Women empowerment is the process that acknowledges women’s sense of self-worth and influences them to take their place in a predominantly masculine society. Empowering women is a fundamental human right key to achieving gender equality, thus a more prosperous and peaceful world.

In the last decades, the world has experienced huge progress by reshaping the narrative of women’s empowerment. The old masculine paradigm is falling behind. But the movement is far from over. The role of women in society, especially in politics and economics, still has a way to go. Promoting women’s rights and women’s empowerment is today a major global movement that will continue until every woman and girl in the world is free from discrimination and violence.

Thence the importance of celebrating, enabling, and hosting Women’s Empowerment spaces to acknowledge the progress made so far and keep promoting women’s ability and right to influence social change in today’s world. Women Gone Wild Summit 2021 is this year’s largest Women’s Empowerment Summit. Hosted by renowned bestselling author Rhonda Swan, Women Gone Wild Summit will be taking place from September 28- to October 1, 2021.

Representative Feminine Power

According to a 2017 study made by professional services firm Egon Zehnder, 54% of women have access to senior leaders who act as mentors or sponsors for their careers. Some of these mentors are mainly men who often don’t hear, appreciate nor include women in the entrepreneurial world. This is one of the reasons many women get discouraged as they feel they are at a disadvantage.

“I believe entrepreneurship is within all of us. By creating a way of living your life or running your family, you are being an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is about being there; it’s about being savvy, being able to shift, being resilient, focusing, and making the sacrifice,” says Rhonda Swan.

In addition to being a bestselling author with her last recently-released book Women Gone Wild: The Feminine Guide To Fearless Living, Rhonda Swan is the CEO and founder of the Unstoppable Branding Agency, a renowned international speaker, host to the Rhonda Swan Show, and a business strategist.

Women Gone Wild Summit is a one-of-a-kind summit that offers a platform that celebrates, empowers, and elevates women to rise above adversity, to abandon that old belief of them being underrepresented, for other women are uplifting the feminine power and willing to assist and support others in finding their own inner strength, independence, and feminine power.

The Journey of Becoming a Wild Woman

The world is in urgent need of women acknowledging and recognizing their power. In order to face the challenges the future brings, the world needs more women leaders in action. Women empowerment movements have emerged decades ago and will continue to gain new ground in the next few years. Women have been taking the world for a while, and they are now unstoppable, as Rhonda, the “Unstoppable Momma” puts it.

Elevating women into leadership and empowerment is today more crucial than ever. It is time to leverage female talents, diversity, and equality.

Today the world is experiencing the rise of feminine energy. Women are finding their voices. They are fed up with being told what to do or what’s their right place in society… “As women, we’re told to be nice. To please others. To fit in. But that’s not you. You’re done being sweet and suppressing your wild feminine power,” expresses Rhonda Swan in her invitation to the Women Gone Wild Summit.

Women Gone Wild Summit is a 4-day online summit that will empower women by inspiring and boosting their confidence as an entrepreneur, business leader, and overall as a woman through 40 awakened powerful speakers who will be telling their stories of magical transformation and how their journey led them to success.

The space is reserved for acknowledging and recognizing the feminine power that lives inside each one, no matter their background. During the summit, the inspirational speeches by other entrepreneurs and activists will invite women to develop relationships with other changemakers, to learn professional development skills that will boost their business. But mostly they will guide women to take that first sometimes-frightening step into reconnecting with their Divine Feminine and starting their own journey of becoming a Wild Woman.

“It’s foliage blossoming with women who are breaking free of the masculine matrix of success, impact, and wealth creation,” Rhonda says.

The WILD feminine mindset

Women Gone Wild Summit will have such an in-depth impact in 2021. It will inspire women to connect with their own feminine energy and elevate them to their fullest, at the same time it will promote building a purpose-driven community. The Summit will be divided into 4-day long discussion panels where these 40 awakened women will inspire and challenge attendees through a new WILD feminine mindset.

Wild stands for the experiences the powerful speakers will be sharing and focusing on these four days. W stands for Wealth, the topic that will be discussed on Day 1: “The speakers will share the tools, practices, and rituals they used to tap into their feminine powers”.

I is for Inner Harmony that will be discussed on Day 2: “It is the individual journey into the self throughout life that we embark on to reach the same state of calmness, happiness, and acceptance of our present moments and situations.” The discussion will be full of different experiences and perspectives since Inner Harmony manifests differently for each one of us.

Day 3 will focus on the L, Leadership: “Leadership is about showing up for your family, friends, community, the greater good of the world, and most importantly yourself. Our goal is to teach you to lead with the heart in every area of your life without devaluing your worth, self-love, and your greatest passions.” The challenge during this summit is to find the leader that already lives within you.

