As part of our You and Your Brain webinar series, a collaboration between HealthyWomen, Prevention & Women's Alzheimer's Movement at Cleveland Clinic, we're going to explore the “Truth About Sleep.” We all know quality sleep is essential for overall health, affecting both our physical and mental functioning. To put it simply, without enough sleep, the brain cannot function properly, with sleep deficiency linked to many chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, dementia and Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, most adults — especially women from midlife on — experience difficulty sleeping at some point in their lives, and for many, sleep quality can get worse with age. Learn from leading experts about the benefits of good sleep hygiene, the practices that make for a good night's sleep, and practical advice and solutions you can use right now to master better sleep hygiene.

Have you considered the true cost of healthcare for women, especially in the face of widowhood? Forbes reports that women pay nearly $15 billion more than men in health costs. In this episode of Financially Ever After, host Stacy Francis is joined by Beth Battaglino, the CEO of Healthy Women, and Deb Gordon, the co-founder of Umbra Health Advocacy. Together, they discuss the significant challenges widows face in healthcare, including hidden and unexpected expenses that can cause severe financial strain. Financial education and proactivity is crucial, along with support from caring experts and advocates, so that you can empower yourself with physical and financial health.  The widowhood effect highlights the increased risk of mortality and prolonged illnesses that women face after losing a spouse, emphasizing the importance of healthcare and preventative care. Women pay much more for healthcare than men, with women paying more out of pocket due to differences in utilization patterns and services needed. It is crucial to seek help and ask for assistance in navigating healthcare costs and bills, and take full advantage of the resources available to help reduce financial burdens and provide support. You can make informed decisions about your healthcare and ensure you are adequately covered if you understand health insurance coverage and benefits. There are numerous experts and advocates who will stand by your side. Utilizing healthcare flex spending accounts and health savings accounts can help women save money on healthcare expenses and plan for future medical needs. Hiring patient advocates or utilizing the services of organizations like the Alliance of Professional Health Advocates can provide expert assistance in managing medical bills and navigating the healthcare system.

In this episode, Dr. Danielle answers a question about why healthy women in their early 30s choose to freeze their eggs. She discusses the trend of delaying parenthood and the availability of IVF as contributing factors. The influence of social media and the openness of women sharing their fertility journeys also play a role. Dr. Danielle explains that women freeze their eggs as an insurance policy or backup plan for future family planning. She emphasizes that egg freezing is not a guarantee of pregnancy and discusses the number of eggs needed for a higher chance of success. Dr. Danielle highlights the decline in fertility with age and the benefits of using younger, healthier eggs through egg freezing. She concludes by recommending egg quality support before undergoing the process. Takeaways More women are choosing to delay parenthood and freeze their eggs as an insurance policy for future family planning. Egg freezing is not a guarantee of pregnancy, and the number of eggs needed for a higher chance of success should be discussed with a doctor. Fertility declines with age, and egg quality can become compromised, making egg freezing a way to use younger, healthier eggs later in life. Prioritizing egg quality support before egg freezing can improve the chances of success.

We've got a question for you: when was the last time you discussed contraceptive with your dr? How about the last time you discussed it with your great girlfriends?Well, today we're getting into all of that with our expert doctor and leading researcher Dr. Allison-Ottey. We've partnered with Healthy Women to help you understand what you need to know to choose the right contraceptive with your doctor's help AND questions you must ask to get the answers you need.Here's some quick data from the recent study done in conjunction with Sebela Women's Health: * Of the patients surveyed, 60% reported they prefer hormone-free birth control, and while 64% of HCPs believe their patients prefer hormone-free birth control, most (59%) recommend hormonal methods. * Effectiveness was the most important factor in choosing a contraceptive for 91% of patients surveyed; however, only 26% were aware that intrauterine devices (IUDs) are more effective than widely used oral contraceptives and condoms. Other important factors when choosing a contraceptive included ease of use, comfort, side effects and cost. * While nearly half of women prefer to have a regular menstrual cycle or period (49%), only 37% desire no period. Those who prefer a period do so because “having a regular period makes me feel like my body is doing what it should be doing” (78%) and regular periods also provide a “peace of mind that I'm probably not pregnant (51%).” You can read more results from the study here.About Dr. Allison-Ottey Sharon Denise Allison-Ottey, MD is an energetic and engaging speaker, author, health educator/physician and health strategist/consultant.
