How do women find the time to “do good” these days and have fun?

Enter Mary Jo Wallo.

Mary Jo Wallis is your basic renaissance woman.  In addition to surfing, snowboarding and running her own investment company in San Diego she has taken on the mantle as a national leader to Fight Frump (and Give Back!), or do “Altruism with Attitude!”  How, you ask?  Yes the sports play a role but there’s also her vision as co-creator of The Blue Thong Society, a national social and philanthropic women’s organization that’s grown since its inception in 2006 to 300 chapters and 5000 members.

Mary Jo joins Real Women on Health! as our featured guest this week, where she’s going to talk about The Blue Thong Society, give tips on what women can do to “Fight Frump!” by finding like-minded women and giving back, and tell us how BTS  was born.  A hint: it all started at her 50^th birthday when a friend noted that it could be time for the gift of a red hat.  Mary Jo laughed and said a blue thong was more her style…..and the rest, as they say, is history!

We’ll also hear from clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine and private practitioner in New Haven, Connecticut.  Dr. Mary Jane Minken, widely known in the field of gynecology and as a leader in women’s health education both inside and outside the medical community, is giving a couple of minutes of her time to talk to us about powering your pelvic core….

If you’re a woman in her 40’s and 50’s it’s a pivotal time. Your body is changing in dramatic ways that will remind you of…er..hormonal swings much like what you experienced in puberty.  Your memory will become slightly porous, and you may be at risk for hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions.  There’s alot at stake.  Especially as women retire later with conditions like osteoporosis.  But, as you head into midlife, there’s also a lot you can do to be the strongest, nimblest, and healthiest version of yourself possible.

Share Your Experience and Expertise in Our On-line Radio Show called “What You Can Do Now to Feel Great In Ten Years

Join Ivy Alexander, PhD, Associate  Professor of Nursing at Yale Unversity School of Nursing and Mid-life Women’s Health Consultant at Yale University

Prevention and treatment of bone loss is a key issue for women in their 40’s and 50’s.  And, new research from HealthyWomen indicates that older working women’s ability to work may be undermined by their suboptimal management of osteoporosis.

Join Dr.  Alexander in a conversation about diet, exercise, complementary therapies, and those medications which can treat bone loss after it has occurred.

We’ll be joined by other members of the Real Women on Health! community like Lisa Sheehan, skin care aesthetician.  Lisa will share her perspective on bringing a woman’s inner beauty to skin care, where her outer beauty can  truly shine.
