When we think of caregiving, we often think about elderly people in nursing homes, or young children in daycares. But the truth is that most caregiving is unpaid–completed in our own homes. In this article, we’ll examine the connection between caregiving and mental health, the stress and pressure caregivers face, and how we can better […]
Awareness campaigns can be powerful, no doubt. But as October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, gets underway, we recognize that we need more. We need access to scientific data on breast health; to build up our clinical literacy, and to become our own best advocates. The Clinical Realities of Breast Health Breast health covers a range
If you’re in perimenopause, you may have noticed changes to your mood. Perhaps you’ve felt a little “off,” or noticed that you become annoyed by little things that never used to bother you.

Summary of Obeagu, E.I. (2025), “Stress-induced hemostasis: mechanisms and implications for health,” Annals of Medicine and Surgery As a family physician who focuses on women’s health, I found this review to be a useful reminder that “stress” isn’t just a trigger word that we log and move past.

Red or Blue. Left or Right. Listening to the news these days feels like American life exists in a binary. Even public health—a discipline designed to keep populations thriving—is politicized. But here is the truth: Science doesn’t have a political party. On a recent episode of our Love, Mia Vita podcast, we chatted with public
For too long, women have walked into medical appointments only to leave feeling unheard. Fatigue? “Part of aging.” Pain during intimacy? “Normal after menopause.” Brain fog, anxiety, sleepless nights, low libido? “Just hormones.” This is exactly why finding an authentic, science-backed women’s health podcast matters now more than ever. At FemmePharma, our mission has always

In our social media “digital waiting rooms,” the challenge isn’t finding information—it’s finding up-to-date, science-backed information. We believe women’s health clinical literacy is our ultimate tool for self-advocacy. Between wellness hacks and an increase in “AI slop”—low-quality content that doesn’t rely on clinical accuracy—we find ourselves in a land of information chaos. When you’re going
For a long time, most exercise science focused on men. Training programs and recovery plans were made for male bodies, and women were expected to use the same approach. Now, things are changing. New research shows what many women already knew: our bodies react differently to training than men’s bodies do. Hormonal changes during the
In midlife, our bodies are changing again. Cycles shift. Symptoms surprise us. Perimenopause can feel unpredictable, and many women turn to health apps to track patterns, moods, sleep, libido, and bleeding. But here’s the question we don’t ask often enough: Where does that data go? Reproductive health data is some of the most intimate information
