  • Functional medicine provider Dr. Austin Lake of Tulsa, Oklahoma, breaks down several women's health issues that he hopes the burgeoning MAHA movement will address.

The article from MSN highlights four critical women's health issues that have been historically overlooked, as discussed by Dr. Jessica Shepherd. Firstly, menopause is often not adequately addressed, with many women suffering from symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings without proper medical guidance or treatment options. Secondly, sexual health remains a taboo subject, leading to insufficient education and care regarding sexual dysfunction, pain during intercourse, and overall sexual wellness. Thirdly, mental health, particularly conditions like postpartum depression, anxiety, and the impact of hormonal changes, are frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated in women. Lastly, chronic pain conditions such as endometriosis and fibromyalgia are often dismissed or misdiagnosed, resulting in prolonged suffering and delayed treatment. Dr. Shepherd emphasizes the need for increased awareness, research, and tailored medical approaches to address these neglected areas of women's health.
