Ryan McVay | Thinkstock Some TV shows would have you believe that a nurse’s sole function is to be a hospital handmaiden. But nursing is so much more than dispensing meds and cleaning up Code Browns.

August is National Breastfeeding Month, and the U.S. Breastfeeding Committee has chosen “This is Our Why” as its theme this year. Much has been written about the physical benefits of breastfeeding for mother and child—better infection protection for babies and reduced cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes risks for mom. I want to dive a bit deeper into the benefits for society.

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years.
