Earlier this week, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Leslie Carol Botha on her radio show, Holy Hormones Honey, the Greatest Story Never Told, KRFC FM Fort Collins. We spent an hour discussing everything from pregnancy – postpartum mental health and the state of hormone research to women in clinical trials and vaccine safety. We even talked politics, just a bit.

Front and center was the need for more research and data in all areas of women’s health and the Hormone’s Matter^TM solution, a series of crowdsourced studies under the Real Women, Real Data^TM, program. Currently, we have three studies underway with many more planned.

The Oral Contraceptives Survey
The Hysterectomy Survey
The Gardasil -Cervarix HPV Vaccine Survey
The Lupron Survey (launching soon)
The Ablation Survey (launching soon)

In the end, we decided, that we needed to found the Hormones Matter^TM University or HMU. Seems like a good idea to me, what do you think?

I had a blast talking about women’s health and hormones and look forward to doing it again. If you want to know why I do, what I do or just want to learn a little bit more about me and why hormones matter in health, have a listen.

We Cannot Manage What We Do Not Measure

Pay attention to the whimper or be forced to cry uncle. Those are your choices. Those were the choices that faced the nation ten and twenty years ago as naysayers to the economic policies certain to bankrupt our country became evident, but they were ignored or lambasted as fringe. The collective wisdom forged forward with derivatives, with the merging of investment and saving banks, against the whimpers of many, only to cry uncle in 2008 as the catastrophe loomed.

As the ‘other 99%’ seek to realign our political and economic situations, women must lead the changes in the health industry. We must pay attention to the whimpers, to the evidence that something is off, and more importantly, we must take heed before uncle is cried. How do we do that within such a flawed system of industrialized, profit-based medicine? Education, measurement, transparency and responsibility.

Education. The number one factor contributing to health is education. The more educated women (and men) are the better health they experience. Why? Better decision-making. Although there are clear associations between income and health, the association between education and health is stronger.

Education allows one to navigate the morass of medical marketing, cut to the truth, and identify the untruth in advertising. Education permits women the confidence to seek alternate directions in health and not simply take what is prescribed to them as gospel. Quite simply, education permits responsibility in health choices. It doesn’t necessarily lead to taking responsibility or making the right choices; we’ve all seen really smart, highly educated people do really stupid things. Rather, education creates the environment where those choices can be made.
