Sexy Summer

Summer is back! We value our Midwest summers because we know they only last a few months, and we want to make the most of them! Summer is when most of us are concerned about looking our best, since this is the time for sleeveless tops, shorts, sandals and bathing suits. Now is a great time to commit to a plan for getting to our desired weight and fitness level, so we can truly enjoy the fashions and events of summer! And the best part is, we will also be improving our health, energy and even our outlook on life!

So many factors affect women’s weight during the different stages of our lives, and we need to be aware of them, take action to minimize them, and then enjoy each stage of life to the fullest. At The Wright Center for Women’s Health, we will help you plan a strategy for navigating your way through changes in hormones, pregnancies, age-related issues, and changes in lifestyle that could affect your weight.

Here are a few common issues women face that can cause weight gain:

Menopause

Post-menopausal women often experience weight gain, including increased weight in their mid-sections. It’s more difficult to lose weight after menopause, which just makes the problem more annoying. Along with the weight gain, many women experience decreased muscle strength, joint pain, and decreased sexual drive.

Bio-Identical hormone balancing can help with these symptoms. Many forms of the bio-identical hormones exist, and you should discuss which one is right for you with your doctor.

Pregnancy

Those baby pounds just don’t want to come off! Post-pregnancy weight can be a lingering problem. The best approach is to start a sensible, balanced diet, and reasonable exercise program to help your body return to normal. Dr. Wright can offer advice on which plans will work for you.

Change in lifestyle

Sometimes life brings on changes that can cause weight gain. Taking a job where you are mostly sedentary may cause you to add a few pounds simply because you aren’t getting the exercise you once were. Stress over a job, family issues, and other demanding events may cause you to “stress eat”, decrease your exercise, or eat foods that are not healthy. Dr. Wright can work with you to identify the lifestyle changes you’re experiencing that are causing the problem, and suggest sensible ways for you to get back into healthy habits.

Taking control over weight issues will reap other benefits such as lowering our risk for heart disease and stroke, and will increase our energy level, stamina and outlook. We all need a little encouragement now and again. We can help you get on the road to enjoying that sexy summer you deserve! Call The Wright Center for Women’s Health to get started at 630.687.9595.

Giving to Charities

So every month our clients, (That would be you) help us to decide which charity we will donate to by choosing an Exceptional Staff Member of the Month. How does that happen? Well, every month whoever a client mentions by name in a survey or review who went above and beyond gets to be the Exceptional Staff Member of the Month and then that staff member chooses which charity the practice will donate to that month. This month one of our fantabulous clients mentioned that “two awesome ladies who comforted me the whole time knowing I was not a fan of needles” during her blood draw. Those two ladies were Kathy and Rebeccah! And they chose ASPCA.org for their charity. A special thank you to this client for giving us the opportunity to give!

Your gift will make a big impact on the lives of animals in need.
Thank you for supporting the ASPCA.

Thank you for supporting the ASPCA! We have successfully processed your
gift of $150.00.

You can make an even bigger difference for animals by spreading the word
and encouraging your friends and family to join you in support of the
ASPCA.

Your support is critical to our ongoing efforts to rescue and protect
vulnerable and needy animals. It is thanks to friends like you that we
can create and continue the life-saving programs that help so many
animals and pet parents across the country. On behalf of the animals we
serve, thank you for supporting the ASPCA.

Sincerely,

Matt Bershadker
ASPCA President & CEO

P.S. You may be able to double the impact of your gift. If your company
offers a corporate matching gift program, ask your Human Resources
department for a form and return it to the ASPCA. Or you can search for
your company on our matching gift lookup site.

Meet Addyi

Posted on by Kimberly Wright

On Jan 14, 2016, the FDA published an explanation of why it turned down the drug twice then approved it on the 3rd round (even though some important issues still loom…like an increase in breast cancer when tested on mice).

Here’s a video about the FDA’s story as told by the FDA (click to view).  You can also read the actual New England Journal Statement there as well.

Alternatives to Addyi include proper hormone replacement, marriage and sexual counseling, and the O-Shot® procedure (which uses the same technology used in the Vampire Facelift® procedure).

Since Addyi will be in the news quite a bit over the next few months (the company spent 1.5 billion bringing the drug to market, so you will see some ads).  Thought you’d want to see the science for yourself.

Very best regards,

The Wright Center for Women’s Health

P.S. Contact us at 630-687-9595 or info@thewrightobgyn.com to see if the o-shot might help you.
