Holistic Health and Economic Leadership: Empowering Women in Business

Charmene M. Vega4 months ago4 months ago06 mins

The Power of Health in the Workplace

When women feel energized, clear-minded, and supported, they bring their best selves to work. Imagine a workplace where your health is a priority—where team-building exercises aren’t just about business but about fostering well-being. That’s what I helped create with the Department of Human Services, through the Blue Zones Project Bakersfield. By incorporating holistic health practices like nutritious food demonstrations and wellness workshops, we saw a transformation. Employees were more engaged, had more energy, and their attendance improved. When your health is thriving, so is your work.

Empowering women to lead with vitality starts with creating spaces where they feel their well-being matters. When work becomes a place where you’re encouraged to be at your healthiest, going to work each day isn’t a chore—it’s a chance to grow stronger, more confident, and more fulfilled.

Recent studies have demonstrated significant advancements in the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease using blood-based biomarkers, particularly the phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) protein. Research published in JAMA Neurology highlights that these blood tests offer diagnostic accuracy comparable to traditional methods like cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and positron emission tomography (PET) scans, achieving accuracy rates around 80-92%(

However, the generalizability of these tests across diverse populations remains a challenge, necessitating further research to ensure their efficacy across different demographic groups(
