Happy Women's Day from Holy Mackerel Health

I would like to call upon all women to empower their health and wellbeing.

Women are finally reaching the professional and social equality that generations of women have fought so hard for. However, has it been at the determent of our health?

In my practice the most common conditions women are presenting with are:

• Stress, anxiety and depression

• Chronic fatigue

• reproductive conditions: endometriosis, PCOS, infertility, menopause

• Weight gain

• Digestive complaints

• Pain associated conditions such as arthritis

• Skin conditions: acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis

Women are often made to feel that these conditions are part and parcel of being a woman and that their treatment options are limited. It is not always a case of a pill to fix every ill. Often these conditions require other interventions including improvements in the diet, lifestyle modifications and supplementation to reduce the symptoms.

I am asking you to take the time and consider what you can do to support your health and wellbeing. It is the only way that women can truly move forward.
