Uterine Fibroids Are Programmed Over Time — The Lifestyle Medicine Perspective

Описание: Uterine fibroids do not appear suddenly — they are programmed gradually over years.
In many women, especially Black women, fibroids develop from a long-standing interaction between hormonal exposure, low or absent parity, chronic metabolic stress, inflammation, and lifestyle patterns.
From adolescence through adulthood, repeated estrogen stimulation without the protective effects of pregnancy, combined with poor diet, physical inactivity, sleep disruption, and stress, creates a biological environment where fibroids thrive.
By the time fibroids are discovered — often with heavy bleeding, pain, or infertility — the groundwork has already been laid silently over time.
Lifestyle Medicine teaches prevention and early biological protection, not just late surgical solutions.
Healthy uterine health is supported through: • hormonal balance
• regular physical activity
• nutrient-dense whole foods
• metabolic health
• stress regulation
• adequate sleep
• healthy social connection
Diseases are not random.
They are programmed — slowly, quietly, and predictably.
