Achieving and maintaining a balanced body composition is one of the most meaningful goals for long-term health and well-being. While weight is often the number people focus on, it does not provide the full picture. Two individuals may weigh the same but have vastly different health profiles depending on the proportion of fat, muscle, bone, and water in their bodies. Understanding body composition allows for a deeper look into one’s physical health and helps guide more effective lifestyle choices.

Every October, two important healthcare observances take place side by side: National Pharmacy Week and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Together, they remind us of the vital connection between pharmacists, patients, and technology in advancing cancer care.

Pharmacists are often among the most accessible healthcare professionals, serving as a bridge between medical treatment and day-to-day patient needs. In breast cancer care, their expertise extends far beyond dispensing medication. It’s about empowering patients through education, monitoring, and personalized support.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited connective tissue disorders that affect the body’s collagen, the protein that gives strength and elasticity to skin, joints, and blood vessels. For those living with EDS, this means everyday challenges such as joint hypermobility, chronic pain, fatigue, and skin fragility.

While EDS is considered rare, its effects are deeply personal and far-reaching. Symptoms can vary widely, making diagnosis and management highly individualized. The most common types include hypermobile EDS (hEDS) and classical EDS (cEDS).

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that affects millions worldwide, yet it often remains misunderstood. Characterized by widespread pain in muscles and soft tissues, fatigue, and cognitive challenges, fibromyalgia can disrupt daily routines and emotional well-being for many individuals.

At Wave Health, we believe technology can provide data-driven insights to help empower patients to better manage their symptoms and create more open discussions of their health journey with their care teams.
