When it comes to women’s health, we all know that it is often looked over. In a varsity team, all the information is out there on the field and sitting on the bench are very important studies and information about women. Another problem is that a lot of studies are biased towards men and their hormonal makeup and metabolic differences. Women and men are designed to do two different things and have unique health challenges. Today I’ll talk about fluoride, hormones, oral health, child rearing, and will answer some specific questions.
