The Wellness Rebellion Is Here / Can a Simple Test Predict Preeclampsia? / Your GYN Surgery Recovery Guide ✍🏼

Hi friend,

Have you seen the viral “Propaganda I’m Not Falling For” TikToks — where women are tossing their green juices, dry brushing kits, and $90 protein powders into the trash?Same. And honestly? We get it.

Because “wellness” was supposed to make us feel better — not stressed, broke, and burned out. For years, we've been sold a version of health that’s less about what we need and more about what we can be marketed to.

But women are waking up. They’re pushing back. And they're done being gaslit by a culture that confuses restriction with empowerment.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, inadequate, or like wellness became another thing on your to-do list, you’re not alone. And you're definitely not imagining it.

👉 Why so many of us are ‘over’ toxic wellness culture

The New Pregnancy Must-Have: A Blood Test That Could Actually Save Lives 🩸

Pregnancy is full of surprises — and some of them, frankly, suck. I’ve been through preterm labor and bed rest, and my co-founder Abby nearly lost her life to preeclampsia. It’s scary how often this complication, which affects 1 in 12 pregnancies, can sneak up on you.

Now, there’s a game-changing at-home blood test you can take between 18 and 22 weeks that looks at your individual risk for preeclampsia before the usual symptoms even show up. That means your doctor can get ahead of it with a plan made just for you.

If you’re pregnant, 35 or over, and under 22 weeks, this is one to know about. Because when it comes to pregnancy, being caught off guard is the last thing you need.

Your MIGS Recovery Roadmap 📒

If you’ve been recommended minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) to treat conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or ovarian cysts, you might be wondering what comes next. MIGS uses tiny incisions and specialized tools to fix pelvic issues with less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery than open surgery.

Here’s what post-op typically looks like:

✅ First 1–2 days: Rest and light walking to prevent blood clots
✅ First week: Mild soreness is normal; gentle activities are okay, but avoid heavy lifting
✅ 2–4 weeks: Many people return to work and normal activities, depending on your job and how you feel
✅ 4–6 weeks: Most are back to full activity, including exercise and sex (once your doctor says it’s safe)

Along the way, watch for signs of infection or unusual pain, and give yourself the grace to heal without pushing too hard too soon.