Last but not least, day 4 will focus on Diversity, the last letter in WILD: “Hear stories from women from all walks of life who are owning their unique gifts and bringing diversity to the forefront of their businesses.”

Every woman can benefit from this Women Gone Wild Summit 2021 for there will be joy, passion, purpose, and willpower. Together, women are stronger. Together, women become WILD.

The Role of Medicine in Achieving and Sustaining a Healthy Body Mass

The CDC’s latest numbers classify approximately 42 percent of Americans as obese, and over two-thirds of American adults qualify as either obese or overweight. Living with excess weight heightens people’s risk for debilitating and chronic but otherwise preventable conditions like stroke, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.

With new weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy on the rise, many are wondering if these medications live up to their hype and can even help end the obesity epidemic. Sergio Padron, founder and CEO of online healthcare and weight-loss support company MD Exam, believes they can — up to a point.

“It’s important to approach these medications with a thorough understanding of what they can and can’t do,” Padron says. “Magic pills for weight loss don’t exist.”

The importance of achieving a healthy body mass

According to Padron, achieving and sustaining a healthy body mass is key to good health. To obtain your body mass index (BMI), online calculators like this one from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute ask for your height and weight, run them through the standard formula, and generate your score. The last step is to find this number in the standardized ranges considered underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

“Many healthcare professionals use the body mass index (BMI) for a quick approximation of most people’s health,” he explains. “All you need is the patient’s weight and height, and you can calculate this number.”

There are exceptions, however. “In particular, bodybuilders and other athletes can generate results that make it seem like they aren’t healthy, when in fact they’re in excellent condition,” Padron explains. “That’s because BMI doesn’t consider muscle mass, and muscle is more dense than fat. In addition, BMI doesn’t account for visceral fat being more dangerous than fat deposits elsewhere in the body.”

That’s why Padron cautions people not to make snap judgments based on BMI alone and to seek a more comprehensive view from healthcare professionals. “Factors like body composition, blood markers, and lifestyle need to be considered,” he explains, “which is one of the many reasons why we only offer individualized care at MD Exam.”

If your BMI falls in the overweight or obese categories, then it’s time to make a change. “Unfortunately, excess body weight means you could be developing major health problems that you otherwise wouldn’t,” Padron says. “Being overweight has also been associated with depression. In my experience, it can have a negative impact on self-esteem and even lead to the development of eating disorders.”

Luckily, groundbreaking new drugs have become available to help people recover their quality of life.

How Ozempic and Wegovy can help

According to Padron, pharmaceutical solutions like Ozempic and Wegovy can help most people achieve and sustain a healthy body mass. These medications reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, thereby enabling people to regulate their consumption better.

“One of the most important things our patients report is that they’re no longer tormented by cravings,” Padron says. “They find it easier to avoid overeating in the first place.”

In addition, Ozempic and Wegovy have been shown to decrease visceral fat — the dangerous kind of fat deposits. “The idea is to optimize health and well-being, not just lose weight,” Padron says. “We want to make sure you lose the right pounds. When you lose visceral fat and keep muscle, you are heading in the right direction and your body composition improves.”

In some rare cases, however, Ozempic and Wegovy aren’t effective. “Luckily, other interventions can be effective in those cases, such as Tirzepatide or classic weight-loss drugs,” Padron says.

Yet Padron emphasizes that weight-loss drugs alone are insufficient to achieve and sustain a healthy body mass.

Personalized, comprehensive support

“Just taking a pill won’t make pounds disappear,” Padron says. “To lose weight, it’s necessary to get real about your lifestyle and actually change your habits. If you haven’t been exercising, for instance, then it’s time to start getting up a little earlier and going for a morning walk. If you haven’t been eating well, then it’s time to stop buying soda and junk food.”

Easier said than done? “We know it’s hard,” Padron says. “That’s why our program takes support seriously. Our medical staff works with patients one-on-one to develop treatment plans that will work for them. We also provide coaching and connect patients to each other for mutual support and accountability. MD Exam is a community. People make friends for life on our platform.”

Lose weight, feel great

Obtaining a healthy body mass often leads to increased energy levels, improved mobility, and reduced joint pain. It can also help control chronic conditions like high blood pressure and sleep apnea, as well as forestall the development of preventable diseases. If that isn’t already enough, it can also boost patients’ self-confidence and mental health.

“Our patients experience an incredible feeling of accomplishment and empowerment,” Padron says. “Losing weight can be truly transformative. I can’t tell you how many people have told me their whole outlook on life has become more positive.”

For Padron, helping people lose weight is its own reward. “I love watching people shed their depression and come back to life,” he says. “This is the most rewarding work I can imagine.”
