With May being Women’s Health Month, Dr. Joe Pazona and co-host Cat Williams have shared their top women’s health tips that every woman should know on a new episode of the Balls Deep podcast. These tips are straightforward and will help make you feel sexier and more confident, and take control of your health, even if you feel like you are always busy with work, kids, or other responsibilities. Here are 10 women’s health tips that actually work:
1. Prioritize Protein
Metabolism, muscle, and minimizing wrinkles are all impacted by protein. We naturally lose muscle as we age, specifically around 10% per decade after you hit 40. Dr. Pazona suggests that every meal should start with protein, followed by healthy fats and carbs. Without enough protein you become prone to fragile bones, falls, and losing that collagen glow.
2. Yes, There’s a Pink Pill for Libido
Have you heard of Addyi? This medication, deemed the “Viagra for women,” is long overdue. Don’t know what to do with hanging libido? Consider talking to an expert. Addyi is safe, effective, and will undoubtedly bring a lot of life to the bedroom.
3. Ozempic, Wegovy & GLP-1s
GLP-1 medications have revolutionized weight loss. Ozempic and Wegovy are game changers, not shortcuts; still, they are incredibly beneficial for those feeling stuck. If used responsibly with healthy habits, these medications will lift you like no other. Add Pazona MD's care strategies and lose that stubborn weight.
4.Check Your Hormones
Gaining weight, losing hair, and feeling tired all the time can be a sign of a hormonal issue. It’s not rocket science; hormonal imbalances and thyroid dysfunction are a lot more common than people think around their 30s, 40s, and beyond. Get your levels evaluated and find a doctor who actually understands hormones.
5. Schedule “Me Time”
Women are perceived to be great at multitasking, but with their caretaking abilities, they often forget to prioritize themselves. As the saying goes, “you cannot pour from an empty cup.” Stop feeling bad for carving out time to take care of yourself: sleep, move your body, eat, foster mental wellness, or even enjoy moments of silence. Calm your mind and body in silence. “You can’t be the best version of yourself if you’re running on fumes,” as Dr. Pazona puts it.
6. Bladder Leakage? Stop Tolerating It Like It’s Normal
No pad should serve as a long-term solution. Stress incontinence is treated simply, painlessly, and in a matter of moments with Bulkamid, no cuts or long downtimes required. It’s more than 80% effective for people who can spare time for a wax appointment.
7. Lift Weights
Never worry about ‘bulking up.’ Women have a much harder time than men when it comes to building muscle. Lifting weights will not make you bulky, but it WILL make you stronger, boost your endurance, and protect you from potentially dangerous falls and bone loss. Start small, get a trainer if required, and make weight lifting a part of your daily lifestyle routine.
8. Start a Sleep Routine
Sleep is essential. It is one of the key players when it comes to energy, weight, hormones, and mental clarity. Consider it like a kid’s bedtime routine - a dark room, no devices, sleep and wake routines, and most importantly - no scrolling on screens just before bed. Your brain and body will feel so much better, trust us.
9. Set Up Your Environment for Success
Healthy people do not have more self-restraint, they have better systems in place. This begins with everything inside your fridge and pantry. If cookies and frozen pizzas are easily accessible, guess what you will eat…Instead, try stocking up on chicken, fruits, assorted nuts, and prep meals. Eating healthy foods is that easy when they’re right in front of you.
10. Schedule HIS Vasectomy
Let’s be honest here. The major share of birth control responsibility rests on the wife. Using the pill, IUD, and hormonal changes bring a lot of stress. If you have reached the limit of children, let your man take his turn. A vasectomy is quick, safe, effective, and relieves your burden. As Dr. Pazona puts it, “No snippy, no nookie."
