And, right now, we must push back, and say NO to the War with Iran.

The International Women's Day 2026 theme is "Give to Gain" which encourages a mindset of generosity and collaboration to advance gender equality. By giving support, time, and resources, everyone can gain a more equitable world.

"Give To Gain" emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.

Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education, training, mentoring, or time, contributing to women's advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world.

How Nighttime Light Quietly Became a Serious Health Threat

Medscape - February 25, 2026
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/how-nighttime-light-quietly-became-serious-health-threat-2026a10005w7?ecd=WNL_trdalrt_pos1_260226_etid8141010&uac=445044EN&impID=8141010

How often do you reach for your phone before bed and remember that blue light can disrupt your sleep, but you scroll on anyway? Most of us do!

Over the past few years, separate research has linked nighttime light exposure to, yes, sleep disruption, but also negative effects on cardiac, metabolic, cognitive, and mental health. It’s also linked to higher cancer risk.

You’d probably guess it’s about circadian rhythm, and you’d be right. But there’s more to it than that. Throwing off our internal clocks produces a cascade of effects across systems: Shifts in hormonal balance, organ function, inflammation levels, and more.

“One of the things that we’ve started to understand more is that our circadian rhythms are closely linked to our overall health,” said Jennifer Martin, PhD, sleep researcher and professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. “Our digestion has a circadian rhythm. Even our cells dividing have a circadian rhythm.”

The circadian system helps regulate numerous processes in our body, including cardiovascular function and blood pressure. When we confuse our internal clock, “there are health consequences.”

Then there’s the strong association between nighttime light exposure and poor quality sleep, the latter of which in itself is linked to everything from obesity to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, accelerated brain aging, and even early mortality.

Indeed, accumulating research now suggests nighttime light exposure can take a toll on nearly every aspect of our health.

This article continues to inform ways in which nighttime light impacts our health and well-being - specifically cardiovascular, metabolic, brain-mental health, and cancer. It is certainly worth taking the time to read! 👀

March is WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH!

The 2026 theme is: Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future.

This theme highlights women's roles in environmental sustainability, financial security, community resilience, and social equity to build a better future. It affirms that shaping a sustainable future means fostering systems that support both people and the planet.

In this pivotal moment of history, we are called to confront a range of overlapping global challenges: climate change, economic insecurity, healthcare disparities, and threats to democratic participation. These issues are deeply intertwined – and women, particularly from marginalized communities, often experience their impacts most acutely.

Yet women have also led the charge toward lasting solutions. Let's celebrate ourselves, the women in our lives, and take action to support the inclusion of women in decision-making roles in our country and in the world. 🌍🌎🌏

The Anxiety–Gut Connection: How Stress, Food, and the Nervous System Shape Mental Health ---- March 25, 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET (FREE EVENT)

Stress isn’t just something you feel—it’s a biological process that affects your brain, gut, hormones, and metabolism. Over time, chronic stress can shape how we eat, how we feel, how we heal, and how resilient our bodies are.

In this webinar, Dr. David Wiss, PhD, RDN, IFMCP, will help demystify the biology of stress in clear, accessible terms—and, most importantly, focus on what actually helps. Designed for cancer survivors, caregivers, and anyone navigating ongoing stress, this session balances science with practical, compassionate guidance you can apply in daily life.

Together, we’ll explore:

- How stress works in the body, and simple ways to support regulation/resilience
- The two-way connection between stress and gut health
- Why stress eating is a biological response, not a failure of willpower
- How chronic stress affects the nervous system and contributes to burnout

This session will emphasize small, realistic steps that support the nervous system and overall well-being.

Can’t attend live? All registrants will receive the recording via email after the event concludes.
