Empowering Women - Improve Your Health & Take Control of Your Life
Empowering women is critical to helping them lead happier and healthier lives. Dr. Angel Marie Johnson is a board-certified urogynecologist with 12+ years of experience in gynecology and obstetrics and is the Director of Women's Health at Greater Boston's Urology in Massachusetts. Dr. Johnson spoke about the importance of empowering women, improving your health, and gaining control of your life on Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix.
Healthier Women Are Happier and More Confident Women
Dr. Johnson works in urology and gynecology and recognizes the importance of this type of healthcare for women of all ages. She is a self-proclaimed "bladder cheerleader," as she explains what's happening to their bodies and empowers patients to make life-changing steps to live a healthier life. By serving as a resource and offering support to a patient, they can feel good about themselves, improve their health, and take control of their life.
"Dysfunction in one area can have a ripple effect, impacting others," Johnson says. When women improve their health, they experience freedom and confidence and enjoy their life more. Since we live in a patriarchal society geared towards men, making women feel heard makes a huge difference.
Specialists Can Help When Other Avenues Haven't
Dr. Johnson is passionate about empowering women and suggests seeking a specialist when other health professionals are not providing the care you need. Regarding women's health, her experience in urogynecology offers unique answers to struggling patients. A specialist can help improve the health, confidence, and well-being of a patient looking for this specific resource.
Women that approach menopause, "or puberty in reverse," see Dr. Johnson to learn how to take control over their life in these often stressful times. "Estrogen is natural to the female body, so fluctuations during menopause can have physical and mental effects on women," Johnson notes. Bladder issues, intimacy concerns, and embarrassment can harm a woman's spirit, but having a specialist truly listen and offer clarity genuinely empowers women.
Mental Health & Physical Health Are Always Intertwined
Johnson sees patients who are experiencing pelvic, vaginal, or bladder issues. These physical concerns can lead to mental health struggles and insecurities, but she offers hope to improve their health. "Many of these conditions are treatable if not curable, and we'll work together to find a support system and solve a patient's problems," she says, offering the guidance they need to take control of their life and get answers.

The G.R.I.P. Method
G.R.I.P. stands for "Greatness Requires Intention & Purpose," and many who have followed this method can attest to that. This strategy helps people find their goals, inspirations, and visions and execute them with clear intentions through planning, purpose, and integrity. It works with science and psychology to make dreams a reality.
It is a roadmap that guides you through struggles and hardships, with the final destination being the life you want to lead or the changes you wish to make. The G.R.I.P. Method offers a plan to go from fear to freedom and helps you break away from where past attempts did not work.
