to perceived threats. It triggers the “fight or flight” response, preparing you to take action, but when this response is triggered too often or for no clear reason, it can become overwhelming and impact daily life. Recognising anxiety is the first step in managing it. It's important to understand that it’s not just “in your head”—your body experiences physical symptoms like a racing heart, tension, and shallow breathing. Identifying these can help you feel more in control. The good news? Anxiety is manageable. With tools like breathing exercises, mindfulness, and professional support, you can take steps to reduce its impact. Understanding your anxiety can lead to more effective strategies and a calmer, more balanced mind. You are not alone in this journey—take the time to learn more about what you’re feeling and how to navigate it. Check out the article on Anxiety written by health professionals in the LEARN section on the CHARLI Health app. 💜

Did you know that regular exercise doesn’t just keep you fit—it also strengthens your bones? 🦴 As we age, maintaining bone density becomes essential to safeguard against osteoporosis and reduce the risk of fractures. Exercise strengthens bones through a process called bone remodelling. When you engage in weight-bearing or resistance exercises, your bones experience stress. This stress stimulates bone-forming cells called osteoblasts, which help build and strengthen bone tissue. Here's how it works: ✔️ Weight-Bearing Exercises: Activities like walking, jogging, or dancing force your body to work against gravity, putting stress on your bones and encouraging them to grow denser. ✔️ Resistance Training: Lifting weights or using resistance bands applies direct force to your bones, promoting bone growth and maintaining strength. ✔️ Balance and Flexibility Workouts: Exercises like yoga or tai chi improve coordination and reduce the risk of falls, which is critical for protecting your bones as you age. These activities stimulate your bones to adapt, becoming stronger and denser to handle the increased workload, making them less prone to fractures and osteoporosis. The CHARLI Health app is full of information to support your health. Check out the LEARN feature to get the most out of 2025!
