7 Domains of Women's Health

Conversations for all the women in your life. Women's health encompasses far more than the issues discussed in a doctor's office—it is deeply intertwined with the unique experiences, challenges, and joys that shape a woman's life. Every medical concern is influenced by the complexities of a woman's life, for better and for worse. Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, DNP, WHNP, look at women's health through the seven essential domains of well-being: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, financial, environmental, and spiritual health. Together, they offer insightful, compassionate conversations designed to empower women in every aspect of their lives. These discussions are not just for women, but for anyone who cares about the women in their lives. Join us as we embark on this journey together and foster an understanding of women's health in all its dimensions.

    E72: The Spiritual Domain of Stress

    The spiritual aspect of stress often comes to the forefront during times of uncertainty or crisis. In these moments, questions of meaning, faith, and resilience can weigh heavily on individuals and families. Spiritual stress does not just affect the mind—it can deeply impact the body and soul, especially in hospital or medical settings where the stakes are high. Rev. David Wolfer, BCC, joins this episode on the spiritual domain of stress to explore how spirituality intersects with stress in health care environments. The conversation explores the importance of finding meaning during difficult times, how faith and connection to something greater than ourselves can provide solace, and the role of spiritual care in fostering hope and emotional strength.

    E71: The Environmental Domain of Stress

    Environmental stress is a two-way street: we stress the environment, and the environment stresses us. Factors such as air pollution, water quality, and climate change can significantly affect our physical and mental health, contributing to chronic stress and severe illnesses. For those already facing health challenges, these environmental stressors can further impact recovery and overall well-being. Ann Deneris joins the conversation to share her personal story of how environmental factors play a key role in her fight against lung cancer. The discussion explores the complex relationship between humans and the environment, the effects of environmental stressors, and practical strategies to mitigate their harmful impact.

    E70: The Financial Domain of Stress

    Financial stress is a significant and widespread issue, with profound implications for individuals and families. In the United States, nearly 4 in 10 Americans cannot cover an unexpected $400 expense without going into debt, and 1 in 5 have no emergency savings. For women, the financial picture is often even more precarious, with median savings of just $500 compared to $1,000 for men. Loans, credit card debt, and rising expenses are major contributors to this growing burden, particularly for younger generations navigating a volatile financial landscape. In the financial domain of stress, Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, DNP, discuss the pervasive nature of financial stress and its impact on individuals, couples, and families. They explore the unique challenges women face in achieving financial stability, how debt can spiral out of control, and share practical advice for breaking free from financial stress and avoiding future pitfalls.

    E68: The Social Domain of Stress

    Stress is not just a personal experience—it is deeply influenced by our social environments and roles. From the circumstances we are born into to the ones we actively choose, social stressors shape how we navigate the world. Social media and news media further amplify these pressures, often fueling stress with a constant stream of information and societal comparisons. In the social domain of stress, Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, DNP, explore the complex relationship between social structures and stress. They discuss the collective stress faced by communities and how these shared challenges intersect with personal stress. By understanding these dynamics, we can better navigate and address the social factors that impact our well-being.

    E69: The Intellectual Domain of Stress

    Pursuing education can be both a source of stress and a pathway to reduced stress in the long run. While the demands of earning a degree—especially an advanced one—can often lead to stress and burnout, individuals with higher education typically experience less stress over time due to greater financial stability. However, intellectual stress is not limited to education; it also includes recognizing stressors unique to each person’s mental and cognitive challenges. In the intellectual domain of stress, Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, DNP, explore how education impacts stress levels, the distinct intellectual stressors faced by women and men, and how overthinking stress can worsen its effect. They also discuss how to differentiate between stressors we can and cannot control and share strategies—both positive and negative—for managing intellectual stress and fostering a healthier mindset.

    E67: The Emotional Domain of Stress

    Many of us have experienced being "stressed out," but what does that really mean, and how does it impact our emotional well-being? Stress can be immediate—a response to a single challenging event—or it can be chronic, lingering over time and leading to deeper issues like anxiety and even depression. The line between stress and anxiety is often thin, with chronic stress intensifying emotional strain. When left unaddressed, this emotional burden can impact physical health, leading to symptoms like sleeplessness, overeating, or loss of appetite. In the emotional domain of stress, Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, DNP, explore the link between emotional health and stress, offering strategies to manage stressors within our control and develop healthier responses to support overall well-being.

    E66: The Physical Domain of Stress

    Stress is a natural response in our bodies, but when experienced chronically, it can take a serious toll on physical health. When faced with a stressor—whether it is a challenging work situation or a sudden loud noise—our bodies release hormones that heighten alertness and prepare us for action. However, chronic stress can lead to health concerns such as headaches, muscle tension, high blood pressure, heart disease, digestive issues, and insomnia, significantly impacting well-being. In the physical domain of stress, Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, DNP, discuss the body's instinctual response to stressors and how we are wired to react. They share practical strategies to manage both external stressors and our internal responses to maintain a healthy mind and body.

    E65: The Spiritual Domain of Stuff

    Cultures and individuals alike often develop deep spiritual connections to certain items throughout their lives. Across various societies, these spiritual attachments to material objects reflect beliefs about life, death, and the afterlife. Yet, when we pass away, it is often said that none of the physical possessions we have accumulated can come with us. Whether it’s a cherished family heirloom or items symbolizing a connection to the afterlife, these objects can carry significant meaning. Cultural anthropologist Polly Wiessner joins the spiritual domain of stuff to discuss what we leave behind versus what we take with us spiritually.
