#081: Leading The Way To Support Women’s Health with Liz Barton

Vet Med Wellness + Leadership

Liz Barton, founder of WellVet, has had the privilege of experiencing the full breadth of veterinary medicine throughout her career. This has not only enriched her professional journey but also given her a deep awareness of the challenges within the field.

She has previously joined us as a guest to discuss her work with Well Vet, an initiative aimed at connecting mothers in the profession and creating a strong support network. Now, as she enters what she calls the "Twilight of Motherhood," Liz has become passionate about supporting women through menopause and perimenopause. Given that veterinary medicine is predominantly a female-driven profession, this issue has never been more urgent.

Three out of four women will experience negative symptoms related to menopause, whether physical or psychological, which can impact both their relationships and overall health. For those who do not experience severe symptoms, the risk of increased health complications remains significant. Liz highlights these statistics and many other compelling reasons why women's health advocacy is crucial across all industries.

To address this, Liz has created a comprehensive, FREE resource designed to offer support. This includes information and practical advice presented in accessible, bite-sized videos. The content is grounded in the pillars of lifestyle medicine, breathwork and yoga techniques, as well as the neuropsychology of hormones.

Liz hopes to lead the way for the veterinary industry—and all industries—to take women's health seriously, providing the necessary education and support for every woman in the workplace.
