WOMEN'S HEALTH AND SELF-CARE (+COVID-19 UPDATE)

As Dr. Prather says, women are the ones who take care of everyone else, but too often neglect to take care of themselves.  In honor of Women's History Month, we focus on Women's Health this week.  In this episode, we talk about:

—How the COVID-19 infection and death rates have dropped significantly, which is great news.

—Why the new "variants" of the COVID-19 virus are more contagious and deadly forms of the virus, which is the bad news.

—Whether prior infection and vaccination will protect you from the new COVID-19 variants.

—How the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccination (that Dr. Prather calls "a real game changer") is based on the Ebola vaccination, which is proven to be safe and effective.

—The importance of sleep, exercise, social time with friends, and reflective time to maximize a woman's health and well-being.

—The difference between P.M. sleep (before Midnight) and A.M. sleep (after Midnight).  And how P.M. sleep has a bigger effect than A.M. sleep, providing the benefit of two hours of sleep for every hour you are asleep.

—Which health screenings women should get on a regular basis.  And why everyone should have a Structure-Function Care physician to provide 80% of their health care.

—Why Heart Disease is increasing in women.  And why cervical cancer screenings have been one of the most successful tools in reducing death rates among women.

—How healthy weight loss can dramatically impact your bloodwork and overall health.

—Plus, Health Coach Justine Turner of The Prather Practice joins us for a Motivational Moment segment to talk about ways we can practice self-care.
