Manage episode 410824638 series 2632721
Knowledge is power - and we can never have too much!
A native of Pennsylvania, Dr. Cathleen Brown, is a board-certified OB/GYN, trained in Hawaii. She went on to serve on Army bases across the country, and is now the medical director at Winona. Dr. Cat has dedicated her career to women’s health and improving access to care and achieving positive health outcomes.
Winona is a tele-health company that aims to empower, educate, and treat women throughout the entirety of their menopause journey. Now available in 30+ states, Winona allows women to access healthcare without having to physically visit a clinic or hospital and get access to a physician at any hour of the day. Dr. Cat works collaboratively with patients. Together, the shared decision process empowers patients.
While every woman is different, there are core things for which Dr. Cat believes women need to focus. Two of these are nutrition and physical activity. As women, we need to take care of ourselves, slow down, and not allow ourselves to be spread so thin.
The more you learn about yourself, the more you will be able to recognize changes in yourself and the more you will be able to make the changes you need to in your own life!
