Gallbladder Disease in Midlife: Why I’m Seeing It More — and What Women Should Know
Gallbladder disease is increasingly common in midlife women, often showing subtle symptoms like bloating, nausea, or digestive discomfort. Hormonal shifts, metabolic changes, and rapid weight loss can all increase risk. Early awareness and system-focused support can help protect the gallbladder and overall health during this sensitive life stage.
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD)
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) affects many women, often quietly. It’s a persistent drop in sexual desire that causes distress—but it’s not a flaw, a relationship failure, or “just aging.” HSDD reflects shifts in hormones, stress, and brain chemistry, and it’s treatable. Understanding the signs and seeking support can help women reconnect with their desire and sexual wellbeing.
