🔬Researchers looked at placentas and discovered thousands of DNA “tags” (called methylation marks) that change how genes behave without changing the genes themselves.
These tags tell genes when to turn on or off—like light switches—and were found to be very different between male and female placentas that may play a role in birthweight and adult diseases!

🧘Do you know that postnatal yoga has been shown to reduce depressive symptoms and boost psychological well-being in new mothers?
A recent systematic review highlights that postnatal yoga doesn’t just support physical recovery—it improves quality of life and mental health during one of the most transformative times in a woman’s life (Munns et al, 2024).

At the Women’s Global Health Institute – Student Chapter, we advocate promoting preventive care and holistic wellness for women—because mental health is health.
