From prolapse to food labels – read all about it 

What’s the connection between prolapse and food labels? Fortunately not much – except they both feature in the latest magazine from the not-for-profit national women’s health body, the Jean Hailes Foundation.

Our highly qualified health professionals explain in a simple and comprehensive way the secrets behind some of the most common issues confronting Australian women – including the analysis of food labelling and the power of yoga.

The Jean Hailes Foundation is the leader in women’s health education for Australian women and the country’s general practitioners. The foundation’s reach into the community is great with the free magazine circulated to 75,000 people.

Topics covered by the latest edition include:

Dr Helena Teede - An introduction to one of the country’s most influential medical researchers, the foundation’s new director of research. Dr Teede, an endocrinologist, is already having a huge impact on the health of Australian women.
 

Prolapse – OK it’s not sexy but it’s a big problem. We discuss how to prevent the vital bits from falling out of place and what to do when it happens. Physiotherapist Janetta Webb and gynaecologist Dr Elizabeth Farrell give great insight into this often taboo subject.
 

Food labelling – Dietitian Cate Lombard offers one of the most comprehensive analyses of those tricky labels ever produced by an Australian magazine. We offer a simple approach to understanding the complex set of numbers.
 

Yoga is increasingly recognised for its impact on physical and mental health. Our yoga expert, Janet Lowndes, who is also a psychologist, is in a great position to advise on the benefits of yoga and is currently doing her PhD on the physical and psychological benefits of yoga in midlife women.
