„Oh, I thought PMS was just a different name for a period!” I heard a man say yesterday in a park and I flinched… In the realm of healthcare research, an unsettling truth persists: women's health issues, particularly those related to menstruation often find themselves on the sidelines, while conditions predominantly affecting men, take center stage. This discrepancy not only reflects an oversight but perpetuates a systemic neglect of women's well-being. Why? Women’s health issues have historically been overlooked, leading to a lack of funding and research. Women are underrepresented in clinical trials, hindering our understanding of how treatments affect them. The most significant issue is stigma around menstruation and societal attitudes towards women's pain which result in dismissive healthcare responses. We need increased funding and prioritization of research into women's health issues. Greater representation of women in clinical trials and leadership roles is essential for equitable healthcare. Let's challenge biases and amplify voices advocating for women's health. Just like Hanna Walker, a Personal Trainer at Eton Fitness.

When it came time to determine which category we wanted to invest additional time and resources into as an agency, as a team of over 70% female-identifying creatives, women's health was a no brainer for LevLane. We've had the privilege of collaborating with amazing businesses and individuals in the women's health sector, and this has only fueled our commitment to educating and empowering women about their healthcare options. As Elizabeth Weir highlights, there isn't enough research being invested in these vital areas – and we're determined to change that. #WomensHealth #WomensHealthMatters #WomensAdvocacy

This International Women’s Day, let’s step beyond these barriers, and inspire each other to build a supportive and equitable healthcare system for women. Everyone must play a role in encouraging every woman we know to take care of herself! Together, we can change the facts about women's health. #XProject #InspireInclusion#TogetherforChange#FreedomtoBe

What outstanding insight and info shared on this wonderful panel!
I feel so energized after spending three fantastic days in Austin at the SHE Media Co-Lab Whole Life Health event. It was a truly enriching experience to meet and exchange ideas with so many incredible women who, like me, are deeply passionate about empowering and supporting women through every stage of their journey. Sharing the stage with Jessica Shepherd, MD, MBA, FACOG, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and Antonietta Vicario to talk about "Muscles & Movement: How to Optimize for Longevity" was particularly inspiring. We underscored the importance of ongoing dialogue about women's health, highlighting that such conversations are essential for ensuring women of all ages have access to the healthcare they rightfully deserve. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and participated in our session! #WomenEmpowerment #WomensHealth
