Women don't present with the classic "Hollywood heart attack" signs when they are having a cardiac event

One study found that women under 55 were seven times more likely than men to be sent home from the ER while actively having a heart attack. It’s not that women don’t recognize our symptoms; it’s that the health system doesn’t. In this episode of unPAUSED, I sit down with Dr. Jayne Morgan to talk about how menopause accelerates cardiovascular risk and why women’s symptoms continue to be dismissed or overlooked.

Today is World Menopause Day. Did you know that menopause is technically also just one day?
By definition menopause is 12 consecutive months without a period. The period (no pun intended) before that is considered perimenopause, and after that you are post-menopausal.
It's been an amazing year to see the rise in the conversation about this topic, especially when it comes to new research and information about managing health and hormones to help improve the quality of life of so many women.
Yoni Health Clinic will continue to be a champion for women's health, especially in this space.

13 years ago today Shiree left her role as a Continence Clinical Nurse Consultant at one of the major tertiary hospitals in Western Australia, and also started her journey to become a Nurse Practitioner.
Who knew that 18 years ago she was already beginning to treat patients with genitourinary symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. It was definitely not an area that was covered in depth in the Continence Nurse Specialist course she completed.
But thankfully times are changing and we are talking about it more freely, as well as being proactive in treating symptoms to help restore quality of life to our patients.

5 years ago today I officially did my last shift in the public health system after 20 years working for the Health Department of Western Australia.
It definitely wasn't an easy decision to make-the job security, a guaranteed income, sick/personal leave, the perks like salary sacrificing and paid study leave. As well as debating whether I would "waste" my Masters degree to become a Nurse Practitioner to "just be an injector".
Little did I know that my love for science and anatomy would allow me to grow my clinic on my own terms and stay true to my principles and philosophies. And also allow me to add the longevity and functional medicine branch of the clinic with Yoni Health Clinic.
For any nurses out there struggling with the upcoming changes to our industry, or feeling burnt out by the hospital system-keep pushing forward, keep learning, keep expanding your knowledge and skills base. We're in a new era of preventative not reactive medicine. It's definitely exciting times ahead for us as clinicians and for patients.

Some new greenery for the clinic 🪴
Please talk to them and tell them how gorgeous they are when you come to the clinic so they don't wilt away on us 🤣

I hit the "quintuple" yesterday. I've now officially lectured or taught at all five universities in Western Australia over my 25 year nursing career.
That's included undergraduate Nurses, Nurse Practitioner (Masters) students and Medical students. It's amazing to see how things evolve in the education space, but the one thing that doesn't change is that if you stop learning you stop growing 🧠

A little reminder of my former role as a Urogynaecology Nurse Practitioner at the Women and Newborn tertiary hospital in Perth. A truly full circle moment coming back to working in the field of urology and continence after a decade.

Today we're celebrating International Women's Day with this throwback picture of Nurse Practitioners across Australia. See if you can spot a familiar face amongst them 😁
