Hi Maggie, Welcome! I love the combination of health coach and creative swearing. I never swore until reaching midlife. I was never the same after The Hitman's Bodyguard's Wife. When you get a chance, look through the directory and see if there are any topics that your publication or articles fit into, and pop them into the comments section. https://womenshealth365.substack.com/p/directory Each week, I feature a different article from a Collective member, and you're now on the list!

I think they fit into multiple topics, and I probably have at least 2 articles per topic. I don't want to spam though, is there a maximum amount?

Hi Amber! I'm glad you found us, and I welcome you to the community. It's amazing what we've been able to accomplish in a relatively short amount of time, and I think you'll enjoy being a part of it. We lift each other up. Head over to the Directory when you get a chance and add your publication or individual articles/podcasts to any and all categories that it fits into in the comments section. https://womenshealth365.substack.com/p/directory

Also, because you've introduced yourself here, I'll feature you in an upcoming newsletter and Notes. So far you and Migraine Girl are the only ones who focus on migraines so I'll keep you both in mind as resources. Best, Shelby

Welcome, Dr. Wiebe! I'm so glad you found us. As a new Substacker, it can be hard to find your group within Substack. However, our community will help you feel welcome. I'll introduce you in a Note soon (I just did one for someone else). Please look through the Directory topics and place your Substack (or individual articles) into the comments section of any category that it fits into. This is a living document, so you can add to it at any time. https://womenshealth365.substack.com/p/directory Thank you for joining us!

Thanks for the clarification, Julie! I always use Dr. unless told differently. You earned it. I’ve seen two pelvic health PTs in my lifetime and both were very helpful. I’ll do what I can to get the word out as many women still don’t know it’s available to them.

I really appreciate that, I mainly just made my grad students use it ;). I am so glad to know you had a good experience. My experience and skills lie in connecting pelvic health with fitness and performance....so helping folks get back to what they love! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you Shelby! I know how many women are suffering through perimenopause without guidance or answers - and unfortunately we all experience something slightly different. Hot flashes, achy joints, sleep interruptions, the list can feel endless. Even more challenging, the perimenopause transition can last for years (I'm nine years in and counting). But there is good news; sleep hygiene, stress management, and strengthening bone and muscles can all improve the road to menopause. And let's not forget the crucial role of movement on the body and the mind. Perhaps least talked about? How to take care of our largest organ... our skin. Phosis is here support each other and help us thrive at this stage in our lives. ✨

I thought you were going to say our liver, but yeah, skin is good! 🤣 If we've learned nothing else from HRT, it's about how things can be absorbed by our skin and the importance of the ingredients we put on it. Thank you for being so thoughtful in your skincare line and doing the necessary research!

Well, your liver is indeed important, along with heart health and brain health and gut health, but skin seems to be overlooked! 😂

You're in! It's that easy... subscribed and introduced yourself. Done. Welcome to the group! Based on your experience you've built a lot of knowledge and I'm so happy you've decided to share it. Take a look through the Directory pages and see which topic(s) your work fits into... either a specific article or the whole publication. There's no limit so as long as it's relevant to the topic. The other bonus is that since you introduced yourself here I can feature one of your articles in a future newsletter. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, Shelby

How do I get one of my articles featured?

Women's Health 365 Collective's avatar

It's all in due time 😁. For each newsletter (every Monday), I pick the topics based on what I want to talk about or feature. I go down the list of the authors here and pick one. I try to go in order of introduction, but sometimes something jumps out at me, or if someone features the Collective in some way, I'll return the favor. Your topic will be easy to fit in because no one else is writing specifically about migraines.

Welcome Victoria! I'm so glad you've found us, and I appreciate all of the work you're doing on your Substack. You are a wealth of knowledge. Last year, my MIL became the caregiver for my FIL for about 7 months and I got a peek into what that was like. I've always been inspired by her, but I have new found respect for what she went through taking care of him and navigating the home health industry.

Victoria's avatar

Thanks Shelby. There are several people / publishers who share their experiences and many I've highlighted in Carer Mentor anthologies. Feel free to DM me if you or your MIL have questions moving forward. I hope your FIL is stable healthwise and things are calm for all of you. FYI check out Denise Brown's work too.

Where would you recommend highlighting caregiving for others - in the midlife and ageing or elsewhere.

Also, Osteoporosis is an ageing issue but a not an autoimmune health condition but I understand it's related to decreased bone density, Vit D - where would that be best represented given you highlight peri/menopause? I just want to make sure I respect your categories when recommending others. Thanks, Shelby!

Women's Health 365 Collective's avatar

Thanks, Victoria! The categories for the Directory are pretty flexible. I wouldn't mind if you posted osteoporosis in midlife aging, medical conditions, and/or perimenopause. As far as caregiving... mental health, midlife aging, and medical conditions. The more the merrier - whatever you think it would fit best where someone would go to look for this information.

Thank you for the sweet offer. My FIL ultimately passed away, but MIL single-handedly kept him alive for many more months than he would have gotten in a nursing home. I did learn through this experience that in Massachusetts (not sure if this applies in other states), there is a fund that pays family member caregivers for their time caregiving. She didn't end up applying for it, but my sister knows people who have, and it comes in helpful. Just wanted to mention that since I know you are based in UK. Keep up the great job! Your topic is extremely important. Best, Shelby

Victoria's avatar

Aw Shelby, my condolences for your loss. Oh I didn't realise that Massachusetts has a fund for caregivers - that's SO good, a state that values family caregiving! I won't soapbox here - but you can imagine..

Thanks for the guidance re. posting, I appreciate your flexibility. I'll pick out a few articles/connect you with others as I just did in notes.

I highlighted Osteoporosis, because I used to work in that area and falls/fractures medications and treatment happens (as I'm sure you're aware) around peri-menopause.

Hi, Sophie, and welcome! I love this niche you write about. So many women I've met have been concerned about their own brains based on their mother's (or father's) experience with dementia and Alzheimer's and want to do all that's possible now to try to prevent it. I hope you're enjoying Substack so far! Since you introduced yourself here, I'll add you to the list of writers to pull articles from when I put together our weekly newsletter. Best, Shelby
