Caption: WE DID IT!! 🎉🎉🎉 Because of your generosity, your advocacy, your willingness to speak openly and boldly, we have reached our goal of funding the first FWH x Lupita Nyong’o Uterine Fibroid Research Grant! 🙌🏿🙏🏿🫶🏿 Because of you, @foundationwomenshealth will be able to fund a proposal from scientists, who are researching minimally-invasive or non-invasive treatments for fibroids. This is one step forward of many that need to be taken to close the research gap in fibroids and women’s health. But today my heart is full. When I started this campaign, my dream was to bring women together and empower us to take action towards the solutions we long to see. We did that. 💗 I will have more to share soon but for today: Thank you for giving. Thank you for fundraising. Thank you for sharing your stories. Thank you for believing that women’s health deserves urgent attention and investment. Thank you for Making Fibroids Count. 🍋🍊🍇🫐🍈 #MakeFibroidsCount #Fibroids #ResearchMatters #WomensHealth

Caption: 3.6 years. That’s how long it takes on average for fibroid symptoms to be treated. Not diagnosed. Treated. That’s potentially over one thousand days of discomfort, pain, missed work and quiet suffering before a woman gets help and relief. A big reason why is that women have been taught to normalize their pain, and medicine has failed to invest in understanding this disease. The two things reinforce each other, and both need to change. Doctors can only work with the tools and knowledge available to them. When research is underfunded, those tools are limited, and it’s the patients that pay the price in years. Research can change this. Here’s what that could look like: a blood test or imaging scan that catches fibroids before symptoms spiral; a non-surgical treatment option that means a woman doesn’t have to choose between her fertility and her relief; a doctor who recognizes the signs early enough to intervene. Right now, too many of those possibilities don’t exist or aren’t widely available, because the research to develop and validate them hasn’t been done. That future is within reach, but only if we fund our way to it. The #MakeFibroidsCount fundraising campaign exists to make that future real, through education and research funding. Give today at MakeFibroidsCount.org. Every dollar is a vote for better options. #Fibroids #FibroidResearch @FoundationWomensHealth

Caption: My friend @rizahmed has birthed an ARTISTIC GEM with his new show BAIT on Amazon Prime. If you are looking for a smart, funny, thoughtful, well-shot, and deliciously-performed experience, BAIT is for you. The cultural specificity of a world we rarely see on screen should only make you want to move this up your watchlist. I went to a screening of the first 3 episodes with my friend @itsnanamensah, and we were smiling and laughing all the way through. When the credits rolled all I could think was, “I’m so glad I get to watch that again!” If you can’t tell already, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BAIT, especially to those in search of a pick-me-up experience. Out March 25th!

Caption: My Fibroids Story: How It Started → How It’s Going 🍊🍇🫐🍋 In the 12 years since I was diagnosed with fibroids, my treatment options have essentially remained the same: “have invasive surgery or live with the pain.” I am not alone…and that is why I started #MakeFibroidsCount ➡️ We have one week left of our campaign to fund scientific research that advances solutions for the millions of women with fibroids worldwide 📣 Join the effort and donate at MakeFibroidsCount.org (link in bio). 💜 #FibroidResearch #Fibroids

Caption: Up to 80% of women will develop fibroids in their lifetime. Yet so many are left navigating in silence and with limited options. On my podcast The Dose, I sat down with Lupita Nyong’o to talk about her experience navigating fibroids and why she launched the Make Fibroids Count campaign, an effort to fund research and push for better, less invasive treatment options. What she shared about the options many women are given stopped me in my tracks. If this conversation resonates with you, you can support this work by making a donation at MakeFibroidsCount.org, sharing your story, or helping spread awareness. Listen to the full episode of The Dose anywhere you get your podcasts.

Caption: Fibroids don’t discriminate; they affect women of every race, but the numbers don’t lie: Black women are disproportionately affected, and we need to talk about it. ➡️Black women are 3x more likely to develop fibroids earlier, in greater numbers, and with more severity, and 7x more likely to need surgery. None of us asked for this, but being informed is one of the most powerful things we can do. 🍈🫐🍊🍇 ➡️Whether a fibroid is the size of a pomegranate seed or a cantaloupe, the impact can be devastating. A tiny seed-sized fibroid in the wrong location can cause life-altering pain. A melon-sized one can mean serious surgery. And with fibroids often showing up earlier and hitting harder, they can steal years from our lives. So, where do we go from here? Here’s what has helped me: 1. KNOW YOUR FAMILY HISTORY. Talk to the women in your family: grandmothers, mothers, aunts, sisters. What you’ve been calling “a bad period” might be more, and sharing that history with your doctor could mean earlier detection for you, and better options for the next generation. 2. FIND YOUR PEOPLE AND TAKE ACTION. Link arms with other women and say out loud: *we will not keep normalizing women’s pain.* I’ve partnered with @foundationwomenshealth to launch a research grant focused on less invasive fibroid treatments. Donate today and support the effort at MakeFibroidsCount.org. 3. KNOW THIS: IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. We’re not taught about fibroids. Women’s health is stigmatized and minimized all the time. Release the blame. Not for a single minute should you carry that. #MakeFibroidsCount #FibroidResearch

Caption: Doctors and researchers assumed male bodies were the default, and that findings from men would apply to everyone. They don’t: Because typical drug dosages were designed around male weight and metabolism, women have been twice as likely to suffer serious side effects from some prescription medications. Some heart drugs that save men’s lives can increase cardiac deaths in women. Fibroids are a defining example of this medical exclusion. They affect up to 80% of women. They’re the #1 reason for hysterectomy in this country. They cost the US $34 billion annually. And they remain one of the most underfunded conditions in medicine. More research specifically focused on women isn’t about special treatment. It’s about catching up. Research is not optional. It’s overdue.
